In the lecture video for VOT, there is initially a mention of how [b] has a negative VOT (attachment 1) and towards the end while comparing VOTs b/w languages [b] is said to have 0 VOT for English but negative for Spanish (attachment 2). I wanted to check if [b] actually has 0 VOT for English so, I used Praat for the word “bat” and got a voice bar before the burst. Doesn’t this indicate that b has negative VOT for English as well?
