Eros, Beauty, and Phon-Aesthetic Judgements of Language Sound. We Like It Flat and Fast, but Not Melodious. Comparing Phonetic and Acoustic Features of 16 European Languages.

Furthermore, in terms of Melody ñents variance the two language sets showed a trend toward a weak or moderate positive correlation, but this was not significant ( r = 0.4, p = 0.12).

Notwithstanding, despite all the idiosyncrasy, we found no significant correlations with all the variables, but two: in the first set and the second set of independently collected voice recordings’ text length showed a marginally significant moderate correlation ( r = 0.46; p.076) and there is a significant positive high correlation between Melody cents variance and Text length ( r = 0.6, p = 0.01 ∗ ) in the second set and there was a similar one at trend level in the first set of recordings ( r = 0.44, p = 0.085).

Only in the case of Orderliness , there was a negative trend (yet non-significant): the more distant the language was, the less orderly it was perceived.

Recall that we found a highly significant correlation between Orderliness : and L1 community size with the more orderly languages having larger native speaker communities (German, English, and Ukrainian).
