In the discussion, participants explore the relationship between glottal width and stress in speech sounds. It is posited that during stressed sounds, the glottis is more open, while in unstressed sounds, it is narrower. The difficulty in perceiving unstressed sounds in English is highlighted, with a suggestion that the narrower glottis contributes to this challenge. Participants are encouraged to share their research findings on this topic, indicating a collaborative effort to understand the mechanics of glottal function in relation to stress and unstress in speech.

Is that correct: in stress sound the glostis is more open and in unstress sound the glostis more narrow?

What research have you done to find the answer? What have you found?
 
I am very difficult to hear unstress sounds in English. I guess unstress sounds is made when glotis is more narrow.
