On the phonetics of Cypriot-Greek geminate plosives

This research provides evidence toward the existence of geminates in Cypriot Greek (hereinafter, CyG).

Furthermore, durational differences amongst the three voiceless plosives for both VOT and closure duration were highly evident. To the researchers’ knowledge this is the first study on CyG stops that considers durational differences with respect to the place of articulation, not only for singletons but also for geminates. Preliminary statistical analysis suggests an effect of the vowel following the target segment, a fact that could facilitate in resolving the phonological representation of utterance initial geminates.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0001-4966</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1520-8524</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1121/1.4782284</identifier><identifier>CODEN: JASMAN</identifier><language>eng</language><ispartof>The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007-05, Vol.121 (5_Supplement), p.3169-3169</ispartof><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>207,208,314,776,780,27901,27902</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Christodoulou, Christiana</creatorcontrib><title>On the phonetics of Cypriot-Greek geminate plosives</title><title>The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America</title><description>This research provides evidence toward the existence of geminates in Cypriot Greek (hereinafter, CyG).
