  Aspiration (phonetics)
In phonetics, aspiration is the strong burst of air that accompanies the release of some stop consonants.
Traditionally, they are still transcribed as , even though what distinguishes them from their "fortis" counterparts

is mainly their lack of aspiration.

However, such "voiced aspiration", also known as breathy voice or murmur, is less ambiguously transcribed with dedicated diacritics, either d̤ or dʱ.

 Articulatory Phonetics
While phonetics deals with how speech sounds are actually produced, transmitted and received in actual spoken language, phonology deals specifically with the ways those sounds are organized into the individual languages, hence dealing with abstractions on a virtual basis.
"From a phonetic point of view, [consonants] are articulated in one of two ways: either there is a closing movement of one of the vocal organs, forming such a narrow constriction that it is possible to hear the sound of the air passing through; or the closing movement is complete, giving a total blockage.
Articulatory phonetics is the branch of phonetics which studies the organs of speech and their use in producing speech sounds.

In this type of phonetic rule the object to the left of the arrow is a phonological segment input to a phonetics, and the environment is also a phonological description.
In the phonetics of these languages vocal cord and larynx adjustment is probably identical for consonants marked [voice] and [-voice] at the underlying level of the phonology in final position.
Rule 7 is however a universal phonetic rule and, unlike phonological rules, such phonetic rules cannot be simply omitted for particular languages: the rule describes an automatic coarticulatory effect explained by aerodynamic and mechanical laws which are independent of human behaviour.

Aspiration of voiceless stop consonants, in my opinion, is something that many non-native speakers miss when they speak english.
Normally I don't aspirate T's that come at the end of a word or syllable (parent, can't, set, late), but I do if they begin a word or syllable (tell, tame, material, tattoo).
I think the aspiration pattern for P's is similar to that of T's, Thomas.

 Linguistics Principles: Language Parts (Phonetics and Phonology)
The phonetic symbols in the IPA alphabet "have a consistent value unlike ordinary letters which may or may not represent the same sound in the same or different languages" [Fromkin and Rodman, 184].
Speech sounds are distinguished by a variety of factors: the state of the vocal cords, the volume of air used in voicing a single sound (aspiration), the manner of articulation, and even the place of articulation within the mouth, the head (nasal or oral), or the throat [Fromkin and Rodman, 210].
Phonetic features exist, similar to semantic features for words, and include voicing, nasality, labiality, continuance, and aspiration.

The statistics from the analyzed data indicate that of the various features under investigation (preceding V duration, aspiration duration and stop closure duration), the preceding vowel duration is not a determining factor in distinguishing coda /p/ from /s/, while, on the other hand, the duration of aspiration is normally longer with /s/ than with /p/.
Is the aspiration from glottal constriction or the approximation of articulators in a voiceless context?
We claimed that this tendency was evidence that either (1) phonology is not categorical and "aspiration" is not a binary process or (2) that phonology is categorical but phonetics does not feed directly from the output of phonology without being able to see any of the original input to the phonology.

 Voice onset time information - Search.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In phonetics, voice onset time, commonly abbreviated VOT, is the length of time that passes between when a consonant is released and when voicing, the vibration of the vocal cords, begins.
In Navajo, for example, which is strongly aspirated, the aspiration (and therefore the VOT) lasts twice as long as it does in English: 160ms vs. 80ms for [kʰ], and 45ms for [k].
Because neither aspiration nor voicing is absolute, with intermediate degrees of both, the relative terms fortis and lenis are often used to describe a binary opposition between a series of consonants with higher (more positive) VOT, defined as fortis, and a second series with lower (more negative) VOT, defined as lenis.

 A Reader in Nineteenth Century Historical Indo-European Linguistics: Linguistic-historical Change and the ...
The main difference between aspirates and spirants was found to be, that the aspirate was a stop (explosiva) with after-sounding, while the spirant is a continual sound (continua), produced not through the closure, but rather through the mere constricting of the speech organs.
All of these sounds, including the aspirates, are accordingly designated as contact sounds by the old grammarian and are quite expressly distinguished from the semi-vowels (j, r, l, v) and the breathed sounds (ûs̒mâ), to which h and the sibilants are ascribed.
For all fifteen sounds, which with the aspirates form one and the same class, there is no doubt of this contact; for also in the nasal consonants the actual speech organs are entirely closed and only the nasal passage remains open.

The abstract nature of the phonology implies firm boundaries to the segment, and a straightforward conversion from abstract to concrete (mental to physical) as phonetics realises the phonology.
In aspiration onset of voicing is delayed for 30 - 40 ms audible period.
Nor do phonetic features necessarily reflect the abstract segmental divisions of phonology, but tend to 'blur' across where a segmental boundary might be.
