Abstract
Q-CV is a quantized approach to segmental structure in which, following Q-theory, segments consist of subsegments called q-positions. Work in Q-theory has so far mainly addressed the representation of contour segments. Our aim is to explore whether this type of approach is also suitable for representing less marked segment types, in particular stops. We propose an additional level of structure, the CV-level, which constrains the order of q-positions and reduces the number of features. We show that an advantage of Q-CV is that stop contrasts, especially those involving laryngeal contrasts, can be represented in terms of differences in the relative timing of their oral and laryngeal articulations.
