Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study conducted a contrastive acoustic analysis of American English flaps and Japanese flaps. The major findings of the study include the following three points, which have not been recognized in previous studues: (1)The Japanese flap gets devoiced; (2) the American English flap is similar to the Japanese flap in occlusion duration and devoicing, and (3) the American English flap and the Japanese flap are dissimilar to the American English lateral liquid, which is longer in duration than the first two, and it rarely gets devoice.
