Effects of Glottalisation, Preceding Vowel Duration, and Coda Closure Duration on the Perception of Coda Stop Voicing

Abstract

English has multiple potential acoustic cues to coda stop voicing, including the duration of the preceding vowel, the coda closure duration, and, in some varieties, glottalisation. Glottalisation associated with coda stops appears to be a recent change to Australian English (AusE) with younger speakers using glottalisation more than older speakers in production. Here we report on a study designed to examine AusE-speaking listeners’ perception of cues to coda stop voicing. Listeners were presented with audio stimuli in which preceding vowel duration, coda closure duration, and the relative proportions of the rhyme that these occupy were manipulated and co-varied with the presence or absence of glottalisation. The results show that listeners used preceding vowel duration to cue coda stop voicing, and that coda closure duration was a weaker cue to voicing when not varied in conjunction with preceding vowel duration. In addition, glottalisation facilitated increased perception of coda voicelessness, even when paired with very long preceding vowels, which otherwise signal coda voicing. Although age-related differences in production have previously been reported, we found that both older and younger listeners used glottalisation similarly in perception. These results may provide support for a sound change led by a shift in perception.

Appendix B
Fig. B1: Note this figure illustrates results of source voiceless tokens. Proportion of voiced responses to vowel duration manipulation (left panel), coda closure duration manipulation (middle panel), and C/V ratio manipulation (right panel). Grey lines represent older speakers; black lines represent younger listeners. Solid lines represent non-glottalised condition; dashed lines represent glottalised condition. For the vowel duration and coda closure duration manipulations, duration increases from step 1 to step 9. For the C/V ratio manipulation, the proportion of the rhyme occupied by the vowel increases from step 1 (where it is equal with coda closure) to step 9 (where it dominates the rhyme).
