The goal of this research is to describe the phonetics of glottalization-laringalization phenomena and to offer a preliminary examination of its phonological status in three Eastern Tucanoan languages: Tuyuca, Tucano and Macuna.A collection of approximately 140 words was elicited in each language during fieldwork.The data comes from four native speakers of each language: two women and two men.The phonetic analysis corresponds to observations of different laryngeal settings in the production of glottalizationlaringalization phenomena, and their acoustic correlates such as VOT for aspiration, and spectral tilt, fundamental frequency and duration for laringalization.As for the phonological analysis, a characterization of the glottalization-laringalization phenomena, using the laryngeal feature [± cet] of Moisik & Esling (2011) and prosodic markers of Gordon & Ladefoged (2001), was suggested.Results show that two languages have post aspiration, voiceless vowels and creaky voice.Post aspiration occurs in voiceless consonants in two languages, is not contrastive and is conditioned mainly by the occurrence of high vowels.Voiceless vowels are present in Tuyuca and Tucano, and occur only after the first vowel of a subset of root morphemes with syllabic pattern (C)VhV.Finally, creaky voice is present in Tucano and less in Macuna; it occurs after the first vowel of a subset of root morphemes with syllablic patterns (C)VʔV/(C)Vʔ(C)V, and it has at least three different phonetic realizations (glottal stop, laringalized transitions, and abrupt changes in intensity between modal and creaky voice).When voicelessness and creaky voice are produced, the tone associated with the first vowel is low.Considering the phonetic and phonological similarities of these phenomena -including the glottal fricative-, this studyproposes the realization of a laryngeal suprasegment that occurs on the first mora of a subset of root morphemes, whose function is to mark two types of prosodic boundaries: a bimoraic limit within the syllable and a syllabic boundary in dissilabic patterns
