The development of skill in producing word-final English stops.
This study examined production of word-final English /p/ and /b/ by subjects whose native language does not possess voiced stops in word-final position. Native Chinese adults resembled native English adults, native English children, and native Chinese children in producing /p/ with greater peak oral air pressure than /b/. However, unlike subjects in the other groups, the Chinese adults' /b/ was...
متن کاملVoicing in Russian Stops: Cross-linguistic implications
This paper presents the results of an investigation of voicing in utterance-initial and intervocalic stops in monolingual Russian speakers. Prevoicing was found in over 97% of the lenis stops; over 97% of the intervocalic stops were fully voiced. Utterance-initial fortis stops were pronounced as voiceless unaspirated and had short positive VOT. Intervocalic fortis stops were completely voiceles...
متن کاملVoicing of Labiovelar Stops in Yoruba
This production study investigates the correlates of voicing in initial /b, k, , b, kp/ stops in Yoruba. We found “voiceless” /kp/ to be “partially voiced”. It has prevoicing, but at the same time it behaves like a typical voiceless stop in raising the f0 of the following vowel, and in having the tendency to decrease surrounding vowel durations. /kp/ and /b/ are furthermore distinguishe...
متن کاملProsodically-conditioned variati domain-final stops and voicing assim fricatives in Ge
This study investigates the realization of stop-fricative sequences across prosodic boundaries in German. According to phonological descriptions of German, voiced fricatives following voiceless obstruents undergo assimilatory devoicing. Results from acoustic analysis show that this process is gradient rather than categorical, and sensitive to prosodic structure, showing a larger extent of assim...
متن کاملDurational cues to fricative codas in 2-year-olds' American English: voicing and morphemic factors.
In the process of phonological development, fricatives are generally assumed to be later acquired than stops. However, most of the observational work on which this claim is based has concerned itself with word-initial onset consonants; little is known about how and when fricatives are mastered in word-final coda position (e.g., nose). This is all the more critical in a language like English, wh...
