The Effect of Context on Voice Onset Time
الملخص
Voice onset time (VOT) is reduced when English /p,t,k/ are preceded by
initial /s/ before a vowel, which results in a loss of the aspiration of /p,t,k/.
The present paper attempts to test this phenomenon in Mosuli Arabic. The
three voiceless stops /p,t,k/ are examined in two contexts: initially and when
preceded by /s/. Words containing these stops were recorded and analyzed
spectrographically and the VOT was measured for each stop initially and
when preceded by /s/. The results of the study show that the VOT values of
the voiceless stops do not show the difference noted in English; the context
did not have a statistically significant effect on the VOT values.
