mately 70 ms. Just before the stop closure is made, one can detect a very short (approximately 10 ms) period of dental friction. v h Figure 4–9. Subj.

CK: […som] sticker [ut] ‘…which juts out’ In CK’s production of the same word, modal voice offset occurs approximately 40 ms before full voice offset. The glottis seems to spread more rapidly at the beginning of the preaspiration than in the case of FS. The time lag between full voice offset and stop closure is approximately 20 ms, and consists mostly of dental friction. The total preaspiration duration is thus approximately 60 ms. These two cases are fairly typical
of FS’s and CK’s productions of word-medial fortis stops that occur after stressed mid or open vowels in content words. h p Figure 4–13. Subj. FS: […en] tupp [ungefär] ‘…another one, a…’ Figure 4–15.

MP: […andr]a udde på [andra…] ‘…other tip on the other…’ When preceded by a close, front vowel, preaspirations in CSw are characterised by palatal or postalveolar friction. In Figure 4–11, FS produces the word ytterligare ‘another, additional,’ in which a close vowel is followed by a dental stop. There is a time lag of approximately 30 ms between modal voice offset and full voice offset, most of which is characterised by breathy voice. Just before full voice offset occurs, the
