Durational characteristics of hindi stop consonants
نویسنده
چکیده
A study of the durational characteristics of Hindi stop consonants in spoken sentences was carried out. An annotated and time-aligned Hindi speech database was used in the experiment. The influences of aspiration, voicing and gemination on the durations of closure and post-release segments of plosives as well as the duration of the preceding vowel were studied. It was observed that the post-release duration of a plosive changes systematically with manner of articulation. However, due to its large variation in continuous speech, the post-release duration alone is not sufficient to identify the manner of articulation of Hindi stops as hypothesised in earlier studies. A low value of the ratio of the duration of a vowel to the closure duration of the following plosive is a reliable indicator of gemination in Hindi stop consonants in continuous speech.

Durational characterstics of hindi consonant clusters
In the present study various durations of closure, preceding vowel etc. have been studied in meaningful Hindi two consonant cluster words with stop consonants ( such as /s ptah/ (week) and / bd (word)). The data included 80 most frequently occurring clusters of Hindi language. All these words were recorded by five male speakers and analysed using the Sensimetrics speech station software package...
متن کاملDurational characteristics and timing patterns of Russian onset clusters at two speaking rates
This study presents articulatory data on the durational and timing characteristics of Russian onset clusters and their change as a function of speaking rate. While there is increasing evidence that languages differ systematically in their consonant-to-consonant timing, little is known on whether this difference also entails different implementations of speaking rate changes. Russian contrasts w...
متن کاملCross-linguistic tendencies and durational contrasts in geminate consonants: an examination of Guinaang Bontok geminates
In Guinaang Bontok, there is a phonological contrast between singletons and geminates in all consonants (/p t k / b d gm n N l s w j/) (Reid 1963, 1973; Thurgood 1997). All phonological geminates except for the oral voiced stop geminates are phonetically long consonants (Reid 1963), allowing a phonological distinction which is primarily based on phonetic duration for nasals, fricatives, liquids...
متن کاملDurational correlates of singleton-geminate contrast in Hungarian voiceless stops
This paper presents the results of a durational analysis of singleton and geminate stop consonants from Hungarian spontaneous speech. The durational correlates of three types of geminates (i.e., underlying, derived true and fake geminates) are also examined and compared to one another. Results show that single voiceless stops are realized with significantly shorter total and closure duration th...
