Abstract
Consonant-intrinsic F0 (CF0) effects are mainly the result of raising F0 following voiceless obstruents, rather than of lowering F0 following voiced obstruents. However, there are also documented instances where lowered F0 following voiced obstruents is enhanced. Given that both voicing and F0 are affected by prosodic context, it is possible that CF0 is lowered in some contexts but not others. This possibility is investigated by examining CF0 in French and Italian in isolated citation forms. Results are comparable to carrier-phrase contexts, where no F0 lowering after voiced obstruents is observed. Possible sources of the apparent cross-linguistic differences are discussed.
