Lexical and syntactic gemination in Italian consonants -- Does a geminate Italian consonant consist of a repeated or a strengthened consonant? [PDF]
Two types of consonant gemination characterize Italian: lexical and syntactic. Italian lexical gemination is contrastive, so that two words may differ by only one geminated consonant. In contrast, syntactic gemination occurs across word boundaries, and affects the initial consonant of a word in specific contexts, such as the presence of a monosyllabic ...

The Effect of Total Thyroidectomy on the Speech Production [PDF]
ObjectivesVoice and speech alternations that can occur after total thyroidectomy are usually due to recurrent or superior laryngeal nerve injury. These alterations may also be associated with other extralaryngeal factors, such as neck muscle dysfunction ...

Vowel Hiatus Resolution in the // Environment in Derivation Boundary in Persian Words: Optimality Theory [PDF]
The purpose of this research is to analyze the process of consonant epenthesis as well as the type of the epenthetic consonant in the cases of vowel hiatus resolution in the /a-i/ environment in derivation boundary in Persian words based on Optimality ...

Spectra of some Stop Consonants [PDF]
Although considerable data exist describing the spectra of vowel sounds, little information is available with regard to the consonants. Such information is obviously of great importance to all who are interested in the study of the acoustical properties of speech.

To differentiate between stop-consonants, the auditory system has to detect subtle place of articulation (PoA) and voice onset time (VOT) differences between stop-consonants.

The aims of this study were to: 1) compare voicing contrast in speakers with Parkinson disease (PD) and healthy controls by comparing the separation of voice onset time (VOT) distributions of voiced and voiceless stop consonants and 2) to determine ...

Weighting of Static and Transition Cues in Voiceless Fricatives and Stops in Children Wearing Cochlear Implants [PDF]
ObjectivesTo determine how normal-hearing adults (NHA), normal-hearing children (NHC) and children wearing cochlear implants (CI) differ in the perceptual weight given cues for fricative consonants (having a comparatively long static cue and short ...

Introduction Compensatory articulations are speech disorders due to the attempt of the individual with cleft palate/velopharyngeal dysfunction to generate intraoral pressure to produce high-pressure consonants.

Formant Trajectories in CV Clusters for German Stops [PDF]
This paper presents an attempt to demonstrate the nonlinear progress of vowel formants in German CV clusters with stop sounds and identify it as a significant acoustic property characterizing the place of articulation of the stop ...

Influence of preceding [∫] or [s] on stop consonant perception [PDF]
The category boundary on a synthetic [ta]-[ka] continuum has been shown to shift when the syllables are preceded by [∫] or [s]: More velar stops are heard following [s] than [∫] [Mann and Repp, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 64, S17(A) (1978)]. In a further study of this context dependency, we have investigated whether it is primarily due to the fricative noise ...
