Coarticulation is the tendency for speech vocalization and articulation even at the phonemic
level to change with context, and compensation for coarticulation (CfC) reflects the striking …

Speech perception and memory for speech require active engagement. Gestural theories
have emphasized mainly the effect of speaker's movements on speech perception. They fail …

A well-known phenomenon of multimodal language is the synchronous coupling of prosodic
contours in speech with salient kinematic changes in co-speech hand-gesture motions …

Explaining and modeling the process of coarticulation is one of the central tasks of speech
research. At the same time, the literature on the temporal extent of anticipatory coarticulation …

Context effects are ubiquitous in speech perception and reflect the ability of human listeners
to successfully perceive highly variable speech signals. In the study of how listeners …

The acoustic consequences of gestural overlap afford listeners multiple, timevarying cues for
a given linguistic percept. Findings from “offline” perceptual tasks and “online” real-time …

A programmatic series of studies aimed at expanding our understanding of coarticulation in
V1· CV2 sequences is presented. The common thread was examining coarticulatory …

Abstract Language is intrinsically multimodal. Speakers use gestures, prosody, gaze, and
facial expressions as cues that complement and expand the meaning expressed in their …

Multimodal behavior has been studied for a long time and in many fields, eg, in psychology,
linguistics, communication studies, education, and ergonomics. One of the main motivations …

The inherent confound between the organization of articulation and the acoustic–phonetic
structure of the speech signal makes it exceptionally difficult to evaluate the competing …
