This acoustic cue for a stop is longer in duration in voiceless stops and zero or close to in voiced stops in English.
What is voice onset time?
100
This acoustic cue serves to distinguish glides from vowels.
What is reduced amplitude?
100
This is the modification of the acoustic characteristics of adjacent speech sounds due to the influence of one speech sound on the other.
What is coarticulation?
100
This is changes in speech not restricted to a single phoneme or segment.
What is prosody or suprasegmentals?
100
This cue for stops would be completely silent in voiceless stops and corresponds with the closure phase of the stop.
What is a silent gap?
200
The burst characteristic of a stop that is a cue to an alveolar place of articulation.
What is diffuse rising?
200
This is the most important acoustic characteristic of English /r/.
What is low F3 frequency?
200
This type of coarticulation occurs when the following sound influences the preceding one.
What is anticipatory coarticulation?
200
This is the lack of intonation in an individual's speech.
What is monotone?
200
This acoustic cue is lengthened when two stops occur in succession.
What is the silent gap or closure?
300
During vowel production, tongue movement towards the velar place of articulation for a stop consonant will be seen as this.
What is a velar formant transition/velar pinch?
300
The three antinodes or areas of constriction are at these locations for English /r/.
What are the lips, palate, and pharynx?
300
This type of coarticulation occurs when a sound influences the sound directly following it.
What is carryover or perseverative coarticulation?
300
This type of intonation is a rising pattern where traditionally a falling pattern would be used.
What is uptalk?
300
This acoustic cue occurs in voiceless stops and also gets longer is duration the further back in the mouth the stop is produced.
What is voice onset time (VOT)?
400
In a voiced fricative, this acoustic cue as seen in the waveform may indicate the fricative is voiced.
What are voiced cycles?
400
Because nasals have air flowing only through the nose, they are most easily recognized by this acoustic characteristic in a spectrogram.
What is low resonant frequency?
400
A weak F1, F2, and/or F3 and a nasal formant are results of this type of coarticulation.
What is (vowel) nasalization?
400
This prosodic aspect of speech serves as a cue for voicing.
What is vowel duration?
400
The formant transition to this place of articulation is a downward movement of formants (easiest to see in F2).
What is a bilabial?
500
This acoustic cue distinguishes fricatives from affricates and will be steeper (faster) in affricates.
What is rise time?
500
The is the very low frequency band seen in a spectrogram for a nasal sound.
What is a nasal formant?
500
The differences in production between words like "see," "seed," and "seat" are due to the influence of this type of coarticulation.
What is syllable shape and consonant voicing?
500
This combination of intonation patterns can add different meanings to an utterance, such as a sense of reservation or politely correcting another person.
What is a fall-rise?
500
This is an important cue to fricative identity; in sibilants it is higher and in non-sibilants it is lower.
