Understanding the role of prosody in encoding linguistic meaning and in shaping phonetic
form requires the analysis of prosodically annotated speech drawn from a wide variety of …

Recent research has suggested that some long vowels exhibit a constraint on voiceless
coda induced shortening in Australian English. This constraint has the potential to …

In the process of phonological development, fricatives are generally assumed to be later
acquired than stops. However, most of the observational work on which this claim is based …

Understanding the development of spoken language in young children has become
increasingly important for advancing basic theories of language acquisition and for clinical …

This study examines the effects of input quality on early phonological acquisition by
investigating whether interadult variation in specific phonetic properties in the input is …

Abstract English has multiple potential acoustic cues to coda stop voicing, including the
duration of the preceding vowel, the coda closure duration, and, in some varieties …

This study investigates whether the earliest words children choose to say are mainly words
containing sounds they can produce (cf.'phonological dominance'hypotheses), or whether …

This study examined the emergence of the phonetic variants (often called allophones) of
alveolar phonemes in the speech production of 2-year-olds. Our specific question was: Does …

The early acquisition of language-specific temporal patterns relative to the late development
of speech motor control suggests a dissociation between the representation and execution …

Glottalisation functions as a cue to coda stop voicelessness in many varieties of English,
occurring most commonly for alveolar stops, although varieties differ according to the context …
