Abstract Details

2021, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Cognitive Linguistics.
The present study generated a survey addressing potential gender attribution to creaky voice among self-identified transmasculine participants. This survey aimed to gauge the perceived masculinity and femininity of three vocal samples, as well as the perception of effort in the voices. Additionally, information about participants’ experience with and ideologies surrounding techniques of vocal masculinization was collected as a potential cause of perceptual differences among participants. The survey generated insights for future modifications to studies focusing on transgender individuals, specifically those within the transmasculine community. Considerations for future research and difficulties faced with the creation and conduction of the present study are discussed in detail.
