Question
Larger positive values of this quantity correspond to particularly strong aspiration. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this linguistic quantity, which measures when the vocal folds begin to vibrate in the production of a stop consonant. A value close to 0 for this quantity means that the consonant is tenuis.
ANSWER: voice onset time [or VOT]
[10e] While voice onset time gives precise values, consonants in this most prominent system for linguistic transcription are instead classified as either voiced or voiceless, with a diacritic for aspiration.
ANSWER: International Phonetic Alphabet [accept IPA]
