Abstract

This paper investigates acoustic features correlated with voicing (VOT, stop dura-tion, closure duration, release duration, voicing into closure duration, duration of preceding vowel and duration of following vowel) and with the place of articulation (spectral peaks) of stop consonants /p, b, t, d, k, g/. A corpus with these stops in ini-tial, medial and final word position was recorded for six native speakers of European Portuguese.
