Abstract

![CDATA[We present an acoustic analysis of voice onset time (VOT) and closure duration (CD) of all six English oral stop consonants in word-initial position, as produced by 4-5- and 9-11-year-old monolingual Australian English-speaking children. Results showed that both groups of children produced a clear voicing contrast at all places of articulation, with longer VOTs and shorter CDs for voiceless than for voiced stops. VOT and CD were inconsistently used by both groups to distinguish between bilabials and non-bilabials but not between alveolars and velars. No significant differences in VOTs and CDs were observed between age groups.]]
