Closure duration of stop consonants
Journal of Phonetics, 1983Abstract: The present research was designed to provide additional data on stop closure durations as a function of (1) voicing, (2) stress, (3) position, and (4) place-of-articulation. Six subjects, three males and three females, produced a series of nonsense disyllables of the form CVCVC in a carrier phrase.

Lip kinematics in long and short stop and fricative consonants [PDF]
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005 This paper examines lip and jaw kinematics in the production of labial stop and fricative consonants where the duration of the oral closure/constriction is varied for linguistic purposes.

Effects of Aging on the Subcortical Encoding of Stop Consonants
American Journal of Audiology, 2020Purpose The main purpose of this study was to evaluate aging effects on the predominantly subcortical (brainstem) encoding of the second-formant frequency transition, an essential acoustic cue for perceiving place of articulation.

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.

Temporal information in gated stop consonants
Speech Communication, 2003The goal of the present paper is to assess the importance of dynamic spectral information in short, gated stop bursts. Automatic classification of naturally produced stimuli shows that a dynamic spectral representation gives lower misclassification rates than a static one for place-of-articulation distinctions in stimuli longer than 10 ms.

Acoustic Properties of Stop Consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1957The two major cues for stop consonants, the burst of the stop release and the formant transitions in the adjacent vowel, were investigated. Detailed energy density spectra of the bursts were prepared. The transitions were studied by means of sonagrams. Possible criteria for identification were developed and tested.

On the naturalness of stop consonant voicing
Journal of Linguistics, 1986A long recognized problem for linguistic theory has been to explain why certain sounds, sound oppositions, and sound sequences are statistically preferred over others among languages of the world. The formal theory of markedness, developed by Trubetzkoy and Jakobson in the early 1930's, and extended by Chomsky and Halle (1968), represents an attempt to

Development of Stop Consonants in Korean
Korean Linguistics, 2008Abstract. The purpose of this study was to examine acoustically the developmental characteristics of Korean stops. Stop productions were obtained from 30 Korean male and female children in two age ranges (5 and 10 years). Voice-Onset-Time (VOT) delay and fundamental frequency (f 0) at the onset of vowel were

Effects of transition length on the perception of stop consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978This study investigated the effects of lengthened transitions on the perception of stop consonants. In experiment I, three continua representing the phonetic categories [da] and [ga] containing transitions of 45, 95, or 145 ms were presented to 20 subjects for both labeling and discrimination.

Some Characteristics of Stop Consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1959Stop-vowel syllables were synthesized by use of both the cascaded resonant circuit (POVO) and the dynamical vocal tract analog (DAVO). Variation of formant positions or of articulatory configurations, intensity envelope, and inflection of fundamental frequency were controlled. A noise source was used as excitation for unvoiced stop consonants. Unvoiced
