Figure 4.

Hypothetical events for mid-frequency stop consonants ∕ka∕ and ∕ga∕. The multiple panels in each subfigure are $\stackrel{⃞}{1}$ AI-gram. A dashed vertical line labels the onset of voicing (sonorance), indicating the start of the vowel. The solid and dashed rectangular boxes indicate the dominant and minor events, respectively. The ellipses denote the conflicting cues that cause the confusions. $\stackrel{⃞}{2}$ CPs as a function of truncation time t_n. $\stackrel{⃞}{3}$ CPs as a function of SNR_k. $\stackrel{⃞}{4}$ CPs as a function of cutoff frequency f_k. $\stackrel{⃞}{5}$ AI-grams of the consonant region (defined by the solid vertical lines on panel $\stackrel{⃞}{1}$) at −12, −6, 0, 6, 12, and 18 dB SNRs.
