| Abstract | Beginning with the publication of Lisker and Abramson’s (1964) landmark paper, it has become conventional to assign the Voice Onset Time (VOT) of a prevocalic stop consonant to one of three categories commonly found in the natural languages of the world: (1) voicing lead (approximately -30 ms. or more VOT); (2) zero onset/short-lag (approximately 0 to +30 ms VOT); and (3) long-lag (approximately +50 ms or more VOT). In general, these categories of VOT correspond, respectively, to the phonetic description of stop consonants as (1) voiced, unaspirated, (2) voiceless, unaspirated, and (3) voiceless, aspirated. |
