Much crosslinguistic research exists on the production and perception of voice onset time (VOT). However, most research on the perception of VOT uses synthetic stimuli instead of natural speech stimuli. Effects of synthetic speech on the perception of VOT are not known, but more research needs to be done to see if there are differences between perception using synthetic speech and perception us...

This study examines voice onset time (VOT) for phonetically voiceless word-initial stops in Mandarin Chinese and in English, as spoken by 11 Mandarin speakers and 4 British English speakers. The purpose of this paper is to compare Mandarin and English VOT patterns and to categorize their stop realizations along the VOT continuum. As expected, the findings reveal that voiceless aspirated stops i...

El Voice Onset Time (VOT) es una medida acústica que hace referencia a la diferencia entre el tiempo de liberación oclusión y inicio vibración las cuerdas vocales en los sonidos oclusivos; VOT ratio (VOTr), por su parte, se refiere relación duración sílaba busca modelar efecto velocidad del habla sobre VOT. Ambas medidas han sido estudiadas hablantes con Enfermedad Parkinson (EP) tareas experim...

This study examined imitation of a voice onset time (VOT) continuum ranging from/da/to/ta/by by subjects differing in age and/or linguistic experience. The subjects did not reproduce the incremental increases in VOT linearly, but instead showed abrupt shifts in VOT between two or three VOT response "modes." The location of the response shifts occurred at the same location as phoneme boundaries ...

The present study investigates the temporal parameter of VOT from a cross-language perspective, as far as native Moroccan, native Italian and Moroccanaccented Italian are concerned. The comparative analysis carried out underlines a language effect on the VOT duration across the three language varieties. The statistical test points out VOT as one of the acoustic properties that characterize the ...

This work tests the relative role of perception- and production-based predictors, relationship between them, in imitation artificial accents varying voice onset time (VOT), using a paradigm designed to target distinct sub-processes imitation. We examined how explicit sentences differing systematically (VOT) was influenced by type VOT manipulation (lengthened vs. shortened) presence absence voic...

The purpose of the study was to ex10amine voice onset time (VOT) and its variability in children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) compared to typically developing children. Twelve children with CAS aged 912 years old and 20 children who were age-matched participated in the study. This study measured VOT and variabilities of VOT during the production of /p' a/, /t' a/, /k' a/. For variabil...
