Voiceless consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In phonetics, a voiceless consonant is a consonant that doesn't have voicing. That is, it is produced without vibration of the vocal cords. Voiceless obstruent consonants are usually articulated more strongly than their voiced counterparts, due to the fact that in voiced consonants, the energy used in pronunciation is split between the laryngeal vibration and the oral articulation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Voiceless_consonant   (145 words)

Fundamental frequency, amplitude envelope and voiceless-ness as auditory supplements to the lipreading of connected ... Voiceless excitation was only represented in the absence of laryngeal vibration, so that mixed excitation was represented only by the pulse signal. The voiceless noise signal was then mixed with the voicing pulses, and the combined signals were lowpass filtered at 5 kHz. The amplitude envelope for both voiced and voiceless speech was derived by fullwave rectifying the broadband speech signal and smoothing the result using a 30 Hz, 24 dB/octave lowpass filter. www.phon.ucl.ac.uk /home/shl9/andyf/faulkner.htm   (2182 words)

Encyclopedia: Voiceless   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) English and most related languages maintain phonation as an important distinction between consonants, with almost every voiced consonant having a corresponding voiceless one and vice versa. It is also notable that in English voiceless plosive are usually aspirated while voiced plosives are not. Mandarin Chinese has pairs of aspirated and unaspirated voiceless plosives and aspiration is the main distinction rather than phonation. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Voiceless   (394 words)

Voiced Plosives Remember that in English, the voiceless stops /ph/, /th/, and /kh/ are aspirated unless they occur in certain predictable environments. Unaspirated voiceless plosives and voiced plosives are in complementary distribution in these cases: one group does not invade the other's turf. The trouble starts where a voiceless plosive is not aspirated in an environment where we would expect it to be aspirated, or where voiced plosives have more aspiration than normal. cslu.cse.ogi.edu /tutordemos/SpectrogramReading/cse551html/cse551/node37.html   (822 words)

Ejectives in Babine/Witsuwit'en Glottalized Consonants   (Site not responding.

Reconstructing PIE Phonology The problem was that both voiceless and voiced fricatives appeared medially between vowels, and the choice between voiceless fricatives, on the one hand, and voiced fricatives, on the other hand, appeared to be entirely random. In the other daughter languages, the voiceless aspirates and plain voiceless stops have the same treatment, except that *kh appears to have became x in a small number of examples in Slavic -- however, these examples are better explained as borrowings from Iranian rather than as due to regular developments in Slavic. Current thinking on the part of a great many linguists is that the series of voiceless aspirates reconstructed by Brugmann and other Neogrammarians for the Indo-European parent language should be removed, being secondarily derived in the individual daughter languages. www.utexas.edu /cola/depts/lrc/iedocctr/ie-ling/ie-phon-Bomhard.html   (3387 words)
