Producing Speech
Phonological underspecification and speech motor organisation
Over the last few years, much work in phonology has been devoted to exploring the way features are specified for segments; in particular, to what extent feature specification may be underlyingly present and/or acquired by rule or default in the course of a derivation. While a number of proposals have been made attributing various degrees of underspecification to abstract levels of the phonology (Kiparsky 1985; Steriade 1987; Archangeli 1988), it …
Converging sources of evidence for dissecting articulatory movements into core gestures
Some Acoustic and Physiological Observations on Diphthongs
This paper presents an analysis of some articulatory properties of (Dutch) diphthongs, attempting to correlate articulatory inferences based on perceptual and acoustic data with more direct physiological measurements (recordings of EMG activity). Evidence is presented that supports a distinction between "genuine" and "pseudo" diphthongs: the two classes appear to differ (1) in openness and advancement at their onsets and offsets, (2) in the harmo…
Tongue Position in Rounded and Unrounded Front Vowel Pairs
Traditional articulatory descriptions of front rounded and unrounded vowel pairs have assumed that tongue height is the same for the members of the pairs /i-y/, /e-ø/, and /ε-œ/. The electromyographic, articulatory synthetic, and acoustic investigations carried out in this study indicate that, in Dutch, the rounded member of the pairs /i-y/ and /e-ø/ was centralized. In the /ε-œ/ pair, however, the rounded vowel bears a different relationship to …
