(7) For normally hearing subjects shortening the silence duration of an intervocalic voiceless plosive induces a misperception of voicing.
(8) This study investigated the perception of voicing of an intervocalic plosive for a natural speech sample "aka" as a function of occlusive silence duration for normally hearing and hearing-impaired subjects.
(9) Other verbal characteristics including plosiveness were also important.
(10) Articulatory dysfunction was characterized as plosives tend to be misunderstood as nasals or affricates.
(11) In a second experiment the influence of silent intervals on the identification of plosives was analysed increasing the artificial silent interval in 10 ms steps from 0 ms to 120 ms in speech stimuli like schal thus producing stahl for the 120 ms silent interval.

(13) Descriptive autority analyses of continuous texts in German have shown that word-final alveolar plosives are frequently assimilated to following labials and velars.
(14) The stimuli were obtained from the two naturally produced originals by changing the ratios and the length of voicing in the plosive through computer processing.
(15) In the 75 dB SPL recording, the levels of voiceless fricatives, nasals and plosives were significantly lower than in the 60 dB SPL recording.
(16) Articulation proficiency was compared in four phoneme categories: nasals, plosives, fricatives and affricates.
(17) The signals were six broadband noises whose spectral shapes were modeled after the spectra of unvoiced fricative and plosive consonants.
(18) the plosives and the short consonants disappear first; next follow the other consonants, whereas vowels remain intelligible at a 100 msec.
(19) Medium and long pauses, long duration, prologned closure (i.e., long duration plosives), and adventitious transitional sounds had a lesser negative effect.
(20) The results show that the identification of deleted initial voiceless plosives is greatly improved by the addition of noise.
