Regarding the interplay of several acoustic cues, Francis et al. [7] studied English simultaneous variation and cue weighting in the stop voicing distinction.
The stimuli used in our perception experiments were designed to exclude the burst cue (i.e. to exclude both burst and voicing onset time cues) to examine the influence of voicing maintenance and durational cues on stop voicing distinction.
In summary, this study constitutes new evidence that, in the absence of a facilitating burst, multiple acoustic cues are used and combined with different cue weighting to obtain a stable stop voicing distinction for EP.
However, examining the interplay and cue weighting of other acoustic cues was not the focus of this study; but based on other languages, burst and VOT have an important effect on stop voicing distinction [2, 6, 36].
In the heat of the moment of a police stop, that distinction could be lost on an officer scanning the record while maneuvering his quarry to a stop, says one prosecutor.
