"Standard Nigerian English has been described to differ systematically from British English in the areas of stress, rhythm, and intonation (Bamgbose 1971, 1982; Jibril 1986; Ufomata 1996; Jowitt 2000). Differences in word stress and the usage of sentence stress have been pointed out: sentence stress is not used for emphasis or contrast and given information is not usually deaccented. In the area of rhythm, it has been suggested that Nigerian English has a syllable-timed rather than stress-timed rhythm. Vowel reduction is less pronounced than in British English, which leads to a perceptual impression of equal weight and length of each syllable. In the area of intonation, finally, it has been suggested that Nigerian English reflects the prosodic structure of the speaker's native language and that stressed syllables are associated with a high tone and unstressed syllables with a low tone (Wells 1982)." - Ulrike Gut
