1 LPL - Laboratoire Parole et Langage

This study shows taht the intelligibility of whispered speech could be supported, at least in part,(1) by maintaining the voicing contrast at the phonetic level where a C[+voice] could be produced by noisy laryngeal source and a C[-voice] by a laryngeal silence; (2) by increasing the intensity of speech, e.g. the articulatory frication noise, by a vocal effort without any laryngeal forcing.
