From theCambridge English Corpus While medial and final fortis stops are up to four times longer thanlenisones,13 duration is neutralised in initial position. From theCambridge English Corpus Obstruents (stops, fricatives and affricates) were grouped intolenis, fortis and aspirated. From theCambridge English Corpus Duration measurements, though, show solid and consistent length differences, with fortis stops being almost three times as long aslenisones. From theCambridge English Corpus This paper, however, will limit the discussion to the postlexical application of the tensing rule between phonological words, and after alenisobstruent. From theCambridge English Corpus The result is that voiceless fricatives are inherently rather than derivatively fortis whereas, parallel to the voiced series of stops, voiced fricatives arelenisand only weakly or coincidentally voiced. From theCambridge English Corpus Fricatives include onlylenisand fortis distinctions. From theCambridge English Corpus Among obstruents,lenisis the most frequent. From theCambridge English Corpus Regardless of the variable phrasing, however, we have shown that what changes thelenisstop into a tense stop depends on how speakers intonationally phrase the sentence. From theCambridge English Corpus When the obstruction is released, the acoustic amplitude and vocal pitch of the following vowel becomes higher than forlenissounds due to the longer duration of stop closure. From theCambridge English Corpus These cross-linguistically attested patterns of partial or even full voicing in medial (specifically, intervoiced) position contrast sharply with the essentially voiceless realisation of the samelenisseries in initial position. From theCambridge English Corpus The targetlenisstop is in bold. From theCambridge English Corpus Thus, whether at the end of the word (4a) or at the end of a wordinternal syllable which is morpheme-final (4b), an underlyinglenis(' voiced ') obstruent emerges as fortis ('voiceless'). From theCambridge English Corpus In other dialects fortis consonants are realized as having greater duration than the correspondinglenisconsonant, invariably voiceless, vigorously articulated, and aspirated in certain environments.
