Stop consonant production has been shown to vary with speaker’s sex, but cross-language developmental studies are lacking to explain how sex-specific speech patterns come about independent of a specific-language context. In this research, I examined English- and Mandarin-speaking children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 to determine cross-language similarities and differences via measuring the voice onset time (VOT) of their stop productions. VOT of word initial /t/ and /d/ in Mandarin, and /t, d, p, b, k, g/ in English was measured and normalized by vowel and word duration to control for speech rate. An overall sex difference was found for both languages. This difference was much more robust in Mandarin than in English. Developmental trends and cross language comparison suggest that males and females utilize VOT for gender-specific production to varying degrees in different culture.
