  "summary": "The temporal structure of speech has traditionally been characterized by the rhythmicity of its canonical linguistic units (phonemes, syllables, words), each summarized by a mean occurrence rate. While valid, this view overlooks whether speech carries a finer, context-dependent and probabilistic temporal structure that could support temporal predictive coding during listening. Using large French…",
