selection processes and phonological planning. Less attention has been given to the …

The goals of this paper are (1) to discuss the key features of existing articulatory models of
speech production that govern their approaches to timing, along with advantages and …

Abstract Articulatory Phonology and Task Dynamics model spoken language mathematically
based on dynamical systems, expressing the view that speaking is similar in nature to many …

This book explores the nature of cognitive representations and processes in speech motor
control, based primarily on evidence from speech timing. It engages with the key question of …

Previous work demonstrates that a word's status as morphologically-simple or complex may
be reflected in its phonetic realisation. One possible source for these effects is phonetic …

Pretonic schwa elision in fast speech (eg potato-›[pt] ato, demolish-›[dm] olish) has been
