Differences in coda voicing trigger changes in gestural timing: A test case from the American English diphthong /aɪ/.
Journal of Phonetics 2016 May
We investigate the hypothesis that duration and spectral differences in vowels before voiceless versus voiced codas originate from a single source, namely the reorganization of articulatory gestures relative to one another in time. As a test case, we examine the American English diphthong /aɪ/, in which the acoustic manifestations of the nucleus /a/ and offglide /ɪ/ gestures are relatively easy to identify, and we use the ratio of nucleus-to-offglide duration as an index of the temporal distance between these gestures. Experiment 1 demonstrates that, in production, the ratio is smaller before voiceless codas than before voiced codas; this effect is consistent across speakers as well as changes in speech rate and phrasal position. Experiment 2 demonstrates that, in perception, diphthongs with contextually incongruent ratios delay listeners' identification of target words containing voiceless codas, even when the other durational and spectral correlates of voicing remain intact. This, we argue, is evidence that listeners are sensitive to the gestural origins of voicing differences. Both sets of results support the idea that the voicing contrast triggers changes in timing: gestures are close to one another in time before voiceless codas, but separated from one another before voiced codas.
