TL;DR: The authors used discriminant analysis to combine the five spectro-temporal variables measured from sound spectrograms of these productions to categorize the tokens as voiced or voiceless in each condition.

TL;DR: Data regarding voicing percentages, F(0), and dB SPL provide critical insight into teachers' vocal health and should be the focus of future studies.
Abstract: Purpose In this study, the authors created a more concise picture of the vocal demands placed on teachers by comparing occupational voice use with nonoccupational voice use. Method The authors used...

TL;DR: The point of view is that the auditory system responds to sound with different acoustic properties in distinctive ways, and that these special responses play an important role in selection and classification of the inventory of sounds that are used in language.
Abstract: Some of the acoustic properties that distinguish one speech sound from another are reviewed. The point of view is that the auditory system responds to sounds with different acoustic properties in distinctive ways, and that these special responses play an important role in selection and classification of the inventory of sounds that are used in language. Examples of several of these acoustic properties are discussed and illustrated, including the presence or absence of rapid spectrum change, abruptness of amplitude change, voicing and aspiration, and gross spectral properties relating to place of articulation for consonant and vowels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of Spanish-English bilinguals in two perception tasks, using a synthetic speech continuum varying in voice onset time, was compared with Spanish and English monolinguals.
Abstract: The performance of Spanish-English bilinguals in two perception tasks, using a synthetic speech continuum varying in voice onset time, was compared with the performance of Spanish and English monolinguals. Voice onset time in speech production was also compared between these groups. Results in perception of bilinguals differed from that of both monolingual groups. Results of bilingual production in their two languages conformed with results obtained from each monolingual group. The perceptual results are interpreted in terms of differences in the use of available acoustic cues by bilingual and monolingual listeners of English and Spanish.
