Voicing contrast in Turkish: Simultaneous measurements of acoustics, EPG and intraoral pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the Turkish voicing contrast with simultaneous measurements of acoustics, EPG and intraoral pressure. We further aimed to understand the mechanisms behind the maintenance or disappearance of voicing in Turkish. According to our results, intraoral pressure rises more slowly for voiced sounds than for their voiceless counterparts. Voiced fricatives have shorter duration, more palatal contact, and lower intraoral pressure velocity maximum compared to voiceless cognates. Furthermore, we found a positive correlation between intraoral pressure and the number of (relative) anterior palatal contacts.

Modeling source-tract interaction in speech production: Voicing onset vs. vowel height after a voiceless obstruent
This paper shows that observed higher values of intraoral pressure at voicing onset of higher vowels vs. low vowels might be consequence of the acoustical coupling between the vocal fold oscillation and the vocal tract. The acoustical coupling is characterized by a simple model based on a lumped description of tissue mechanics, quasi-steady flow and one dimensional acoustics. The model predicts...
متن کاملAn EMMA/EPG study of voicing contrast correlates in German
Except for cavity enlargement strategies there is not much consensus about the involvement of supralaryngeal movements in the production of the voicing contrast. In order to study supralaryngeal stop production mechanisms we investigated the kinematics of tongue tip and jaw as well as tongue-palate contact patterns for four German subjects. We took alveolar stops in word medial (Cm) and word fi...
متن کاملOn the articulation, aerodynamics, and acoustics of voiceless consonant clusters
This investigation aims towards a better understanding of the relations between intraoral pressure variations, articulation (tongue palatal contact changes), and acoustic events in long voiceless consonant clusters. We are in general interested to describe these relations globally, but also with respect to speaker specific realizations and their potential causes. To do so, a new experimental se...
متن کاملThe phonological voicing contrast in Czech: an EPG study of phonated and whispered fricatives
Czech represents a language with a high correlation between phonological and phonetic voicing, but the perception of the voicing contrast is supported by other phonetic correlates. We employed electropalatography (EPG) to investigate the articulatory correlates of the voicing contrast in phonated and whispered speech. Eight subjects read short sentences and VCV sequences with alveolar/postalveo...
متن کاملAerodynamic and durational cues of phonological voicing in whisper
This paper presents analyses on the phonological voicing contrast in whispered speech, which is characterized by the absence of vocal fold vibrations. In modal speech, besides glottal vibration, the contrast between voiced and unvoiced consonants is realized by other phonetic correlates: e.g. consonant and pre-consonantal vowel durations, intraoral pressure differences. The analysis of these vo...
