Abstract
The contribution of release burst cues to the perception of stop manner and place of articulation was investigated in a fixed [s-læt] context. Truncated natural [p], [t], and [k] bursts of variable intensity were preceded by variable silent intervals. The truncated bursts, though spectrally distinct, conveyed little specific place information but contributed significantly to the perception of stop manner by reducing the amount of silence needed (relative to a burstless stimulus). Burst amplitude was a cue for both manner and place; higher amplitudes led to more “t,” lower amplitudes to more “p” responses. The silent closure interval, a major manner cue, emerged also as the primary place cue in this situation: short intervals led to “t,” long ones to “p” responses. [Research supported by NICHD.]
