The Importance of Spectral Detail in Initial-Final Contrasts of Voiced Stops

Coker, C. H.; Umeda, N.

Journal of Phonetics, 3, 1, 63-68, Jan 75

Spectral compositions of voiced initial stops reveal that these consonants are longer in intensity than those in medial or final position. In final stops the vocal cords are more closed than they are in initial stops and oscillation is richer. (SC)
