LINB09H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Vocal Fry Register, Vocal Tract, Implosive Consonant
Document Summary
Vocal folds are closed and no air can pass through. English does not contrast glottal stop phonemically. Far enough apart that air passes without causing vibration. Vocal folds vibrate, but much more air also passes through. One common configuration is with the vocal folds apart, but close enough to vibrate. Occurs during strong exhalation, vocal folds don"t vibrate properly. A breathy-voiced [ ] occurs intervocallically in english. Ipa diacritic for breathy voice is [ ] for vowels; for obstruents, a superscript [ ] can be used. Some langs have breath voiced stops (sometimes called voiced aspiration) Breath nasals: same phonological property that results in breath stops can result in breathy nasals; that are often partially voiceless. Arytenoids are tightly closed, only part of the vocal chord vibrates. Low pitched vibration, may occur utterance-finally as pitch drops. Ipa diacritic for creaky voice is [ ] do not confuse with nasalization.
