It is well-recognized that the voiceless alveolar stop undergoes many phonological phenomena due to its phonetic property. Nevertheless, glottaling in American English where the voiceless alveolar stop loses its place feature and thus weakens has seldom been examined. This paper sheds light on patterns of t-glottaling in American English based on the Buckeye Corpus of Conversational Speech. Results indicate that glottaling occurs very frequently in American English surpassing other relevant phonological processes such as oral plosion, nasal plosion and deletion. However, phonological environments, the gender and age factors hardly exert an influence on realizations of the voiceless glottal stop. Finally, this paper contends that such a frequent pattern results from stepwise consonant lenition by which consonant strength is weakened so that ease of articulation is sustained as other types of English weakening such as degemination, flapping, spirantization and deletion clearly illustrate
