Abstract
Obstruents are phonemes which require partial or total obstruction of airflow through the vocal tract. Their articulation also requires adjustments of the laryngeal settings, e. g., an abduction gesture to stop vocal fold vibration for voiceless obstruents. This study investigated the laryngeal settings during the production of voiced and voiceless obstruents in vowel context to analyze the degree of synchrony of the involved glottal gestures. High-speed laryngoscopy images were used to determine the glottal area waveform, from which the time functions of the parameters open quotient (OQ), fundamental frequency ( f0), and AC and DC amplitude (ACA and DCA) were calculated and analyzed. Significant correlations were found between all pairs of parameters, with strong correlations between some of them, e.g. Open Quotient and AC Amplitude. Correlations were also either consistently positive or negative for specific pairs of parameters across all investigated phonemes. These results could point to consistent patterns in laryngeal gestures that could enhance articulatory speech synthesis.
