Wiik (1997a) assumes that the aspirated plosives (traditionally symbolised as ph, th, kh, bh, dh, gh) were actually pronounced with friction in the place of articulation. On the other hand, a change in stimulation site could be recognized over the shorter durations of consonants [105] and was thus appropriate for transmitting the frequency shifts seen in the consonants characterized as plosives (/b/, /d/, /g/, /p/, /t/, /k/) and nasals (/m/, /n/, /ng/). Pop filters eliminate the plosives in your speech like P''s, B''s and D''s. |
