Korean lenis, fortis, and aspirated stops: effect of place of articulation on acoustic realization
نویسنده
چکیده
Unlike most of the world's languages, Korean distinguishes three types of voiceless stops, namely lenis, fortis, and aspirated stops. All occur at three places of articulation. In previous work, acoustic measurements are mostly collapsed over the three places of articulation. This study therefore provides acoustic measurements of Korean lenis, fortis, and aspirated stops at all three places of articulation separately. Clear differences are found among the acoustic characteristics of the stops at the different places of articulation.

Acoustic and aerodynamic correlates of Korean stops and fricatives
This study examines acoustic and aerodynamic characteristics of consonants in standard Korean and in Cheju, an endangered Korean language. The focus is on the well-known three-way distinction among voiceless stops (i.e., lenis, fortis, aspirated) and the two-way distinction between the voiceless fricatives /s/ and /s*/. While such a typologically unusual contrast among voiceless stops has long ...
متن کاملCorrelation between VOT and F0 in the perception of Korean stops and affricates
This research examines the trading correlation between VOT and F0 in the production and perception of the three-way distinction of Korean stops and affricates, namely, lenis, aspirated, and fortis, in the word-initial position. For this research, I conducted production and perception tests. For the production test, two female and two male native speakers of Seoul Korean recorded a monosyllabic ...
متن کاملIntervocalic fortis and lenis stops in a Norwegian dialect
This study looks into the realization of intervocalic fortis and lenis stop consonants produced by a group of subjects from the Trøndelag region in Norway. The speech material consisted of isolated words containing fortis and lenis stops occurring after phonologically long and short vowels. Three different places of articulation were included: bilabial, alveolar and velar. The results of acoust...
متن کاملF0 Development in Acquiring Korean Stop Distinction
A number of studies have investigated the role of Voice Onset Time (VOT) on acquisition of stop voicing contrast. Korean stop contrasts (lenis, fortis, and aspirated), however, cannot be differentiated only by VOT since they are all pulmonic egressive voiceless stops. For this three-way distinction, another acoustic parameter, fundamental frequency (F0), critically operates. The present study e...

Hyunsoon Kim, Hongik University Seoul Korea ([email protected] or [email protected]) The present study is concerned with the direct relationship of articulation-based phonological distinctive features, through their acoustic correlates, to perception, based on recent articulatory, acoustic and perception experiments on the three-way laryngeal contrast in Korean consonants. The recent ...
