This paper presents a method to quantify consonant-to-vowel coarticulation using Eastern Andalusian Spanish as an example. Various features of /i/, /a/, and /u/ are analysed acoustically in isolation, and before and after each Spanish consonant in ...

Mental practice promotes motor anticipation: evidence from skilled music performance
Mental practice (MP) has been shown to improve movement accuracy and velocity, but it is not known whether MP can also optimize movement timing. We addressed this question by studying two groups of expert pianists who performed challenging music ...

Evidence from Coarticulation Sensitivity [PDF]
Phonemic perception exhibits coarticulation sensitivity, phonotactic sensitivity and lexical sensitivity. Three kinds of models of speech perception are found in the literature, which embody different answers to the question of how the three kinds of ...

The metaphysics of coarticulation
Abstract: The categorization and identification of data cannot proceed on the basis of “objective” theory-free observation, but must rely on criteria derived from methodological and metaphysical presuppositions. In the study of linguistic expression, we presuppose the existence of corpuscular entities such as segments.

Abstract: A scientific explanation consists of the identification of basic entities and the mechanism whereby these entities are interrelated to generate a given phenomenon. Though we are at this time not able to explain coarticulation, we are attempting to clarify the basic assumptions that underlie this notion in the belief that a clear definition ...

Palatalization and coarticulation in Russian.
Previous investigations have suggested that contrastive palatalization in Russian blocks vocalic coarticulation by constraining the movement of the tongue during consonant production.

Coarticulation dampening properties of the glottal stop [PDF]
The acoustics of adjacent phonemes influence each other due to the interaction of the articulators in a process known as coarticulation. The glottal stop is a phoneme that is reported to not use any supralaryngeal articulators which makes it a candidate ...

It is widely accepted that invariant and discrete phonological units at the linguistic level are transformed into variable and continuous movements of speech organs, which in turn results in equally continuous acoustical results.

The concept of coarticulation, i.e. the apparent variation of segments due to the influence of adjacent or nearby segments, is central to almost any area in phonetic research. The following text considers the 'origin' of this concept from three different
