href="/wiki/Phonetics" title="Phonetics">phonetics</a> and <a href="/wiki/Phonology" title="Phonology">phonology</a> to characterize <a href="/wiki/Speech_sound" class="mw-redirect" title="Speech sound">speech sounds</a> (usually <a href="/wiki/Consonant" title="Consonant">consonants</a>). Speech sounds can be described as either <a href="/wiki/Voicelessness" title="Voicelessness">voiceless</a> (otherwise known as <i>unvoiced</i>) or voiced. </p><p>The term, however, is used to refer to two separate concepts: </p> <ul><li>Voicing can refer to the <i>articulatory process</i> in which the <a href="/wiki/Vocal_folds" class="mw-redirect" title="Vocal folds">vocal folds</a> vibrate, its primary use in <a href="/wiki/Phonetics" title="Phonetics">phonetics</a> to describe phones, which are particular speech sounds.</li> <li>It can also refer to a classification of speech sounds that tend to be associated with vocal cord vibration but may not actually be voiced at the articulatory level. That is the term's primary use in <a href="/wiki/Phonology" title="Phonology">phonology</a>: to describe <a href="/wiki/Phoneme" title="Phoneme">phonemes</a>; while in <a href="/wiki/Phonetics" title="Phonetics">phonetics</a> its primary use is to describe phones.</li></ul> <p>For example, voicing accounts for the difference between the pair of sounds associated with the English letters <a href="/wiki/Bracket#Uses_of_⟨_⟩" title="Bracket">⟨s⟩</a> and ⟨z⟩. The two sounds are transcribed as <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[s]</span> and <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[z]</span> to distinguish them from the English letters, which have several possible pronunciations, depending on the context. If one places the fingers on the voice box (i.e., the location of the <a href="/wiki/Adam%27s_apple" title="Adam's apple">Adam's apple</a> in the upper throat), one can feel a <a href="/wiki/Oscillation" title="Oscillation">vibration</a> while [z] is pronounced but not with [s].

The difference is best illustrated by a rough example. </p><p>The English word <i>nods</i> is made up of a sequence of phonemes, represented symbolically as <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/nɒdz/</span>, or the sequence of <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/n/</span>, <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/ɒ/</span>, <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/d/</span>, and <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/z/</span>. Each symbol is an abstract representation of a phoneme. That awareness is an inherent part of speakers' mental grammar that allows them to recognise words. </p><p>However, phonemes are not sounds in themselves. Rather, phonemes are, in a sense, converted to phones before being spoken. The <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/z/</span> phoneme, for instance, can actually be pronounced as either the <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[s]</span> phone or the <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[z]</span> phone since <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/z/</span> is frequently devoiced, even in fluent speech, especially at the end of an utterance. The sequence of phones for <i>nods</i> might be transcribed as <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[nɒts]</span> or <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[nɒdz]</span>, depending on the presence or strength of this devoicing. While the <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[z]</span> phone has articulatory voicing, the <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[s]</span> phone does not have it. </p><p>What complicates the matter is that for English, consonant phonemes are classified as either voiced or voiceless even though it is not the primary distinctive feature between them. Still, the classification is used as a stand-in for phonological processes, such as vowel lengthening that occurs before voiced consonants but not before unvoiced consonants or vowel quality changes (the sound of the vowel) in some dialects of English that occur before unvoiced but not voiced consonants. Such processes allow English speakers to continue to perceive difference between voiced and voiceless consonants when the devoicing of the former would otherwise make them sound identical to the latter. </p><p>English has four pairs of <a href="/wiki/Fricative" title="Fricative">fricative</a> phonemes that can be divided into a table by <a href="/wiki/Place_of_articulation" title="Place of articulation">place of articulation</a> and voicing. The voiced fricatives can readily be felt to have voicing throughout the duration of the phone especially when they occur between vowels. