	Voiceless postalveolar fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The voiceless palato-alveolar fricative or domed postalveolar fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.
		The voiceless postalveolar fricative occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letters 'sh' in shoe, the letters 'ssi' in passion, or the letters 'ti' in donation.

	Voiceless dental plosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its phonation type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
		It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.
		The voiceless dental plosive does not occur in English, at least as spoken by native speakers, but is similar to the sound of the letter 't', except the tongue is touching the back of the teeth and not the alveolar ridge.

	Voiceless dental fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The voiceless dental fricative is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages.
		Native speakers of those languages sometimes have difficulty enunciating or distinguishing it, and replace it with a voiceless alveolar fricative or a voiceless dental plosive.
		The voiceless dental fricative occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the 'th' digraph in thing and bath.

	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.

	Table 2: Phonological Processes - Caroline Bowen
		A velar consonant, that is a sound that is normally made with the middle of the tongue in contact with the palate towards the back of the mouth, is replaced with consonant produced at the front of the mouth.
		The fricative consonants 'sh' and 'zh' are replaced by fricatives that are made further forward on the palate, towards the front teeth.
		A fricative consonant (/f/ /v/ /s/ /z/, 'sh', 'zh', 'th' or /h/), or an affricate consonant ('ch' or /j/) is replaced by a stop consonant (/p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ or /g/).

		The resulting sound is modified by movements in the vocal tract, by the volume of the airflow and by the degree of constriction of the folds.
		A voiced consonant is a sound made as the vocal cords vibrate, as opposed to a voiceless consonant, where the vocal cords are relaxed.
		The main distinction between the pairs of English stop consonants, however, is not voiced vs. voiceless since English /b d g/ may be voiceless in certain dialects.

	Pronounciation of Old Norse
		Double consonants followed by a vowel are pronounced double, hence the KK in drekka is pronounced as in bookkeeping.
		When final or followed by another consonant in the same syllable, double consonants are pronounced long, being more than a single consonant yet not the repitition of the full double one.
		F in the initial position, or when followed by a voiceless consonant, is voiceless, as in English fat.

		This consonant dimension is known as place of articulation; we will see later that the place of articulation is also relevant when there isn't a complete closure of the vocal tract.
		The place of articulation for this consonant is one we didn't encounter for English stops; it is the second of the possible places associated with the lips (in addition to bilabial place of articulation).
		For nasal consonants, the air is allowed to pass through the nasal cavity, but it also resonates in the oral cavity, and the place of articulation (within the oral cavity) distinguishes different nasal consonants from one another.

		The voiceless labial-velar fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its place of articulation is labial-velar which means it is articulated both with the lips and with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the velum).
		The voiceless labial-velar fricative occurs in English dialects that distinguish between the words which and witch; it is the sound denoted by the letters wh.

		Dentals, alveolar and postalveolar consonants use the same symbols except for fricatives: if necessary, diacritics can be used to mark them apart; the standard version is alveolar (though in my opinion, the approximant used to mark the English ‘r’ (lowercase turned r, number 151) is distinctly postalveolar, even slightly retroflex).

	E. Russell Webb: Voice alternation as passive lenition: R in French
		This is meant to reflect the phonetic properties of voiced and voiceless sounds; during pulmonic egression, voicelessness is maintained by a wide or spread glottis, a gestural effort impeding the vibration of vocal folds.
		In the case of intervocalic fricatives, a voiceless fricative implies greater articulatory effort, as the glottis must be spread in the environment of voiced sounds in order to avoid a change in sub-glottal pressure, by which the passive adduction of vocal chords (and their subsequent vibration) would occur.
		When the stop is voiceless, the glottis is abducted prior to (in the case of fricative-stop) or remains abducted after (in the case of stop-fricative) oral closure is achieved; when the stop is voiced, the glottis either adducts prior to closure or remains adducted after release.

		The glottal stop is made by briefly adducting the vocal folds, while for the stop consonant, the vocal folds are abducted.
		The data shown in the figure are the maximum air flow during each glottal period, plotted for the 12 last periods during the vowel preceding the consonant, and for the 25 first periods during the vowel following the consonant.
		The different glottal adjustments for the two consonants are clearly reflected in the patterns of change in the maximum flow.

		Proposal: raising of the diphthong is conditioned by a voiceless consonant in the coda.
		Initial single consonants of an unstressed syllable are ambisyllabic and hence condition raising (note that this is the same environment that conditions flapping as well).
		Initial consonants of a consonant cluster in stressed syllables are ambisyllabic, and hence also condition raising (they cannot be considered purely in the coda of the preceding syllable, because the /t/ in “nitrate” undergoes palatalization and affrication in dialects which have that, distinguishing it from “night rate.”)

		That is, it is assumed that a voiceless consonant + front semivowel (in the case of Williams), a voiceless consonant + /(/ (in the case of Lloyd), or just /(/ (in the case of Bourciez) develops directly to /t(/.
		Furthermore, there is a definite acoustic/perceptual similarity between the voiceless palatal liquid [((] and the voiceless palatal fricative [(], and it is quite plausible that [((] might be interpreted as the articulatorily simpler [(], perhaps aided by markedness considerations and developmental physical articulatory constraints of child language learners.
		He argues that the voiceless consonant of these clusters merged with the palatal lateral, giving [t(] as a result, though this is merely stipulated.

	Proto-Indo-European Phonology
		Each consonant in PIE-0 can be placed in a slot in a 9 x 5 matrix, places of articulation along one axis and type of consonant along the other.
		Voiced stops occurred in somewhat more restricted environments than voiceless stops: they did not normally occur before other stops or fricatives (except across morpheme boundaries, where they may have developed by forward assimilation to another voiced consonant).
		It is thus clearly possible to have a sound system in which voiced aspirates are very common, while their voiceless counterparts are marginal at best.

		Although the underlying consonant is either voiced or voiceless, the surface word-final consonant for both pairs of stimuli is always voiceless ([t]).
		If the listener uses a surface representation with a voiceless consonant to recognize the words, there should be no difference in categorization of the vowel-length continua.
		The results of a vowel categorization task, however, showed a significant difference in the location of the phoneme boundaries between the two continua, suggesting that listeners' perception seems to be guided by the underlying phonological representation of words.
