On the causes of compensation for coarticulation : evidence for phonological mediation [PDF]
This study examined whether compensation for coarticulation in fricative-vowel syllables is phonologically mediated or a consequence of auditory processes.

Revisiting an original idea by Hollerbach (1981), previous work has established that the production of graphic shapes, assumed to be the blueprint for handwriting, is governed by the dynamics of orthogonal non-linear coupled oscillators.

This paper investigates to what extent speakers adapt to unfamiliar consonant cluster timing patterns. We exploit naturally occurring consonant overlap differences between German and Georgian speakers’ productions to probe the constraints that language ...

Articulating: the neural mechanisms of speech production [PDF]
Speech production is a highly complex sensorimotor task involving tightly coordinated processing across large expanses of the cerebral cortex. Historically, the study of the neural underpinnings of speech suffered from the lack of an animal model.

Abstract The current study examined how children apply their phonological knowledge to recognize translation equivalents in a foreign language. Target words for recognition were either phonologically similar (cognate) or dissimilar (noncognate) to words they already knew in their first language.

The analysis of complex phonetic elements in Bura and the syllable
This paper examines those complex phonetic elements in Bura (and related languages such as Margi) which have been described by earlier scholars as unitary segments having a labial-alveolar double articulation.

Velar coarticulation revisited [PDF]
Several models, embodying fundamentally different assumptions about the nature and organization of speech motor control, have been offered in explanation of observations of coarticulatory phenomena. A series of experiments has been undertaken to test specific predictions about the role of carryover coarticulation in delaying the normally stable onset ...

Predictability Affects Spoken Phonological Systems Indirectly
ABSTRACT The last three decades have seen a large increase in attempts to explain phonetic and phonological patterns using information theoretic properties such as frequency and predictability. One recurring theme is the attempt to explain phonetic and phonological weakening as following directly from low information content. I argue that the actuation

Patterns of jaw coarticulatory direction and linguomandibular coordination in VCV sequences [PDF]
Data on lingual movement, dorsopalatal contact and F2 frequency presented in previous papers of ours (Recasens, 2002; Recasens and Pallarès, 2001; Recasens, Pallarès and Fontdevila, 1997) suggest that the degree of articulatory constraint (DAC) model ...
