The variations of unaspirated stops /p/, /t/, /k/ were investigated
in spontaneous speech with the aim of (1) describing the variations
and (2) interpreting the variation for acoustic data in terms of articulation
and environment.
In this report, 56 sentences were selected through
the read speech corpus. The variations of unaspirated stops were analyzed
and perception experiment was done. The primary analysis was done for
voiced unaspirated stops. With the analysis, the classes of acoustic
variations were explored.
