This article introduces micro‐prosody as the study of the duration and timing of speech
events. We present a descriptive framework, formalising micro‐prosody in terms of gestural …

Phonological patterning motivates a distinction between complex segments and segment
sequences, although it has also been suggested that there might be reliable phonetic …

Patterns of relative timing between consonants and vowels appear to be conditioned in part
by phonological structure, such as syllables, a finding captured naturally by the two-level …

This article is Part I of a general overview of current methods in articulatory phonetics
research. This part deals with methods used to investigate oral gestures—speech‐related …

Research on the temporal dynamics of/l/production has focused primarily on mid-sagittal
tongue movements. This study reports how known variations in the timing of mid-sagittal …

This paper investigates the relative timing of onset consonant and vowel gestures in Tibetan
as spoken in the Tibetan diaspora. According to the coupled oscillator model of articulatory …

Sequences such as [mb, kp, ts] pattern as complex segments in some languages but as
clusters of simple consonants in others. What evidence is used to learn their language …

The current project undertakes a kinematic examination of vertical larynx actions and
intergestural timing stability within multi-gesture complex segments such as ejectives and …

In this article, we probe the timing relationship in CV sequences. To do so, we develop a
new technique that is sensitive to the distinction between proportional lag relationships and …
