The language has been shifting toward tonality and may have reached it, suggesting a conservative bias.
The phonetics of register in Takhian Thong Chong

The Chong language uses a combination of different acoustic correlates to distinguish among its four contrastive registers (phonation types). Electroglottographic (EGG) and acoustic data were…
The acoustic consequences of phonation and tone interactions in Jalapa Mazatec
- Linguistics, PhysicsJournal of the International Phonetic Association

This study investigates the acoustic and articulatory properties of phonation contrast in Shanghainese, the most thoroughly studied Chinese Wu dialect. Although previous studies generally suggest…
The Phonetics of Tone and Voice Quality Interactions in Sylheti

This paper examines the phonetic interactions of tone and voice qualities in Sylheti. Data from six native speakers are examined to understand the voice qualities of the vowels carrying contrastive…
Correlation between Sylheti tone and phonation

The canonical theories of tonogenesis distinguish voiced obstruents as the pitch suppressor of the following vowels whereas their voiceless counterparts are predicted to raise it (Yip 2004, Hombert…
Analysis of Breathiness in Contextual Vowel of Voiceless Nasals in Mizo
- Linguistics, PhysicsINTERSPEECH
- 2018
The values obtained for all the four acoustic measures suggest that vowels following voiceless nasals exhibit stronger acoustic characteristics associated with breathy phonation than vowel following voiced nasals.

Phonation types in production of phonological tone: the case of Green Mong

This study looks at the relative importance of phonation type in identifying tones in languages with a ‘mixed’ pitch/phonation tone system. Green Mong is a tone language with an inventory of 7…
Acoustic and perceptual investigation of breathy voice

Although breathy voice is typically characterized by an increase in spectral noise, it is notoriously difficult to devise a computational method to distinguish breathy from clear (modal) voice. The…

Results were extended to speakers with laryngeal pathologies and to conduct tests using connected speech in addition to sustained vowels to evaluate the effectiveness of acoustic measures in predicting breathiness ratings.

Stochastic prominence of the fundamental relative to the second harmonic is a very significant correlate of the breathy/normal distinction, as is the relative closed-phase duration.

Perceptual validation of the relative importance of acoustic cues for signaling a breathy voice quality has been accomplished using a new voicing source model for synthesis of more natural male and female voices.
Detailed spectral analysis of a female voice

Several thousand DFT magnitude spectra have been produced for a selected sample of speech from a single female speaker having a pleasant voice quality. The speaker sustained a number of different…
Relationships of vowel characteristics to listener ratings of breathiness.
- PhysicsJournal of speech and hearing research

Vowel duration may be as important as spectral characteristics of vowels when breathiness is judged from samples of connected discourse, and all vowel parameters were related significantly to the mean ratings.
The relative nature of voice quality

What is phonemic in one language may be pathological in another. This is especially true with respect to voice quality. In English, phonation which is either too breathy (with a large turbulent…
