Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of fundamental frequency (F
0
) on stop consonant voice onset time (VOT). VOT was measured from the recordings of 56 young men reading phrases containing all 6 English voiced and voiceless stops in word-initial position across high-, medium-, and low-F
0
levels. Separate analyses of variance for the voiced and voiceless stops revealed no significant main effect for F
0
for the voiced stops but a significant F
0
effect for the voiceless stops. Across the voiceless stops, productions at high F
0
s displayed significantly shorter VOTs than productions at low or mid F
0
s. The findings indicated that researchers must take into account the F
0
level at which voiceless stop VOT is measured.
