abstract = {Obstruents are phonemes which require partial or total obstruction of
airflow through the vocal tract. Their articulation also requires adjustments of the
laryngeal settings, e. g., an abduction gesture to stop vocal fold vibration for voiceless
obstruents. This study investigated the laryngeal settings during the production
of voiced and voiceless obstruents in vowel context to analyze the degree of synchrony
of the involved glottal gestures. High-speed laryngoscopy images were
used to determine the glottal area waveform, from which the time functions of the
parameters open quotient (OQ), fundamental frequency ( f0), and AC and DC amplitude
(ACA and DCA) were calculated and analyzed. Significant correlations
were found between all pairs of parameters, with strong correlations between some
of them, e.g. Open Quotient and AC Amplitude. Correlations were also either consistently
positive or negative for specific pairs of parameters across all investigated
phonemes. These results could point to consistent patterns in laryngeal gestures
that could enhance articulatory speech synthesis.},
