The three-way laryngeal distinction among voiceless Korean stops has been well documented for the Seoul dialect. The present study compares the acoustic and aerodynamic properties of this stop series between two dialects, non-tonal Seoul and tonal South Kyungsang Korean. Sixteen male Korean speakers (eight from Seoul and eight from Kyungsang) participated. Measures collected included VOT, f0 at...

This paper is an apparent-time study of sound change in a three-way laryngeal contrast of Korean stops. The data are drawn from a read speech corpus distributed by the National Institute of the Korean Language. Voice Onset Time (VOT) of sentence initial stops and f0 of the first two vowels of the sentence produced by 117 Seoul Korean speakers were measured to determine how VOT and f0 realizatio...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) during transplantation of the ovarian tissue into the testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, ovaries of 6- to 8-week-old female Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice were randomly divided into four groups: i. Fresh ovaries were immediately transplanted into the testicular t...

The age at which children master adult-like voiced stops can generally be predicted by voice onset time (VOT): stops with optional short lag are early, those with obligatory lead are late. However, Japanese voiced stops are late despite having a short lag variant, whereas Greek voiced stops are early despite having consistent voicing lead. This cross-sectional study examines the acoustics of wo...

The signal sound contains many different features, including Voice Onset Time (VOT), which is a very important feature of stop sounds in many languages. The only application of VOT values is stopping phoneme subsets. This subset of consonant sounds is stop phonemes exist in the Arabic language, and in fact, all languages. Very important subsets of Semitic language’s consonants are the Emphatic ...

Voice onset time (VOT) is one of the acoustic properties stop consonants. It a durational measure between release and vocal fold vibration. English voiceless stops are characterized by loss aspiration when preceded an initial /s/ their VOT largely reduced. This paper aims to examine this phenomenon in Bahdini Kurdish. seeks investigate effect on following whether variables place articulation, v...

The visual attention (VA) span deficit hypothesis of developmental dyslexia posits that impaired multiple element processing can be responsible for poor reading outcomes. In VA span impaired dyslexic children, poor performance on letter report tasks is associated with reduced parietal activations for multiple letter processing. While this hints towards a non-specific, attention-based dysfunctio...

50 years of speech perception research provide a rich literature on crossand second language (L2) perception of stop consonant contrasts such as /p b/, /t d/, and /k g/ which differ systematically in the relative timing of oral stop release and the onset of vocal fold vibration (voice onset time: VOT). This research has focused primarily on two observations: 1) that nonnative listeners automati...
