Speech Perception: Stop Consonants

Consonants produced by completely obstructing the airflow in the vocal tract.

The way stop consonants are made, involving complete closure and release of airflow.

Categorizing stop consonants based on manner, place, and voicing.

A consonant where the airflow is completely blocked, then released.

The time the airflow is completely blocked when producing a stop consonant.

The brief, sudden release of air after the closure.

Changes in the vocal tract formants during and after the stop consonant.

The timing of vocal fold vibration relative to the release of the stop.

Distinguishing stop consonants from other consonants like fricatives, glides, nasals, and affricates.

A consonant made by completely blocking airflow in the vocal tract, then releasing it.

The location in the mouth where airflow is blocked to make stop consonants.

Whether vocal cords vibrate while producing a stop consonant.

The silent interval of complete closure during a stop consonant.

The brief burst of noise that follows the closure of a stop consonant.

Length of the complete closure/silent gap period during the production of a stop consonant.

Low-frequency energy characteristic of nasals.

Voiceless stops followed by a puff of air.

Consonants made with complete airflow blockage in the vocal tract.

Changes in vocal tract resonance (formants) that show acoustic transitions from stop to vowel or vowel to stop sounds.

Rapid formant transitions characterize stop consonants, especially the closure to release transition.

Shorter yet dynamic formant transition compared to diphthongs in glides.

Formant changes are smooth and clear in diphthongs, reflecting continuous vocal tract movement.

Nasals and Fricatives have gradual formant transitions, unlike stops.

The time between the release of a stop consonant and the onset of voicing.

Stops have a sudden burst of sound, unlike fricatives which are continuous sounds.

Stops have a brief complete closure and release, unlike glides which are smooth articulation with little constriction.

The time delay between the release of a stop consonant and the beginning of vocal fold vibration.

Changes in the resonant frequencies (formants) of the vocal tract during the production of a sound, particularly a vowel.

Specific formant 1 change at the beginning and end of a consonant, influencing its integration into speech.

Decrease in the frequency of formant 1 before a closure point, preparing for consonant production.

Change in F1 frequency after a closure in a consonant, after release.

A significant change in sound frequency connected with voicing.

The length of time air flow is obstructed.

Frequency of the sound release during consonant production.

The rate at which vocal folds vibrate, resulting in the basic pitch of a sound.

The length of time it takes for a vowel to be spoken before a consonant

A burst of breathy sound as a consonant is produced.

Time required for a sound to decrease in intensity after the release of a consonant.

Length of time for the release of a consonant

Intensity of the released sound in a consonant

Features of speech sounds that classify how the airflow is modified in the vocal tract.

Speech sounds produced with a lowered velum, allowing air to flow through the nose.

Speech sounds produced by forcing air through a narrow constriction in the vocal tract.

Speech sounds that have both a stop and fricative component.

Speech sounds that are consonant-like but quickly transition to a vowel sound.

Speech sounds produced by completely obstructing the airflow in the vocal tract, then releasing it.

A vowel sound that changes in quality during its production.

Speech sounds produced by bringing both lips together.

Speech sounds produced by using the tongue tip against the alveolar ridge.

Speech sounds produced by raising the back of the tongue to the velum.

The time difference between the release of a stop consonant and the onset of vocal fold vibration.

sudden release of airflow in stop consonants.

Cues used to distinguish voiced and unvoiced stop consonants.
