0 one of the speech sounds or letters of the alphabet that is not a vowel. Consonants are pronounced by stopping the air from flowing easily through the mouth, especially by closing the lips or touching the teeth with the tongue. -- 辅音；辅音字母
On those the majority preferred single consonant spellings for the first, fourth and seventh, and double consonants for the rest.
Some languages not only allow for word-final consonants but command their presence.
Conversely, the identity hypothesis makes it possible to dissociate the acceptability of identical consonants from their similarity.
The change in the rating procedure makes it possible to assess the generality of the restrictions on identical consonants.
While failure to detect liaison consonants may seem attributable to higher-level factors, partial evidence was found for both autosegmental and exemplar-based models of phonology.
They are words that have partial or complete reduplication of consonants and\or vowels and do not contain any consonant clusters.
For example, variables based on place and manner of articulation applied only to 0t,d0 tokens adjacent to a consonant.
The co-occurrence of identical consonants thus presents the limiting case of a more general stochastic constraint on perceived similarity.
