Lisker and Abramson (1964)

This research examines the voicing dimension in initial stops across multiple languages by measuring Voice Onset Time (VOT). Lisker and Abramson conducted experiments to compare VOT variations in English and Thai, providing acoustical measurements and spectrograms to visualize voicing categories. The study includes identification and discrimination functions for VOT stimuli, contributing to our understanding of phonetic patterns and cross-linguistic voicing. The findings have implications for phonetics and language processing, revealing how different languages handle voicing in speech.
