“…As such, creak is most likely to occur at the end of the utterance domain (Garellek 2013;Klatt and Klatt 1990;Pierrehumbert and Talkin 1992;Redi and Shattuck-Hufnagel 2001). The effect of phrase-final creak appears to be quite universal cross-linguistically, as it has been widely reported among tonal languages as well (Esposito 2003;Garellek 2012;Kalita et al 2017;Kuang 2018).…”

“…Coda checkedness indicates the presence of a glottal stop or other glottalized stop at the end of the syllable. It has been attested in a wide range of languages, such as in Arabic (Kasim 2019), Assam Sora and Mizo (Kalita et al 2017), Athabaskan languages (Kingston 2005), Deg Xinag (Hargus 2016), Itunyoso Trique (DiCanio 2012), Maltese (Mitterer et al 2019), Northern Vietnamese (Brunelle and Kirby 2016), Taiwan Min (Pan 2017), Western Muskogean languages (Ulrich 1993), Yucatec Maya (Frazier 2013), etc.…”

The phonation variation in Shanghainese is influenced by both phonemic phonation contrast and global prosodic context. This study investigated the phonetic realization of checked and unchecked syllables at four different prosodic positions (sandhi-medial, sandhi-final, phrase-final, and IP-final). By analyzing both acoustic and articulatory voice measures, we achieved a better understanding of the nature of checkedness contrast and prosodic boundaries: (1) Different phonetic correlates are associated with the two laryngeal functions: The checkedness contrast is mostly distinguished by the relative degree of glottal constriction, but the prosodic boundaries are mostly associated with periodicity and noise measures. (2) The checkedness contrast is well maintained in all prosodic contexts, suggesting that the controls for the local checkedness contrast are rather independent of global prosody.
