The Acoustic Differences Between the Oral and Glottal Stop Codas in Chaozhou Dialect
The distribution and the change of oral and glottal stop codas have generated much dis-cussion in the study of Chinese dialects,yet there has been relatively limited research conducted on the acoustic differences between these two types of coda.This paper compares the acoustics of the oral and glottal stop codas of the Chaozhou dialect,and their influences on preceding vowels.The results show that they are significantly different in terms of variation distribution,temporal structure,vowel formants and phonation.This paper also discusses the phonetic underpinning for the structural differ-ences between the rhymes ended with oral and glottal stops in the Southern Min dialect,and proposes new perspectives on the phonetic details of the historical development of stop codas.
