Phonological representation in two laryngeal systems
Abstract: In this talk, we’ll be discussing an experimental design for testing a phonological representation model by Avery and Idsardi (2001). The model links an abstract laryngeal dimension with surface vocal fold gestures and predicts that cross-linguistically, the phonological representations of voicing can be categorized based on the status of these gestures.
