Faucalized voice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Faucalized voice, also called hollow or yawny voice, is the production of speech sounds with an expanded laryngeal cavity. It contrasts with harsh voice, in which the larynx is compressed.

There is no symbol for faucalized voice in the standard IPA. Diacritics seen in the literature include the strong articulation diacritic ([a͈]) of the Extended IPA. In the Extended IPA itself, the symbol for faucalized voice is Ħ, as in [aĦ].

A well known language with faucalized voice is Korean, with its "tense" consonants. The entire vocal tract is tense, and the occlusion lasts longer than other consonants. For this reason they are often called fortis. There also appears to be elements of stiff voice in the Korean consonants, though faucalized voice is not yet well enough described to know how common this is.
