GLOTTALIZATION REFERS TO THE PRONUNCIATION OF /t/ as a glottal stop, Glottalization is a type of lenition in which the oral gesture of a stop is removed. It is a common phonetic evolution for oral stops to develop a glottal point of articulation. Two common sources are /t/-glottalization (where /t/ is produced as a glottal stop and/or with creaky voice, as in “button”) and phrase-final creak. Both /t/-glottalization and phrase-final creak have similar acoustic properties, but they can co-occur in English. The goal of this study is to determine whether /t/-glottalization and phrase. In American English, the presence of creaky voice can derive from distinct linguistic processes, including phrasal creak (prolonged irregular voicing, often at edges of prosodic phrases) and coda /t/ glottalization (when the alveolar closure for syllable-final /t/ is replaced by or produced simultaneously with glottal constriction).
