Vowel duration variation induced by coda consonant voicing and perceptual short/long vowel categorization in Czech
Original language description
It is possible that in Czech a vowel is consistently longer before a tautosyllabic voiced as opposed to voiceless obstruent. The main purpose of this study was to determine if this hypothesized variation interacts with the perception of vowel quantity. Two experiments were conducted that examined the effect of a voiceless vs. devoiced coda context and of a voiceless vs. voiced coda context on perceptual short/long vowel categorization. It was found that quantitatively ambiguous vowels were more likely to be perceived as short before a voiced coda than before a voiceless coda. It is concluded that vowel duration is indeed affected by coda voicing in Czech and that listeners are sensitive to this variation because they adjust the perception of vowel quantity accordingly.
