TL;DR: The paradox raised is that although prevoicing is the most reliable cue to the voicing distinction for listeners, it is not reliably produced by speakers.

TL;DR: The intelligibility data were considered in relation to various temporal-acoustic properties of native English and Mandarin-accented English speech in effort to better understand the properties of speech that may contribute to the interlanguage speech intelligibility benefit.

TL;DR: Untrained listeners identified 18 different whispered initial consonants significantly better than chance in nonsense syllables and the phonetic features of place and manner of articulation and, to a lesser extent, voicing were correctly identified.
Abstract: Whispering is a common, natural way of reducing speech perceptibility, but whether and how whispering affects consonant identification and the acoustic features presumed important for it in normal speech perception are unknown. In this experiment, untrained listeners identified 18 different whispered initial consonants significantly better than chance in nonsense syllables. The phonetic features of place and manner of articulation and, to a lesser extent, voicing, were correctly identified. Confusion matrix and acoustic analyses indicated preservation of resonance characteristics for place and manner of articulation and suggested the use of burst, aspiration, or frication duration and intensity, and/or first‐formant cutback for voicing decisions.

TL;DR: Results find both a quantity and a voicing effect on vowel durations, though these two effects differ as to how they interact with stress and focus.
