The variation that a speech sound undergoes under the influence of neighbouring sounds
has acquired the well-established label coarticulation. The phenomenon of coarticulation …

Three experiments tested the hypothesis that V-to-V coarticulatory organization differs in
Shona and English, and that Shona-and English-speaking listeners' sensitivity to V-to-V …

This acoustic study investigated the extent and nature of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in
English trisyllabic utterances (/bV1bəbV3b/) where both V1 and V3 were either/a/or/i …

Recent literature on coarticulation shows that VCV coarticulatory effects are the result of the
cooccurrence of context-independent overlapping gestures and of context-dependent …

Research into linguistic rhythm has been dominated by the idea that languages can be
classified according to rhythmic templates, amenable to assessment by acoustic measures …

This book evaluates the predictions of syllable-based analyses of Italian in three domains:
native speaker intuition of consonant cluster syllabification, definite article allomorphy, and …

We examined whether typically developing Italian children exhibit adult-like stress
contrastivity for word productions elicited via a picture naming task (n= 25 children aged 3–5 …

Cross-language differences in the temporal organization of articulatory gestures for vowels
and consonants may relate to the overall rhythmic structure of a language. Two models of …

This study focuses on the temporal organization of consonants and vowels in Italian,
ostensibly a syllable-timed language. It aims to reveal the articulatory origins of a class of …

The focus of this study is on temporal organization, specifically of vowel duration, in stressed
syllables in (standard) Italian. We investigate possible compression effects on the duration of …