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Voicing contrast in English fricatives via <a href="/wiki/Minimal_pair" title="Minimal pair">minimal pairs</a> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Articulation </th> <th>Voiceless </th> <th>Voiced </th></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the lower lip against the teeth: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[f]</span> (<i><b>f</b>an</i>) </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[v]</span> (<i><b>v</b>an</i>) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the tongue against the teeth: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[θ]</span> <i>(<b>th</b>in, <b>th</b>igh)</i> </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ð]</span> <i>(<b>th</b>en, <b>th</b>y)</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the tongue near the gums: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[s]</span> (<i><b>s</b>ip</i>) </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[z]</span> (<i><b>z</b>ip</i>) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the tongue bunched up: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ʃ]</span> <i>(Confu<b>ci</b>an)</i> </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ʒ]</span> <i>(confu<b>si</b>on)</i> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>However, in the class of consonants called <a href="/wiki/Stop_consonant" class="mw-redirect" title="Stop consonant">stops</a>, such as <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/p,<span class="wrap"> </span>t,<span class="wrap"> </span>k,<span class="wrap"> </span>b,<span class="wrap"> </span>d,<span class="wrap"> </span>ɡ/</span>, the contrast is more complicated for English. The "voiced" sounds do not typically feature articulatory voicing throughout the sound. The difference between the unvoiced stop phonemes and the voiced stop phonemes is not just a matter of whether articulatory voicing is present or not. Rather, it includes <a href="/wiki/Voice_onset_time" title="Voice onset time">when voicing starts</a> (if at all), the presence of <a href="/wiki/Aspirated_consonant" title="Aspirated consonant">aspiration</a> (airflow burst following the release of the closure) and the duration of the closure and aspiration. </p><p>English voiceless stops are generally <a href="/wiki/Aspirated_consonant" title="Aspirated consonant">aspirated</a> at the beginning of a stressed syllable, and in the same context, their voiced counterparts are voiced only partway through. In more narrow <a href="/wiki/Phonetic_transcription" title="Phonetic transcription">phonetic transcription</a>, the voiced symbols are maybe used only to represent the presence of articulatory voicing, and aspiration is represented with a superscript <i>h</i>. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Voicing contrast in English stops </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Articulation </th> <th>Unvoiced </th> <th>Voiced </th></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the lips closed: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[p]</span> (<i><b>p</b>in</i>) </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[b]</span> (<i><b>b</b>in</i>) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the tongue near the gums: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[t]</span> (<i><b>t</b>en</i>) </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[d]</span> (<i><b>d</b>en</i>) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the tongue bunched up: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[tʃ]</span> (<i><b>ch</b>in</i>) </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[dʒ]</span> (<i><b>g</b>in</i>) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Pronounced with the back of the tongue against the palate: </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[k]</span> (<i><b>c</b>oat</i>) </td> <td><span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ɡ]</span> (<i><b>g</b>oat</i>) </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>When the consonants come at the end of a syllable, however, what distinguishes them is quite different. Voiceless phonemes are typically unaspirated, <a href="/wiki/Glottalization" title="Glottalization">glottalized</a> and the closure itself may not even be released, making it sometimes difficult to hear the difference between, for example, <i>light</i> and <i>like</i>. However, auditory cues remain to distinguish between voiced and voiceless sounds, such as what has been described above, like the length of the preceding vowel. </p><p>Other English sounds, the vowels and sonorants, are normally fully voiced. However, they may be devoiced in certain positions, especially after aspirated consonants, as in <i>c<b>o</b>ffee</i>, <i>t<b>r</b>ee</i>, and <i>p<b>l</b>ay</i> in which the voicing is delayed to the extent of missing the sonorant or vowel altogether. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Degrees_of_voicing">Degrees of voicing</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Voice_(phonetics)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Degrees of voicing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are two variables to degrees of voicing: intensity (discussed under <a href="/wiki/Phonation" title="Phonation">phonation</a>), and duration (discussed under <a href="/wiki/Voice_onset_time" title="Voice onset time">voice onset time</a>).
