A method of synthesizing stop consonants in CV syllables has been investigated. The data from a perception experiment have been analysed in such a way that the importance of various acoustic features for the perception of stops in front of each of twelve English vowels has been estimated. The results indicate that the conclusions of previous investigators, namely that formant transitions are the main cues for voiced stops and noise burst frequency for voiceless stops, are only partially true. For /d/ and /g/ the importance of the cues depends upon the quality of the following vowel.
