Coarticulation as synchronised CV co-onset – Parallel evidence from articulation and acoustics
2022, Journal of PhoneticsCitation Excerpt :Because of this difference, the presence of acoustic or articulatory movement toward the following vowel prior to the acoustic consonantal landmark does not necessarily contradict the articulatory syllable hypothesis. In fact, based on the articulatory definition of segment onset, the finding of Öhman (1966) as well as the subsequent reports of anticipatory coarticulation (Magen, 1997; Mok, 2012; Recasens & Pallarès, 2001; Rubertus & Noiray, 2018) could be interpreted as evidence for the articulatory syllable. That is, the beginning of the formant movement toward the next vowel well before the consonant closure, as seen in Fig. 1b, would suggest that the articulation of that vowel has started at that moment.
Detecting anticipatory information in speech with signal chopping
2020, Journal of PhoneticsCitation Excerpt :Coarticulatory effects between overlapping gestures can be “planned”, i.e. are partly under speaker control (Whalen, 1990), and so language- and speaker-specificity of such effects does not necessarily indicate that they arise from non-local interactions. More compelling examples of non-local interactions between vowels have been observed in effects on vowels from non-adjacent syllables (Grosvald, 2009; Magen, 1997), and in paradigms where a planned but non-executed vowel has an influence on a produced vowel (Tilsen, 2007, 2009). Moreover, observations of non-local interaction are not confined to vowels.
Functional brain outcomes of L2 speech learning emerge during sensorimotor transformation
2017, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :In considering why simple contexts led to more acoustically accurate imitation of non-native items, it is important to note that both of the non-word contexts (mono and trisyllabic) afforded similarly accurate imitations of native vowels; however, only the simpler monosyllabic context facilitated improved imitations of the non-native vowel (relative to imitation of that vowel in isolation or in trisyllables). Based on our predictions, this appears to suggest that the increased articulatory complexity of the trisyllabic context, when combined with the non-native vowels, impacted participants’ ability to accurately imitate the mid-stressed /y/ vowel (further to Magen, 1997; see Kühnert and Nolan, 1999). We can then ask why isolated vowels were associated with less accurate imitations compared to in a simple context, particularly in the case of non-native /y/ (cf. context effects in perceiving French vowels; Gottfried, 1984).
