On Acoustical Cues for Stop Consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1956A study has been conducted of the two major cues for stop consonants: the burst of the stop release and the transition of the formants in the adjacent vowels. Detailed frequency vs intensity spectra of the bursts were prepared, while the transitions were studied by means of Sonagraph records.

The perception of stop consonants by children
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973Abstract Kindergarten and second-grade children's perception of voicing distinctions among the stop consonants was investigated by assessing their ability to identify and discriminate a series of synthetic speech stimuli varying in voice onset time (VOT). Perception of these sounds was found to be nearly categorical.

Distribution of information in stop consonants
Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1963A representative sample of stop-consonant sounds was recorded on magnetic tape. These were then cut out and spliced close together; they were played back and their oscillograms recorded with a camera of the continuously motor-driven type. On this film the required parts of the sounds, their gap, burst, transition, etc., can be located.

Allophonic Backward Masking of Stop Consonants
Phonetica, 1980Abstract During dichotic stimulation with CV [stop + vowel] syllables, 5 subjects reported right ear (RE) targets as the left ear (LE) mask syllable lagged behind RE by 0–200 ms. Seven-step synthetic speech continua for voice (/pa-ba/, /ta-da/) and place (/pa-ta/, /ba-da/) served as stimuli; stimulus 1 and 7 were phonetically ‘optimum ...

Speaker-independent recognition of stop consonants
ICASSP '87. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005Some experiments in stop consonant recognition using a new speech analysis technique are presented. The speech analysis technique used a Mellin-Fourier Homomorphism (MFH) on the Fourier transform of initial stop consonant bursts. A template-matching K-nearest neighbor algorithm, with MFH spectra as input, was used in identifying the stops.

Labial kinematics in stop consonant production.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996This study examines kinematic patterns of upper and lower lip movements in bilabial stop production with particular emphasis on events before and during the oral closure. Lip movements were recorded using a magnetometer system. Five subjects participated and produced 50 tokens of the sequences /aCV/, where C was either /p/ or /b/ and V one of the ...

Glottal Stops and Double Consonants
Abstract This chapter discusses select aspects of Polish speech for the stage. The authors familiarize readers with the rules of pronouncing double consonants in Polish—one of the many questions that arise when performing in a new language.Laura Kafka-Price, Maksymilian Krzak

Tape Cutting Experiments with Stop Consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972In Danish words with /p,t,k,b,d,g/+/i,a,u/, stop bursts, aspirations, and formant transitions have been removed and exchanged. [Danish /p,t,k/ are strongly aspirated (/t/ affricated), /b,d,g/ are voiceless.] 500 stimuli were presented to 21 listeners, who had to identify the words. Main results were: For the distinction between /p,t,k/ and /b,d,g/, the

Vowel normalization using stop consonant loci.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009Vowel normalization techniques used in sociophonetics aim to eliminate the influence of vocal tract length differences on resonant frequencies so that speaker-specific vowel configurations can be compared more precisely. In vowel-extrinsic methods, a speaker’s F1-F2 range is scaled up or down, and vowel spaces are aligned using the geometrical F1-F2 ...
