The report presents the findings of an experiment concerned with the perception of unreleased voiceless plosives (p, t, k) in English language. Two groups of listeners, one listening with earphones and another listening by means of loudspeakers were chosen for the experiment. Each hearer listened to each item of the material only once. The texts consisted of lists of separate words ending in unreleased voiceless plosives. It was found that correct identification of all the voiceless stops largely depended on the way in which the sounds were (re)produced and conveyed to the hearers. |
