Isochrony refers to the occurrence of stressed syllables at equal time intervals through an utterance.

They found modicum assent about the actuality of its principles.
They assure its existence at perceptual level.
The term ''perceptual isochrony'' includes a role in two significant psycholinguistic styles ''underlying spoken'' and written word comprehension, which are word segmentation and lexical access.
Isochrony cannot be neglected because it forms the standard of rhythmic system of English.
