Abstract
Several studies state that the duration of the vowel preceding the consonant is a significant cue to the voicing characteristic of that consonant. The CVC's used in these studies have generally been prepared on the Pattern Playback. The present study was designed to examine vowel duration as a consonant voicing cue in naturally produced speech. Several CVC's were recorded by both authors as stressed citation forms. Vowel durations were measured and parts were removed from: the endmost section of the vowel, the middle of the vowel, or the end and the middle of the vowel. At least for these stimuli produced by these speakers, no clear relation is seen between the length of the preceding vowel and the perception of the voicing characteristic of the final consonant.
