Abstract

This paper addresses context-dependent asymmetries between the perception and production of consonant length in three distinct languages: Russian, American English, and Italian. These asymmetries are argued to present evidence of the perceptual advantage for consonant length identification in certain phonetic environments and play an important role in defining the crosslinguistic distribution of long consonants across different contexts.
