The proposal introduces the inductive approach of Rhythm Formant Theory (RFT) and the associated Rhythm Formant Analysis (RFA) method are introduced, with the aim of completing a gap in the linguistic hypothetico-deductive cycle by grounding in a language-independent inductive procedure of speech signal analysis.

Speech rhythms have been dealt with in three main ways: from the introspective analyses of rhythm as a correlate of syllable and foot timing in linguistics and applied linguistics, through analyses of durations of segments of utterances associated with consonantal and vocalic properties, syllables, feet and words, to models of rhythms in speech production and perception as physical oscillations.

A generalised view is taken of oscillation as iteration in abstract prosodic models and as modulation and demodulation of a variety of rhythms in the speech signal.
