چکیده
________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Acoustic characterization of phonologically voiced obstruents in Shanghai dialect In Shanghainese, phonologically voiced obstruents in word-initial, accented position are phonetically voiceless and are distinguished from the others (i.e., voiceless and/or aspirated) mainly by a low tone register. Slightly breathy voice is also reported in the relevant literature as an additional characteristic of these obstruents in accented position. In this study, we used both monosyllabic and disyllabic words to revisit the issue of breathy phonation as characterizing phonologically voiced Shanghainese obstruents not only in accented position but also in non-accented position, where sandhi may affect tone register. We found breathy phonation most clearly when tone register is not affected. We also found that systematic duration patterns robustly characterize phonologically voiced obstruents, whether or not in accented position.

Shanghai Slack Voice: Acoustic and EPGG Data
From a representational viewpoint, the “voiced” series of obstruents in Shanghai dialect can be specified in terms of complementary, contextconditioned tonal and segmental features: either low tone or glottal pulsing. Yet, some studies have proposed that, when the “voiced” obstruents can only be signaled by low tone (stress-initially), they retain something of segmental voicedness. This somewha...
متن کاملDuration as a secondary cue for perception of voicing and tone in shanghai Chinese
Previous studies have reported phonetic characteristics of the Shanghai Chinese phonological voicing contrast, which cooccurs with a tonal contrast. In stressed word-initial position, phonetic voicing is neutralized and replaced with a tonal register contrast: high ‘yin’ tones for (phonologically) voiceless and low ‘yang’ tones for voiced obstruents. Furthermore, breathy vs. modal voice quality...
متن کاملVoicing variations in French obstruents: Distribution and acoustic quantification
This study investigates phonetic variation of voicing correlates in French obstruents. A controlled set of words was extracted from a large broadcast news corpus providing 378 word-initial singleton obstruents /t, d, k, s/. An expert investigation, by eye and ear, of the productions revealed that phonologically voiced obstruents are phonetically voiced most of the time (96%), while a large numb...
