Theoretical achievements of phonetics in the 21st century: Phonetics of voice quality

“He sounds like a bureaucrat”: Variation of voice quality in stylistic performances

“…Variationists have benefited a lot from Laver's works and the Laryngeal Articulator Model (LAM) proposed by Esling et al (2019) as this model bridges articulation and auditory quality. However, it tends to classify voice quality as types, instead of treating them as varying gradients (Garellek 2022). Examining voice quality as dynamic variables enables us to avoid labels that have become strongly associated with variationist studies focusing on English, and allows us to understand its variability at different linguistic and discursive levels.…”

Utterance-Final Voice Quality in American English and Mexican Spanish Bilinguals

“…las vibraciones laringeas cesan casi al mismo tiempo que se forma el contacto linguodental, y además, la corriente espirada, preparando la pausa siguiente, suele ser tan tenue que de hecho la articulación resulta casi muda". 1 In contrast to the more limited work on phrase-final breath, phrase-final creak has been studied in detail, particularly for English; see recent discussions by Dallaston and Docherty (2020); Davidson (2020);and Garellek (2022). Creak, though commonly discussed in English, is also increasingly found in Spanish.…”

“…Changes in voice quality at the end of an utterance are attested in many languages. The reader is likely to be familiar with "phrase-final creak", also called "vocal fry" (especially in the singing pedagogy and clinical voice literature) among other names (Garellek 2022). Phrase-final creak refers to ends of phrases, especially utterances (Redi and Shattuck-Hufnagel 2001), that are produced with creaky voice or with creak so irregular that the "quasi-"periodic vibration assumed for voicing is called into question.…”

Phrase-final creak is common across varieties of English, but is also attested in other languages, including Spanish (Garellek 2022;González et al 2022).…”

Voice quality distinctions of the three-way stop contrast under prosodic strengthening in Korean*

“…To explore these possibilities, the present study investigates whether the three-way phonological contrast of word-initial stops manifest itself in the voice quality of the following vowel in Seoul Korean in prosodic strengthening environments. Spectral tilt has often been used to investigate voice quality across diverse languages (e.g., Garellek, 2022).…”
