Is a stop consonant released when followed by another stop consonant?
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1981Phoneticians have generally claimed that, in sequences of two-stop consonants in English, the first stop is often unreleased. To examine this claim, we recorded sentences, produced by several native speakers of American English at a conversational rate, containing disyllabic words with one of the 24 possible sequences of two nonhomorganic stops across ...

To extract speech from acoustic interference is a challenging problem. Previous systems based on auditory scene analysis principles deal with voiced speech, but cannot separate unvoiced speech. We propose a novel method to separate stop consonants, which contain significant unvoiced signals, based on their acoustic properties.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1956
Short-time energy vs frequency spectra of stop bursts, and formant transitions in the adjacent vowel have been studied. Sound segments consisting of burst or transition alone were submitted to listeners for identification. Results are discussed with the aim of developing possible identifying criteria utilizing cues in the burst spectra and in the ...

Detecting stop consonants in continuous speech
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002The problem of implementing a detector for stop consonants in continuously spoken speech is considered. The problem is posed as one of finding an optimal filter (linear or nonlinear) that operates on a particular appropriately chosen representation, and ideally outputs a 1 when a stop occurs and 0 otherwise.

The structure of Hindi stop consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016The pronunciation of stop consonants varies markedly with age, gender, accent, etc. Yet by extracting appropriate cues common to these varying pronunciations, it is possible to correctly identify the spoken consonant. In this paper, the structure underlying Hindi stop consonants is presented. This understanding may potentially be used as a “recipe” for

The Silent Interval of Stop Consonants
Language and Speech, 1974An experiment was conducted to measure the silent interval (SI) preceding the burst of all the stop consonants in English. A list of words was constructed for each pair of stop cognates. More commonly used words with stop cognates in similar environments were chosen for the experiment.

Computer recognition of stop consonants
ICASSP '79. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005The paper describes a computer program for the automatic recognition of stop consonants in continuous speech. The recognition is performed by a fuzzy algorithm that accounts for the imprecision of the features extracted and of the rules. The rules belong to a fuzzy grammar and account for coarticulation and contextual effects.

Acoustic Invariance for Stop Consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972Previous research using synthetic speech has revealed that rapid frequency changes in the speech wave (transitions) are important cues for the perception of stop consonants. It has also been shown that these transitions are different for a given consonant in different vowel environments.
