Previous research has shown that in languages like English, the implementation of voicing
in voiced obstruents is affected by linguistic factors such as utterance position, stress, and …

Many languages make a two-way laryngeal contrast in obstruents, but the phonological and
phonetic characterization of these contrasts continues to be controversial. In English …

The aerodynamic voicing constraint presents the speaker with some physical limits on
maintaining voicing during obstruents. Languages 'phonologies reveal a variety of strategies …

Evolutionary Phonology is the study of synchronic sound patterns as partial reflections of
their evolution or history, with a central focus on explanations for sound pattern typology …

This work reports cross-languages differences in the voicing of utterance-initial voiced stops,
and in the use of active maneuvers to achieve closure voicing, using correlated …

This work investigates laryngeal and supralaryngeal correlates of the voicing contrast in
alveolar obstruent production in German. It further studies laryngealoral co-ordination …

This paper describes a cross-linguistic production study of devoicing for European
Portuguese (EP), Italian, and German. We recorded all stops and fricatives in four vowel …

In this dissertation, I argue that a variety of probabilistic patterns in natural language
phonology derive from communicative efficiency. I present evidence from phonetically …

Contexts of and Relations between Early Writing Systems (CREWS) is a project funded by
the European Research Council under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and …

Understanding of the production mechanisms of voiced fricatives lags significantly behind
that of other phonemic categories of speech. This paper presents a new voicing …
