Geminates vs. Singleton Stops in Berber :
An Acoustic, Fiberscopic and Photoglottographic study
Résumé
This article examines the oral and glottal
adjustments, as well as their coordination, during the
production of singleton and geminate voiceless stops
in Berber using fiberscopy, photoglottography and
acoustic analyses. Acoustically, closure duration of
geminates is longer than singletons. VOT, on the
other hand, does not contribute to the distinction of
length. At the glottal level, voiceless stops are
realized with a glottal opening covering both the
closure portion and the aspiration portion. Geminates
and singletons differ in terms of timing and size of
glottal opening. Geminates have a larger and longer
glottal opening than singletons. The interval between
peak glottal opening and oral release is significantly
higher for geminates than for single stops.
