Laryngeal characteristics during the production of geminate consonants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of high-speed digital video images showed no apparent constriction or tenseness in the larynx and glottis during the production of geminate consonants. Glottal width for geminate consonants is slightly, but not much wider than their singleton counterparts. The glottal width depends largely on consonant types. Analysis of photo-electric glottograms showed that an interruption of glottal opening movement and/or abrupt cessation of the preceding vowel may be involved during the production of geminate consonants.

Timing differences in articulation between single and geminate voiceless stop consonants: An analysis of cine-MRI data
Laryngeal and supralaryngeal articulators coordinately work to produce speech sounds. In order to study differences in supralaryngeal manifestations of consonants, we compared the tongue movement during /akise/ and /akki/ using the fast scanning techniques of MRI movies [1]. The result showed that the tongue displacement starts later in /kk/ than in /k/ for all of the five speakers of Tokyo Jap...
متن کاملLaryngeal Adjustments in the Production of Voiceless Obstruent Clusters in Berber
Laryngeal adjustments in voiceless obstruent clusters in Tashlhiyt Berber were examined by means of simultaneous transillumination, fiberoptic films and acoustic recordings. This language allows a rich variety of voiceless clusters naturally. Several combinations of /s/ and /k/ clusters including singleton and geminate consonants were examined. We focused on the number of glottal opening gestur...
متن کاملFactors influencing perceptual attainment of Japanese geminate consonants by Korean learners of Japanese
Two experiments were carried out to determine the perceptual mechanism which distinguishes geminate consonants of Japanese by Korean learners of Japanese. The first investigated the categorical perception of Japanese geminate consonants. In this experiment, we carried out a listening test to measure perceptual characteristics by Korean learners. The second was an interview of Korean learners on...
متن کاملLanguage specific listening of Japanese geminate consonants: a cross-linguistic study
Various aspects of linguistic experience influence the way we segment, represent, and process speech signals. The Japanese phonetic and orthographic systems represent geminate consonants (double consonants, e.g., /ss/, /kk/) in a unique way compared to other languages: one abstract representation is used to characterize the first part of geminate consonants despite the acoustic difference betwe...
متن کاملDurational Correlates of Word-initial Voiceless Geminate Stops: The Case of Kelantan Malay
This paper investigates the production of wordinitial geminate consonants in Kelantan Malay with a focus on voiceless stops. It presents an acoustic phonetic analysis examining two acoustic parameters: closure duration and voice onset time (VOT). Evidence from a production experiment indicates that there is a clear durational contrast between word-initial voiceless geminate stops and their sing...
