This study investigates apparent-time variation in the production of anticipatory nasal coarticulation in California English. Productions of consonant-vowel-nasal words in clear vs casual speech by 58 speakers aged 18–58 (grouped into three generations ...

Lexically Mediated Compensation for Coarticulation Still as Elusive as a White Christmash
Abstract Luthra, Peraza‐Santiago, Beeson, Saltzman, Crinnion, and Magnuson (2021) present data from the lexically mediated compensation for coarticulation paradigm that they claim provides conclusive evidence in favor of top‐down processing in speech perception. We argue here that this evidence does not support that conclusion. The findings are open to

The gradient influence of temporal extent of coarticulation on vowel and speaker perception
Coarticulation makes vowels in context acoustically different from context-free vowels. Listeners sometimes compensate by ascribing these acoustic effects to their source, but the conditions under which they do so have not yet been fully pinpointed ...

CLASSIC Utterance Boundary: A Chunking‐Based Model of Early Naturalistic Word Segmentation
Abstract Word segmentation is a crucial step in children's vocabulary learning. While computational models of word segmentation can capture infants’ performance in small‐scale artificial tasks, the examination of early word segmentation in naturalistic settings has been limited by the lack of measures that can relate models’ performance to ...

Sociology after the postcolonial: Response to Julian Go's ‘thinking against empire’
Abstract Julian Go's ‘Thinking Against Empire’ identifies the corpus of ‘anticolonial thought’ as being instructive for a wider rethinking of how sociology might rally its key conceptualisations of social relations. He insightfully identifies the marginalisation of such thinking from Sociology as an institutionalised discipline. In our response we take

An Airflow Analysis of Spanish and English Anticipatory Vowel Nasalization among Heritage Bilinguals
Gestural timing overlap between a vowel and subsequent nasal consonant results in the vowel being articulatorily nasalized. Research has shown that such degree of coarticulation varies cross-linguistically (e.g., English exhibits a greater gestural ...

Most theories of phonetics assume a tight relation between production and perception, and recent years have also seen increasing evidence for such a relation at the level of the individual.

The electropalatographic study of the coarticulatory effect of vowels on coronal stops in Persian
Using electropalatographic (EPG) data, we study the coarticulatory effect of intervocalic contexts on the Persian coronal stops [t] and [d]. The EPG patterns demonstrate that [d] is produced in a more anterior place than [t], proving the former to be a ...
