This investigation reports on gemination in Tarifit Berber. It presents results of an acoustic investigation of singleton and geminate voiceless stops, produced in intervocalic position at a normal and fast speaking rate. They show that geminates are systematically produced with longer closure durations compared to singletons. Gemination, however, does not affect the duration of adjacent vowels, neither does it affect the duration of VOT. In addition, this contrast is shown to be resistant to increased speaking rate. Results are discussed in the light of X-ray data obtained in a previous companion study.
