Topic: Glottal stop



  
 Conference Materials
The distribution of glottalization phenomena may differ between spontaneous and read speech: because of the formal recording context, read speech is produced more carefully, but may also be more fluent and lack disjuncture phenomena.
A database prepared from the corpora is automatically searched for relevant vowels, which undergo detailed auditory and phonetic analysis.
The 17000 vowels in this study are from the Kiel Corpora of Read and Spontaneous Speech, which contain high quality segmentally and prosodically labelled data.

 LINGUIST List 2.200: Initial Glottal Stop/Zero Contrast
In response to Bob Hoberman's query: Phonemic initial glottal stop before a vowel is not uncommon in Polynesian languages.
Bob Hoberman asks if there is a language in which glottal stop is in contrast with 0 in word initial position.
We came across exactly one word that begins with a vowel (with a null onset): /a.Bay/ 'which' (the /B/ is a voiced bilabial fricative, but the word can be pronounced [a.wey] in some phrases).

 L-C Symposium 4
Note that Tables 1 and 2 refer to the distribution of variants in prevocalic contexts, both within words and at word boundaries, and that glottalized variants are very frequent indeed in these contexts, particularly in the speech of men.
A lexical item that is glottalized in intra-utterance position will appear as fully released in pre-pausal or utterance-final position.
Bearing these different distributions in mind, we turn now to discuss a constraint on glottalization apparently peculiar to Tyneside which almost entirely inhibits the occurrence of glottal stops (or any glottalized form) in the coda in prepausal positions.

 Contextual Summaries of Selected Publications of Martin Rothenberg [rev
I consider the discovery of the principle of glottal source interaction with the inertive component of the vocal tract impedance, as detailed in NIF (with Steven Zahorian) and AI, to be my most important single contribution to voice research.
To support this hypothesis, a simple electrical analog was implemented consisting of a time-varying resistance (simulating the time-varying glottal flow resistance related to the instantaneous glottal area) and an inductor (simulating the vocal tract inertance).
Another novel feature of this paper is the method used to estimate subglottal pressure, developed after exploring the difficulties in implementing more intrusive methods.

 A be'er bi' a bu'er - attitudes towards the glottal stop in Modern Day Britain
Fabricious means that as accents are beginning to reflect new patterns of contact and levelling of previous class and regional differences in speech, it has become unfashionable to flaunt a priviliged background in the form of a public school accent.
Estuary English is one example of the "levelling of previous class and regional differences in speech" (2000: 10) that Fabricius mentions.
However, one might wonder why working class speech is stigmatised.

 Glottal stop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In many languages, the glottal stop is a full phoneme.
The best known example is the interjection "uh-oh".
A glottal stop often occurs between repeated vowels (for example Hawai‘i), but as the example ‘okina indicates, this is not the only place where a glottal stop may occur.

 Gweydr Phonology
The final class is the class for "hard" glottals.
Since this class is the most common, and since no word can begin with a vowel phonologically in Gweydr, this class will be marked in the romanization by nothing (for a word that begins with a glottal stop), or with an initial h.
An example of a word beginning with a "soft" glottal fricative is the word ĥaþl, "fog".

 Comments on Lesley Milroy, "Variation as an Interactional Resource"
Clearly the working class and the middle class women are doing something quite different with glottal stop, and the question is whether they've simply developed diverging rules, or whether they're actually doing something different interactionally.
By moving to the level of conversational structure, this analysis moves out of the segmental arena and into the social, while sticking close to the structurally accountable ground.
One might expect, if the use of glottal stop is spreading from medial to prepausal position, that there would be a constant relation across the population between the frequency of use of glottal stop in the two positions.

 Word-initial glottal stops
Word-initial glottal stops are predictable in Arabic; they occur, just as they do in English and many other languages, when the word starts with a vowel, except in ``weak'' environments that are also predictable.
Because only a word-initial unit will be selected for a word-initial context in synthesis, a glottal stop is never inappropriately generated in a prevocalic context, and this binding reduces the size of the unit database.
Although word-initial glottal stops were transcribed, they were collapsed with the following phoneme in the unit database.

Except on a handful of grammatical forms, like u 'at', i 'he, she, it', glottal stops are predictable on words written with initial vowels, just as they are in English or German, so the Bible orthography doesn't write them at all.
A glottal stop is implicit between any two adjacent vowels in a word, as in gaar 'to say', which has two syllables with a glottal stop in between.
People used to use the same device to indicate final glottals, as in pii 'to give', but the most recent Bible orthography now writes the final glottal with an apostrophe, thus pi'.
