Perceptual confusions among Swedish consonants in VC and CV syllables are investigated. The stimuli were produced by splitting natural VCCV utterances in two halves at various points in time. The initial and final stimuli so obtained were used for two separate listening tests. The perceptual errors associated with the various VC and CV stimuli of any given VCCV utterance are analyzed with respect to the manner, place, and voicing features of the intervocalic consonant. Explanations of these errors in terms of acoustic and linguistic properties of the stimuli are attempted.
