Abstract
Context dependency in the perception of final Hindi plosive consonants and distinctive features have been investigated as a function of the nature of adjacent sounds. VCC utterances comprising of 3 short vowels (/I/,/A/,/U/), two medial consonants (/s/,/I/) and 16 plosive consonants in the final position were recorded by 6 male speakers and heard by 10 listeners. Confusion matrices for final consonants were made separately for each medial consonantal context and analysed according to various feature systems using co-variance method of information transmission. It bas been found that voicing and aspiration are very much affected by the nature of preceding consonants. The results have been compared with earlier observations and discussed.
