Phonetic Variation in Hungarian /t/
Phonetic Variation in Hungarian /t/

Summary/Abstract: According to their traditional phonetic definition, voiceless alveolar stops are unaspirated in Hungarian. The voiceless period following their release, however, seems to contain turbulent noise components, similarly to the case of stops identified as aspirated in other languages. The goal of this investigation was to describe the acoustic-phonetic patterns of burst and post-burst voiceless period of Hungarian /t/-realizations. The results show that many of these stops can be considered as slightly aspirated.
