American Stops
An analysis of oral and nasal stops, affricates, oral and nasal flaps, and glottal stops was conducted using data from the TIMIT database. The results offer descriptions of the frequency of these segments in the large TIMIT corpus, mean segmental durations, voice onset times, and certain effects of voicing, place, word position, and speaker sex. Because of the quantity and diversity of speech d...
متن کاملStructured variability in acoustic realization: a corpus study of voice onset time in American English stops
Talkers differ greatly in the acoustic realization of speech sounds, a source of signal variation that must be overcome by human and machine listeners. The present study examined talker variability in voice onset time (VOT) across the six word-initial stop consonant categories (/ptkbdg/) of American English. Employing a large corpus of productions from more than 100 speakers, we replicated prev...
متن کاملPreaspirated stops in the English of Scottish Gaelic-English bilinguals
Preaspirated voiceless stops, a well-documented feature of Scottish Gaelic, have also been anecdotally observed in the English spoken in the Scottish Hebrides island chain. This paper presents the first sociophonetic study of preaspirated stops in Hebrides English. Analysis of speech produced by 24 male and female Gaelic-English bilinguals aged 19-75 found that, while most participants produced...
متن کاملGlottal stops before word-initial vowels in American English: distribution and acoustic characteristics
Despite abundant research on the distribution of glottal stops and glottalization in English and other languages, it is still unclear which factors matter most in predicting where glottal stops occur. In this study, logistic mixed-effects regression modeling is used to predict the occurrence of word-initial full glottal stops vs. no voicing irregularity. The results indicate that prominence and...
متن کاملAcoustics of Spanish and English coronal stops
This study explores the acoustic correlates that distinguish coronal stops (/t/, /d/) between English and Spanish. English and Spanish coronal stops are hypothesized to differ in terms of voice-onset time and place of articulation. We are particularly concerned with capturing the place of articulation difference with acoustic data, as the voice-onset time difference is well known. Specifically,...
