| Abstract | The study investigated the possible interaction between VOT values associated with aspirated
stops produced at six different lexical tones (high falling, high rising, mid level, mid-low falling,
mid-low rising and mid-low level) in Cantonese. A total of 27 male Cantonese speakers were
recruited and they were instructed to read phrases containing targeted CV syllables formed by
the aspirated Cantonese stops (/ph/, /th/, and /kh/) and the vowel /a/ at the six tones. VOT analysis
revealed that, across aspirated stops, tones in the upper tone register produced shorter VOT while
those in the lower tone register had longer VOT values. In particular, mid-low rising tone showed
the longest VOT than all other tones. This finding indicated an interaction between VOT and
tone during Cantonese stop production is confirmed. |
