Simultaneous recordings of voice and cricothyroid activity during speech production by one speaker of Hindi were made. The subject produced utterances containing stops, affricates, and fricatives. All utterances were embedded in carrier sentences. The results show markedly higher levels of cricothyroid activity for the voiceless stops, affricates, and fricatives than for their voiced cognates. This suggests that the cricothyroid may play some role in maintaining voiced versus voiceless contrast in consonant segments. It does so at least in this subject.
