History in the making: Voicing alternation as stop lenition via an automatic analysis of large-scale corpora in French and Spanish by Yaru Wu, Ioana Chitoran, Ioana Vasilescu, Martine Adda-Decker, Lori Lamel

“…The voicing nature of the stops (whether the stop is phonologically voiceless /ptk/ or voiced /bdg/) turns out to be the factor that contributes the most to the prediction of voicing alternations among all investigated factors for Spanish, according to the random forest model. Whereas for French, the same factor comes after contextual and acoustic factors in the ranking. …”
