Voice onset time and vowel quality in Madurese
The role of gender and dialect
Madurese exhibits a three-way laryngeal contrast in its plosive inventory, distinguishing voiced, voiceless
unaspirated, and voiceless aspirated plosives. Previous studies have investigated some acoustic characteristics of the contrast
but have not examined possible dialectal variation in this contrast. The present study aims to discuss the contrast by examining
Voice Onset Time (VOT) and vowel quality (F1). Twenty participants (10 Western Madurese speakers and 10 Eastern Madurese speakers)
were recruited and instructed to read 150 Madurese words containing plosives. The results showed that an interaction of dialect
and gender were significantly correlated with VOT: male Western Madurese speakers produced shorter VOT for voiced and voiceless
aspirated plosives than their Eastern counterparts. There was also variation in F1 between gender across dialects: male Western
Madurese speakers produced [ə] with a lower F1 than their Eastern counterparts. It was suggested that the variation was possibly
due to language contact with Javanese.
