Stop consonant place perception with single-formant stimuli: evidence for the role of the front-cavity resonance.
The third formant and the second formant were found on average to cue the place of articulation of intervocalic stop consonants equally well when the stop consonants occurred before the vowel/i/. This result and others provide some support for the notion that the fundamental resonance of the front cavity plays an important role in the perception of the phonetic dimension of place of articulation.
