Acoustic properties of geminate consonants

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
It is generally assumed in informal descriptions that what distinguishes geminate from nongeminate consonants is duration of articulation. This has not, however, been demonstrated instrumentally, nor are informal descriptions precise about what should be measured.

Temporal effects of geminate consonants and consonant clusters

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1987
Current phonological theory analyzes geminate consonants as sequences of adjacent timing slots that completely share features while closing one syllable and opening the next. This analysis predicts that the temporal organization of utterances with geminate consonants is parallel to that of utterances including heterosyllabic consonant clusters.

Geminates and Long Consonants in Jordanian Arabic

International Journal of Linguistics, 2011
This paper aims at considering the phonological status of word final geminates in Jordanian Arabic (JA) within Optimality Theory (OT). A ban on trimoraic syllables in the language triggers a process of degemination. A crucial distinction is made between geminates and long consonants based on moraicity. Geminates are moraic while long consonants are not.

Consonant gemination in West Greenlandic

2019
This thesis proposes an analysis in Harmonic Serialism of a cross-morpheme consonant gemination process in West Greenlandic. Central considerations to the analysis are surface restrictions on geminate consonants as well as general consonant behavior at morpheme boundaries. The gemination process at hand involves regressive consonant assimilation when a

The Phonetics and Phonology of Geminate Consonants

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
Geminate consonants, also known as long consonants, appear in many languages in the world, and how they contrast with their short counterparts, or singletons (e.g. /tt/ vs. /t/), is an important topic that features in most linguistics and phonology textbooks.
