Whispery voiced nasal stops in rwanda
The paper describes the main phonetic characteristics (acoustic, aerodynamic and articulatory) of Kinyarwanda prenasalized stops, focussing on voiceless consonants. We conclude from instrumental observations that the phonetic description of these sounds should be redefined. Consonants previously described as voiceless prenasalized stops in Rwanda are in fact whispery voiced nasal stops. Finally...
متن کاملOral Cavity Enlargement in Retroflex Stops
It is generally recognized that front-articulated stops are more compatible with voicing than backarticulated stops because the larger oral volume and compliance of front stops allows for longer trans-glottal airflow. Phonological patterns suggest that retroflex stops may be an exception to this pattern and may be more compatible with voicing than their dental/alveolar counterparts. An experime...
متن کاملVocal tract length during speech production
It is known that formant frequencies are inversely proportional with the vocal tract length of the speaker. Although it was observed that vocal tract length of a speaker is variable during speech production, the extent of this variability has not been fully examined in the literature. This talk presents a statistical analysis of the vocal tract length of a female speaker during the production o...
متن کاملPerception of the voiced-voiceless contrast in syllable-final stops.
A computer editing technique was used to remove varying amounts of voicing from the syllable-final closure intervals of naturally produced tokens of /p epsilon b, p epsilon d, p epsilon g, pag, pig, pug/. Vowels for all six syllables were approximately the same duration, and the final release bursts were retained. Identification results showed that voiceless responses tended to occur in relativ...
متن کاملAcoustic evidence of articulatory adjustments to sustain voicing during voiced stops
The present study seeks to provide acoustic evidence of articulatory adjustments to initiate and sustain voicing during stops. First, using aerodynamic and acoustic data, it examines variations in the amplitude of voicing in phraseinitial voiced stops in Spanish and English and relates these variations to articulatory adjustments to preserve a low oral pressure and voicing. Second, a correlatio...
