Temporal organisation of segments and sub-segments in consonant clusters.

Christine Meunier

Consonant clusters are more often phonologically than acoustically described. We try to draw up an acoustic classification in order to analyse the general variability in clusters.Our aim, in the present study is to point out the temporal characteristics of each cluster class and to describe its internal segment organisation.

Keywords: Consonant clusters, Segments, Durations, boundary, assimilation, variation.
