TL;DR: The finding that the articulation rate of a carrier sentence, that is, the rate at which the speech itself is produced, influences how the duration information is used to assign voicing values is replicated, and more importantly, the assignment of voicing values was also influenced by the pause rate of the sentence.
Abstract: In two studies we investigated the way in which the components of speaking rate, articulation rate and pause rate, combine to influence processing of the silence-duration cue for the voicing distinction in medial stop consonants. First, we replicated the finding that the articulation rate of a carrier sentence, that is, the rate at which the speech itself is produced, influences how the duration information is used to assign voicing values. Second, and more importantly, the assignment of voicing values was also influenced by the pause rate of the sentence. Thus, the listener adjusts for both articulation rate and pause rate when processing the phonetically relevant information. Finally, the two rate components did not function in an equivalent manner, since changes in articulation rate had considerably more effect on phonetic judgments than did changes in pause rate. Alternative explanations fo the relative weighting of the two variables are discussed.

TL;DR: An analysis of the relationship between sonorancy and voicing is presented based on a theory of segmental structure which recognizes the possibility that voice may not be a unitary phenomenon and proposes that voicing has two distinct realizations.
Abstract: In this paper we present an analysis of the relationship between sonorancy and voicing based on a theory of segmental structure which recognizes the possibility that voice may not be a unitary phenomenon. We propose that voicing has two distinct realizations. One is through the activation of laryngeal features and the other is spontaneous voicing. We propose that sonorants involve a node which represents spontaneous voicing and that this may also be present in obstruents. We adopt the term SV for this node (see also Piggott 1989). We thus view spontaneous voice as distinct from laryngeal features, sharing the general position of Stevens & Keyser (1989) who state that "voice might be classed as a manner feature" separate from the laryngeal features which deal with laryngeal configurations. An advantage of the feature geometry that we propose in this paper is that it allows an account of sonorant-sonorant interactions, as sonorant features such as [nasal] and [lateral] are both dominated by the SV node. A further advantage is that we are able to shift the burden of explanation from the rule component to the representational component. By recognizing two types of voicing, we eliminate the use of redundancy rules in the specification of voice for sonorants as a method of accounting for phonological processes.

TL;DR: Using a neuroelectric event-related potential paradigm, numerous effects indicating bilateral components reflecting the voicing and place contrast and unique right hemisphere discrimination of both voiced and place of articulation are found.
