  Glottal consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.
However, the glottal stop at least behaves as a typical consonant in languages such as Tsou.
Often all vocalic onsets are preceded by a glottal stop, for example in German.

 Glottal stop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The glottal stop is the sound made when the vocal cords are pressed together to stop the flow of air and then released, and is the sound in the middle of the interjection uh-oh.
In Dutch, the glottal stop is not phonemic, but it is inserted in multi-morphemic words before morphemes that begin with a vowel, for example beamen ("to endorse"), where the glottal stop may be inserted after the prefix "be-".
The fact that the glottal stop does not change the main meaning of the word is evidenced by its (variable) occurrence in forms where it is historically secondary, and mainly concentrates the form in the information structure of the sentence, e.g.

 Glottal stop
The glottal stop or voiceless glottal plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
The glottal stop is the sound made when the vocal cords are pressed together, and is the sound in the middle of the interjection uh-oh.
In German and Dutch, glottal stop is not phonemic, but it is inserted in multi-morphemic words before morphemes that begin with a vowel, such as German Beamter (="civil servant") or Dutch beamen (="to endorse"), where the glottal stop is inserted after the prefix "be-".

 Glottal Volume Velocity Waveform During Loose and Tight Voiced Glottal Adjustments
This air flow during the most closed portion of the glottal cycle, when the waveform is relatively flat, is probably due to an incomplete closure of the vocal folds posteriorly, between the arytenoid cartilages.
The traces show the inverse-filtered glottal volume velocity waveforms during a cyclic glottal closing movement at the intervocalic word boundary between ‘banana’ and ‘apple’ during the phrase ‘banana apple apricot ice cream’, as spoken by a native speaker of American English.
If you mean the zeros in the glottal wave spectrum, as described some time ago by Flanagan, then the answer is that we remove the poles due to the vocal tract and leave the zeros associated with the glottal waveform.

 International Phonetic Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The letters chosen for the IPA are generally drawn from the Latin and Greek alphabets, or are modifications of Latin or Greek letters.
There are also a few letters derived from Latin punctuation, such as the glottal stop ʔ (originally an apostrophe, but later given the form of a "gelded" question mark to have the visual impact of the other consonants), and one, [ʕ], although Latin in form, was inspired by Arabic letter <ﻉ> `ain.
The ejective symbol is often seen for glottalized but pulmonic sonorants, such as [mʼ], [lʼ], [wʼ], [aʼ], but these are more properly transcribed as creaky ([m̰], [l̰], [w̰], [a̰]).

 A new inverse-filtering technique for deriving the glottal air flow waveform during voicing
In the method discussed in this paper, the glottal volume velocity waveform during non-nasalized and slightly nasalized vowels is obtained by inverse-filtering the volume velocity waveform at the mouth (oral volume velocity) instead of the pressure waveform.
The simulated glottal pulses shown in Figure 8 were formed by a sequence of slots in the rotating disk having a variety of shapes and spacing.
This decay of formant frequency energy during the open phase of the glottis is, at least in part, attributable to the increase in the damping of the resonances of the (glottal-supraglottal) vocal tract that occurs when the glottis opens [14, 15].

 Modelling of voice quality correlates
The quality of the voice depends on the degree of tension in the larynx and pharynx, and on the vertical displacement of the larynx: a raised larynx produces a thin tense voice, and a lowered larynx a booming voice.
Glottal pulse shape: Glottal pulse shape solely is the most important aspect of speech in the way it affects our perception of voice quality.

Glottal stops are quite common in English and many other languages.
I didn't see the show, but what may have been meant is that the suspect's glottals were exaggerated in a manner that suggested non-native use.
A glottal stop is when you stop the air (for a moment) at the glottis (the very back of your throat) so no sound occurs.

I don't know of any systematic way to distinguish their cap-height capital glottal stop from what we now have as a caseless U+0294 glottal stop -- because, frankly, I don't think that issue ever occurred to the people who were using it and creating fonts for it.

 Vocalist - Glottal Attack - www.vocalist.org.uk
During the swallowing action, it is covered by an erect cartilage at the root of the tongue known as the 'Epiglottis'.
'Glottal Stop' is the sound produced by the sudden explosive release of breath from behind the closed glottis and the term 'Glottal Attack' describes the percussive pulse from vocal cords as in a slight grunt.
Similar to a religious chant, this technique is performed using a soft glottal attack (SGA) along with a recorded voice or the therapist, who gradually introduces normal speech as the patient progresses.

The poems in glottal stop are mostly from Celan’s later work, many translated for the first time.
In the brokenness and jaggedness of his poems he rejects transfiguration strenuously—some lines consist of one half or scrap of a word, split so that the rest falls onto the next line ("her im/-mortal self-sick/song") —and insists on his right to say exactly what he means.
Despite the fact that the poems in Glottal Stop have undeniable force before annotation, some of their force is inextricable from our knowledge of history, both general and specific to Celan.

The differences are caused by a change in the excitation pulse.
