Plosive Reduction at the Group Level and in the Individual Speaker
نویسنده
چکیده
This study presents results of phonetic factors on the reduction of plosives in spontaneously spoken Danish. Using mixed-effect logistic regression with speaker as random effect factor, it is shown that reduction of /d/ is distinct from reduction of /b/ and /g/. Speaker tendency for reduction relative to the group average is shown to be consistent across place of articulation for /b/ and /g/ for the majority of speakers sampled.
