Abstract
This study explores short-term respiratory volume changes in German oral and nasal stops and discusses to what extent these changes may be explained by laryngeal-oral coordination. It is expected that respiratory volumes decrease more rapidly when the glottis and the vocal tract are open after the release of voiceless aspirated stops. Two experiments were performed using Inductance Plethysmography and acoustics, varying consonantal properties, loudness, and prosodic focus. Results show consistent differences in respiratory slopes between voiceless vs voiced and nasal stops, which are more extreme in a loud or focused position. Thus, respiratory changes can even occur at a local level.
