Abstract
In this article the technical possibility of backward masking is explored. The experimental acoustic phonetic approach is followed. The objective is to see whether words, when they are heard backwards, give a coherent meaningful message. The characteristics of spoken language opposed to written language is discussed and it is shown that words are acoustically not their own mirror images when heard backwards.Especially the plosives and longer vowels get different sound qualities. In conclusion certain words and their meaningful counterparts are given and phonologically explained.
