The word "phonation" in example sentences

Creaky voice also called laryngealisation, pulse phonation or, in singing, vocal fry or glottal fry, is a special kind of phonation in which the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together; as a result, the vocal folds are compressed rather tightly, becoming relatively slack and compact, and forming a large, irregularly vibrating mass. ❋ Ann Althouse (2007)

They have an air sac that may function as a buoyancy device, for air storage during diving, or for "phonation" (Kelly 1988). ❋ Unknown (2010)

And it can also result in some other types of anomalies including cleft lip or palate, abnormalities of speech or phonation, and in some patients, even development of learning differences or learning difficulties. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Using sophisticated examinations, the researchers found that the obese individuals exhibited several distinct modifications in voice feature, including hoarseness, murmuring, vocal instability, altered jitter and shimmer, and reduced maximum phonation times as well the presence of voice strangulation at the end of emission. ❋ Unknown (2009)

As a recap, I had come to a couple of major revelations on PIE that diverge from the "mainstream" but problematic view:One: The unlikely phonological system can finally be rationalized by turning palatal stops to plain ones and plain stops to uvular ones while shifting phonation to a contrast between creaky and plain voice rather than plain versus breathy. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I find this implausible and unnecessary2 and I have already settled on laryngealization ie. creaky phonation, with derivative word-internal pre-laryngealization, as a superior alternative to wholesale preglottalization in all environments. ❋ Unknown (2010)

As regional bilingualism would eventually lead to a single dominant dialect, it seems to me that this would produce new Late IE dialects in those regions located outside of the "Late IE epicenter" within which breathy stops or vowels were replaced with locally more familiar modal phonation ie. substratal influence. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Speech and singing involve four major functions: breathing, phonation, resonance and articulation. ❋ Ewillett (2007)

Keep in mind that in my phonological model of PIE, only traditionally "breathy voiced" stops exhibit uninterrupted voicing throughout the phoneme while "plain stops" are reinterpreted with marked phonation, creaky voice ie. interrupted voice. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I also feel that PIE's plain voiced stops were still creaky while the aspirated voiced stops only had plain phonation at the time that the language was fracturing into the familiar dialects. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Furthermore, there are IE dialects that suggest that *dh was still modal rather than breathy, otherwise we would have to propose that phonation shift pushed the two phonemes foward to breathy and back again! ❋ Unknown (2008)

Tropylium: "Proto-Uralic has no voice distinction whatsoever and can thus hardly be used to debunk any specific phonation." ❋ Unknown (2008)

Maybe I should add for completeness, that if Grassman's Law surfaced already during this hypothetical common "phonation shift" between Proto-Hellenic and Proto-Indo-Iranian, then forms like Greek títhēmi would have to be explained as resulting from analogical pressures that forced *d to devoice along with *dʰ in the underlying post-Grassman's-Law form, *dídʰehmi. ❋ Unknown (2008)

There doesn't seem to be a motivation for breathy phonation until the ejectives become creaky and start pushing the other voiced series to the breathy end of the phonation spectrum. ❋ Unknown (2008)

So it's as simple as this: Breathy phonation is necessarily a post-IE feature. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Try another interpretation: During phonation shift, the modal *d of the onset phonemicized as *dʰ according to traditional theory remains modal while the second stop shifts to "breathy". ❋ Unknown (2008)

I have a whole bunch of things to say about the Indo-European stop system, phonation and the presence of Aegean Etruscoid languages in Anatolia, after recent comments by Phoenix triggered a synaptic explosion in my cerebral cortex. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Continued from Winter's Law in Balto-Slavic, "Hybrid Theory" and phonation - Part 1 ❋ Unknown (2008)

Instead, let's ponder on the possibility that *d was not merely "semi-voiced" but also had a marked phonation. ❋ Unknown (2008)
