Laryngeal Adjustments in the Production of Voiceless
Obstruent Clusters in Berber

Résumé

Laryngeal adjustments in voiceless obstruent clusters in Tashlhiyt Berber were examined by
means of simultaneous transillumination, fibre-optic films and acoustic recordings. This language
allows a rich variety of voiceless clusters naturally. Several combinations of /s/ and /k/
clusters including singleton and geminate consonants were examined. We focused on the
number of glottal-opening gestures, the influence of manner of articulation and effects of
word boundaries. Results of this study provide evidence that the manner of articulation of
segments and their position in the clusters have a major impact both on the number and on
the location of glottal abduction movements. Word boundaries did not influence laryngeal
adjustment to the same extent.
