Abstract:
Non-modal voice (glottalization, breathiness, breathy voice)
is examined with respect to four speech functions: vowel-related
(word boundary), plosive-related, syllable-related (stod)
and paralinguistic, utterance-related (phrase finality and
truncation). The data are taken from 5 languages: German,
English, Italian, French, Danish. They are analysed as phonatory
prosodies in phrase-level phonetics and explained with reference
to general principles of speech production. Examples discussed in
this paper can be inspected as graphic signal and as sound output
