What does whispering mean in general?
• sounds "soft" • less amplitude• no difference in meaning between a
whispered and a "normal" sound• a speech variant across all languages• no special IPA symbol for whispered
sounds
How to Find Out the Distinction Method of Analysis

• recorded with cool edit
• converted into spectrograms by Praat

Formants• more "red dots" in normal speech
• formants at a lower frequency only in normal speech
• more acoustic energy in normal speech
