The Greek stop consonants [p/b], [t/d] and [k/g] were analysed in the vocalic context[o]. The durations of the consonantal occlusion, release and aspiration (if any) weremeasured, and spectral measurements were made of the consonantal release and thefirst two formants of the adjacent vowels. The results showed that the voicing of the occlusionas well as the durations of the occlusion and aspiration provide acoustic evidencefor voice and place of articulation oppositions. The occlusion duration of thevoiced stops was found to be significantly longer than that of their cognate voicelessstops and the distribution of the aspiration measurements showed structural differencesfor both the presence vs. absence of voicing, and the different places of articulation, i.e.velar>labial>alveolar.
