Consonant cluster production and the phonetics-phonology interface – articulatory and acoustic evidence from Polish-English bilinguals
Examining Polish-English bilingual speakers, we investigate the degree of phonetic synchronicity between C1 and C2 in stop-sonorant and /s/-initial clusters. In the first experiment, articulatory data – gathered with electromagnetic articulography (EMA) – reveal longer target-to-target lags in Polish than English for stop-initial clusters, but no effect for /s/-initial clusters. A lesser amount of articulatory overlap for L1 Polish stop-initial c…
Articulatory consequences of lexical stress on post-tonic velar plosives in Italian
Lexical stress in Italian enlarges and lengthens post-tonic velar closure gesture. • Temporally, stressed vowels delay post-tonic velar targets across syllable boundaries. • Spatially, post-tonic velars retract in place of articulation. • These two modulations may block post-tonic velar palatalization. Lexically prominent positions are phonologically privileged: they are often phonetically strengthened and they are loci of contrast preservation. …
Challenges with the kinematic analysis of neurotypical and impaired speech
A common goal of kinematic studies on disordered speech is the identification of speech motor impairments that negatively impact speech function. Although it is well-known that the kinematic contours of speakers with speech disorders often deviate considerably from those of neurotypical speakers, systematic quantitative assessments of these impairment-related movement disturbances remain challenging. Kinematic measurement approaches are commonly …
Compensation in Time and Space
This study aims to explore the effects of healthy aging and Parkinson's disease on speech motor performance. One area of speech production which requires fine speech motor control is prominence marking. Therefore, strategies of prominence marking of three speaker groups with four speakers each were investigated: younger speakers, older speakers, and speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD). Acoustic and articulatory data were collected. Speech data…
Incongruencies between phonological theory and phonetic measurement
To assess a phonological theory, we often compare its predictions to phonetic observations. This can be complicated, however, because it requires a theoretical model that maps from phonological representations to articulatory and acoustic observations. In this study we are concerned with the question of how phonetic observations are interpreted in relation to phonological theories. Specifically, we argue that deviations of observations from theor…
The variability of syllable patterns in Tashlhiyt Berber and Polish
Mechanisms of regulation in speech
Speech variation is a naturally-induced phenomenon in human speech communication which can be attributed to the inevitably multifaceted nature of interactions between various higher-order linguistic and lower-order physiological factors. Speech is dynamic, and it is assumed that there are regulation mechanisms behind these complex interactions of structural, contextual and phonetic cues leading to an overwhelming variety of gradient phenomena in …
Gestural coordination of Italian word-initial clusters
We report on an articulatory study which uses an electromagnetic articulograph to investigate word-initial consonant clusters in Italian. In particular, we investigate clusters involving a sibilant, such as in spina ‘thorn’. The status of the sibilant in such clusters, referred to as ‘impure s’, is an unresolved problem for the syllable phonology of Italian. Coordination patterns of the gestural targets of consonantal and vocalic gestures reveal …
