Phonation Type

<jats:p>Phonation types have been central to major topics in phonological theory, from questions about the internal structure of segments, to what should count as a segment in the first place, and to the role of phonetics in phonology. Phonation types are phonetically and phonologically related to other laryngeal and pharyngeal features (tone, tongue root, glottal consonants, registers), to the point where it can be hard even to distinguish phonation type as a separate type of contrast. I touch on these issues and provide readers with questions that I hope can be addressed in future work.</jats:p>
