    According to the influential continuum model of phonation, only voiced segments can be specified as creaky or breathy. The present study investigated many possible phonetic correlates of the laryngeal contrast in Javanese word-initial prevocalic stop consonants, drawing upon a spoken corpus of more than 180,000 utterances. The results indicate that the laryngeal contrast is cued by voice onset time (VOT) and several acoustic-phonetic properties of the following vowel, including the first formant (F1) in addition to voice source measurements such as H1*-H2* and cepstral peak prominence (CPP). Taken together these findings indicate that Javanese stops can be both voiceless and breathy, supporting a revision of the continuum model in which voicing and other aspects of phonation are decoupled.
