The aim of the present thesis is to contribute as much as possible to the limited knowledge
about the phonetics and phonology of Cypriot Greek (CyGr) geminates by examining the …

The theory of relational acoustic invariance claims that there are stable acoustic properties
in speech signals that correspond to a phonological feature, and that the perception system …

This study examined whether vowel onset intervals in Japanese disyllables can serve as a
reliable timing unit in Japanese. Duration of vowel onset intervals was measured in …

Payne (2005) argues that fake geminates are longer than true geminates and Ridouane
