(13) Descriptive autority analyses of continuous texts in German have shown that word-final alveolar plosives are frequently assimilated to following labials and velars.

(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.
