Distinctive vowel length
The principles on which the IPA should be based
As part of the preparation for the meeting on the revision of the International Phonetic Alphabet, I have been asked to write a short summary of my correspondence with a number of members of the Association on the principles on which the alphabet should be based. To this end, I have sought the views of the 34 respondents who gave first or second rank to this topic on the preregistration form for the 1989 Convention

The perception of word-initial consonant length
In experimental phonetic research, we often come across cases of multiple perceptual cues to a phonemic distinction, even though this distinction may be seen traditionally as dependent on some single phonetic feature. The question arises as to the relative power of these cues. How equally do they share the burden of communicative relevance? For example, among the several cues that emanate from the timing of the valvular action of the larynx (Lisk…

Static and Dynamic Acoustic Cues in Distinctive Tones
It is conventional to classify phonemic tones into dynamic or contour tones and static or level tones. The perceptual relevance of this impressionistic dichotomy is considered here for Central Thai, which has two dynamic tones (falling and rising pitches) and three static tones (high, mid, and low). A fundamental-frequency range appropriate to an adult male voice was used to synthesize three series of tonal variants on a syllable type available f…

Voice-timing perception in Spanish word-initial stops
Tonal Experiments With Whispered Thai
Distinctive Features and Laryngeal Control
Physiological, acoustic, and perceptual data indicate that the timing of events at the glottis relative to articulation differentiates homorganic stops in many languages. Such categories are variously described in terms of voicing, aspiration, and force of articulation. Chomsky & Halle 1968 have proposed a universal set of phonetic features, four of which—voice, tensity, glottal constriction, and heightened subglottal pressure—allegedly operate t…

Some Effects of Context On Voice Onset Time in English Stops
Recent work has led us to the conclusion that the English stop categories /bdg/ and /ptk/ are distinguished by the timing of changes in glottal aperture relative to supra-glottal ariculation. In word-initial position, the environment of current interest to us, this is manifested acoustically by voice onset time, that is, the time interval between the burst that marks release of the stop closure and the onset of quasi-periodicity which reflects la…

The Identification and Discrimination of Synthetic Vowels
A series of thirteen two-formant vowels was synthesized and used as the basis of labelling and discrimination tests with a group of English-speaking listeners. The sounds varied only in F1/F2 plot and the resulting vowel qualities were such that listeners found no difficulty in assigning each sound to one of three phonemic categories, those of the vowels in bid, bed and bad. The results of the tests were compared with those previously obtained in…
The Perception of English Stops by Speakers of English, Spanish. Hungarian, and Thai
American English stops, including residual stops, i.e., stops in /s/-clusters after the removal of the /s/, were presented in front of stressed vowels for identification on the one hand to native speakers of American English, on the other, to native speakers of Puerto Rican Spanish, Hungarian, and Thai, languages with differences in the phonetic composition of their stop phonemes. Speakers of American English identified the residual stops with th…
