Abstract
Peak values of air flow rate were obtained for the productions of plosive and affricate consonants in CVCVC nonsense utterances embedded in the carrier phrase, “ye-hae” by three normal adult speakers of Hindi. Air flow values for these consonants were found to be generally higher for stressed position when compared to unstressed position. Aspirated stops showed substantially higher air flow rates than their unaspirated counterparts. Magnitudes of air consumption for voiced versus unvoiced stops under unaspirated conditions were quite similar, whereas under aspirated conditions the magnitudes were somewhat variable. These results suggest that the rate of oral air flow for various stop consonants depends on the condition of the glottis at or immediately after the release of articulatory occlusion (assuming that subglottal respiratory activity for these stops is uniform).
