A Plaintive Note re the Recent IPA Revisions
At the 1989 IPA Convention in Kiel it was decided that in the latest version of the IPA writing system no recognition be granted to a feature of force of articulation. At the time I questioned the advisability of this action, but another viewpoint won the day. Very possibly the refusal to allow for the notation of ‘fortis-lenis’ judgments in IPA transcription was based primarily on the conviction that ‘articulatory force’ has no generally accepte…
Auditory and Visual Cueing of the [±Rounded] Feature Of Vowels
That lipreading plays a role in phoneme recognition, even when the acoustic signal alone is phonologically unambiguous, has been concluded from experiments in the perception of discrepant combinations of acoustic and visual speech signals. Little is known about the effect of visual information on explicitly phonetic judgments, the kind of judgments made by trained observers that are the basis for describing the phonological pattern of a language.…
"On the Interpretation of Vowel "Quality
The usual description of vowels in respect to their "phonetic quality" requires the linguist to locate them within a so-called "vowel space," apparently articulatory in nature, and having three dimensions labeled high-low (or close-open), front-back, and unrounded-rounded. The first two are coordinates of tongue with associated jaw position, while the third specifies the posture of the lips. It is recognized that vowels can vary qualitatively in …
Voicing” in English
The English category sets /b, d, g/ and /p, t, k/ are now usually referred to as voiced and voiceless stops respectively, although it is recognized that membership in these sets is not entirely determined by whether, according to commonly accepted definitions, a given phonetic element is voiced or voiceless; nor need it even be described as a stop. What is true is that if a phonetic element is phonetically a voiced stop then it will be assigned t…
"How Is the Aspiration of English /p, t, k/ "Predictable
Aspiration as a phonetic property of the English stop categories is usually said to be non-distinctive on the ground that its occurrence can be accounted for by context-sensitive rules. The word-pair pin -spin is often cited by way of example. The word-initial voiceless stop is aspirated; the post-/s/ voiceless stop is not. But the presence of aspiration is "predicted" only for some voiceless stops - namely those that are "spelled" phonologically…
Laryngeal Management At Utterance-Internal Word Boundary in American English
Much attention has been given to the acoustic and physiological means by which the /bdg/-/ptk/ distinction in English is signaled. The most important articulatory difference has been found to involve the nature and timing of laryngeal action associated with the stop articulation. For the labial stops /b/ and /p/ at least three, and possibly four, phonetic classes must be recognized, but we cannot assume that these make up the complete inventory o…
Voicing in intervocalic stops and fricatives in Dutch
In Qualified Defense of VOT
The VOT measure has been said to provide the single most nearly adequate physical basis for separating homorganic stop categories across a variety of languages, granted that other features may also be involved. That transition duration affects perceived voicing of synthesized initial stops of one specific language, English, has suggested the hypothesis by Stevens and Klatt (1974) that a detector responsive to rapid formant-frequency shifts after …
On Pushing the Voice-Onset-Time (Vot) Boundary About
There is voluminous evidence that homorganic stop consonants are distinguishable on the basis of voice onset time relative to their supraglottal articulation. For initial stops a convenient acoustic reference point is the onset of the release burst, and VOT has been defined as the interval between this point and onset of glottal signal. VOT boundary values between voiced and voiceless initial stops of English have been established by spectrograph…

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…
Supraglottal Air Pressure in the Production of English Stops
Generally higher levels of intra-oral air pressure during occlusion are regularly reported for English /p,t,k/ as compared with /b,d,g/, and considerable significance has been attached to such observations, particularly by phonologists. Many of the published bodies of data, however, represent quite limited speech samples, consisting in the main of short nonsense utterances which contain stops in only a few contextual situations. In the present st…
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 Uses of Experiment in Language Description
To assess the validity of a grammar, one must derive utterances from it and then determine the acceptability of these utterances to native speakers of the language. At the level of syntax it is easy enough to isolate and recombine the relevant elements (words) and thus generate appropriate utterances, however difficult it may be to devise meaningful tests. In phonology, on the other hand, there should be no particular problem about designing test…

An Effect of Learning on Speech Perception
Discrimination of an acoustic variable (various durations of silence) was measured when, as part of a synthetic speech pattern, that variable cued a phonemic distinction and when the same variable appeared in a non-speech context. in the speech case the durations of silence separated the two syllables of a synthesized word, causing it to be heard as rabid when the intersyllabic silence was of short duration and as rapid when it was long. with aco…

Linguistic Segments, Acoustic Segments, and Synthetic Speech
Linguists, like many other people who feel called upon to talk about language, are in the habit of saying that speech activity is continuously variable in nature. Having said this, they proceed to describe particular samples of speech as sequences of events which they isolate on the basis of either articulatory definitions or acoustic definitions, or both. In carrying out this operation they are not seriously inconvenienced by the continuous aspe…

Closure Duration and the Intervocalic Voiced-Voiceless Distinction in English
Thanks to the means available for speech analysis and synthesis, there is at present considerable knowledge of the acoustic differences whereby we distinguish among the various sounds of English. We know, for example, what the more important acoustic cues are by which listeners decide whether a stop sound is velar, alveolar, or bilabial. In the case of the stops, moreover, we know by and large what the acoustic differences are between the members…

The Distinction between [æ] and [ε]
With the development of the sound spectrograph there is evidence of renewed interest on the part of linguists in the possibilities of defining in physical terms the elements that linguistics sets up by essentially different criteria. The spectrograph has many obvious advantages over other instruments at the disposal of the investigator of speech. It yields a continuous picture of the frequency–intensity relations over a time interval of about 2.4…
