Subject:  phonetic differences between men's/women's speech

I am interested in finding literature on phonetic differences between
men's and women's speech.  I would be very grateful for appropriate
references. I am particularly interested in areas other than pitch
although I would appreciate those references as well.  I will be happy
to post a summary of material that is sent to me.

Many thanks,

Hank Rogers

Subject:  trills and accents

    I'm forwarding two questions from a phonetics student who is not
subscribed to LINGUIST:


(1)    Are there languages in which the alveolar trill and uvular trill
co-occur as separate phonemes?

(2) Are people who learn a foreign language after puberty necessarily doomed
to having a foreign accent due to influence from their mother tongue?


    Please reply to: Mia Shen at jaywalkk at yahoo.com.tw  I'll ask her to
summarize to the list if there are enough replies.

    Thank you!
