It has been acknowledged that voice onset time (VOT) behaves as an important phonetic
cue for voicing categorization typically in (word-initial) prevocalic position. The value of VOT …

Researchers have studied voice onset time (VOT) in a number of languages but there is a
scarcity of research on the acquisition of VOT of English, particularly by adult Saudi learners …

It is widely accepted that vowels are longer before voiced consonants than before voiceless
ones in many languages (such as English). However, neither voiced-voiceless stop …

This research investigates the effect of the acquisition of English voice onset time (VOT) by
early Japanese English bilinguals on their production of the Japanese counterparts in L1 …

Voice onset time (VOT) and first-formant (F1) transition characteristics are both important
phonetic cues for voicing categorization of pretonic stops in English. These cues also covary …

Recent studies have shown that the stop system of Korean is undergoing a sound change in
terms of the two acoustic parameters, voice onset time (VOT) and fundamental frequency …

This comparative case study uses voice onset time (VOT) to scrutinize whether an English-
speaking native Arabic speaker may create a unique phonetic category for their L2. Many …

This chapter describes voice onset time (VOT) research that focuses on the acquisition of
Spanish as a non‐native language. A brief overview of Spanish stop consonants is provided …

Although research on foreign language learning among seniors has recently accelerated,
studies on L2 phonology in this age group remain scarce. Seniors may be at a great …

Abstract Voice Onset Time (VOT) is considered as one of the best methods for examining the
timing of voicing in stop consonants and has been applied in the study of many languages …
