Contextual Effects on Vo Stop Consonants In
نویسنده
چکیده
A perception experiment on stop consonant voicing in (C)V1CV2 was conducted to test the effects of the preceding vowel. Five types of /ki/ as CV1 differing in closure voicing, vowel duration and vowel devoicing were spliced with a da-ta VOT continuum as CV2. Subjects’ judgment between the spliced kita and kida along a VOT range was compared with that of ta and da in isolation. Strong effects of closure voicing and vowel devoicing were observed. More importantly, voicing judgment gradually shifted towards voiceless with the gradual reduction of the preceding vowel, indicating the parallelism of phonetic, gradient vowel reduction and its perception.

The Effect of Contextual Consonants on Voiced Stop Lenition: Evidence from Catalan.
Abstract This study uses acoustic energy measures for /b, d, g/ after /f, s, ∫, l, r/ in Catalan in order to test whether postconsonantal voiced stop lenition is ruled by minimization of articulatory effort, acoustico-perceptual continuity of an ongoing prosodic constituent or some other principle of articulatory organization. Data for eight speakers reveal that lenition is more prone to operat...
متن کاملAn articulatory investigation of lingual coarticulatory resistance and aggressiveness for consonants and vowels in Catalan.
Lingual movement data for Catalan vowel-consonant-vowel sequences reveal differences in contextual coarticulatory variability in tongue position at the middle of the consonant for p>/n/>dark/l/>/s/>> and at vowel midpoint for /u/>/a/>/i/. The velar stop /k/ exhibits a high degree of contextual variability in the horizontal dimension but not in the vertical dimension. These differences in coarti...
متن کاملStress: Phonotactic and Phonetic Evidence
Stress can be signaled through a number of different acoustic properties, including increased duration, greater intensity, and higher fundamental frequency. Stress may also affect segmental and syllable structure. Typically, stressed syllables trigger qualitative fortition and/or lengthening, whereas unstressed syllables are associated with lenition and/or shortening. To take an example of a st...
متن کاملPreceding phonetic context affects perception of nonspeech (L)
A discrimination paradigm was used to detect the influence of phonetic context on speech ~experiment 1a! and nonspeech ~experiment 1b! stimuli. Results of experiment 1a were consistent with the previously observed phonetic context effect of liquid consonants ~/(/ and /./! on subsequent stop consonant ~/,/ and /$/! perception. Experiment 1b demonstrated a context effect of liquid consonants on s...
متن کاملEstimation of transpalatal nasalance during production of voiced stop consonants by noncleft speakers using an oral-nasal mask.
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to estimate nasalance due to transpalatal transfer of acoustic energy during production of voiced stop consonants by noncleft speakers. We also determined the relationship between the transpalatal nasalance and fundamental frequency (F0) of the speakers. METHOD Participants were 8 men and 10 women (mean age = 21.9 years, SD = 4.0) without cleft palate who produced ...
