This paper investigates how English words with word-medial voicing contrasts are produced by English and Korean speakers. A production experiment showed that while distinguishing the voicing contrasts of the word-medial consonants, both the English and Korean speakers relied on durations of the word-medial consonants as well as the preceding vowels. However, English speakers distinguished them more peculiarly by producing long vowels and consonants longer and short vowels and consonants shorter than Koreans did. In addition, the durations of the suffix vowels were in proportion to durations of the root vowels in both speakers’ productions. However, the English speakers produced the suffix vowels with creaky voice whereas the Koreans did not.
