The Phonetics and Phonology of the Timing of Oral and Glottal Events

Abstract

During voiced stops, the larynx is lowered to expand the oral cavity -to facilitate voicing -, while during voiceless stops the larynx remains relatively high in the neck.Hombert, Ohala, and Ewan (1979) argue that lowering the larynx during a voiced stop reduces the vertical tension on the vocal folds and thereby lowers the fundamental fre-• quency of the following vowel.This work examines the con tribution of vertical movement of the larynx to the manipu lation of intraoral air pressure during the articulation of ejectives and to the perturbation of the fundamental fre quency of neighboring vowels.While writing a dissertation, one feels quite alone, iirmersed so deep in the problems one is working out that external events are only sensed dimly, if at all.It is only once the work is done that it becomes possible to real ize that the work couldn't have gotten done without consid erable help from others.I'd like to thank them here.
