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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.

An electropalatographic study of stop consonant clusters
Speech Communication, 1993Abstract This is an electropalatographic investigation of coarticulation for heterosyllabic stop consonant clusters in American English and Catalan VCCV sequences. The heterorganic clusters under analysis were [tk], [kt], [tp], [pt], [kp], [pk].

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 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.

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.

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.
