Question

The term “dyscravia” was coined in a 2010 paper by Gvion and Friedmann for a type of dysgraphia centered around this quality. When not realized as a glottal stop, Danish stød (“sturh”) manifests as a phonemic contrast between types of this quality. Aside from the checked tone, the other three tones in Burmese are each accompanied by a different realization of this quality. In certain contexts, high vowels in Japanese can (*) lose this quality, particularly in words like masu and desu. Rather than using this quality itself, most varieties of English distinguish between stops at the same place of articulation by the “onset time” of this quality. (10[1])In most speech, this quality is called “modal,” but can also be realized as “breathy” or “creaky.” For 10 points, identify this quality given to speech sounds by the vibration of the vocal folds. ■END■
