The paper discusses the temporal behavior of all measurable consonants, detailed in all possible conditions, in an extensive reading by one speaker. The data indicate a strong parallelism in duration distributions among similar kinds of consonants, and interesting similarities and differences between different kinds of consonants in terms of phoneme-sequential constraints and higher-level linguistic factors.
