As one perceives one's own voice quite differently from one's listeners, it has been hypothesized that phonatory vibrations may be useful as a feedback signal for the control of phonation. These vibrations have been examined in some articles whic...

Persian has sequences of two vowels separated by an intervening glottal consonant (/h/ or //). The VG(lottal)V sequence becomes reduced in certain occurrences, with the perceptual effect of the loss of the glottal consonant. The purpose of this study is to provide an acoustic description of VGV sequences in reduced forms. A production study examined three acoustic measurements of phonation typ...
