This paper outlines a theoretical approach to speech sound systems based on the notion of
phonological potentials: physical 'pressures' or biases that give rise to discrete structure and …

Models of coarticulation typically handle local interactions between temporally overlapping
consonants and vowels either through advance planning or algorithmic calculation of …

While speech planning has long been a topic of discussion in the literature, the specific
content of speech plans has remained largely conjectural. The present dissertation brings to …

Sounds sharing the same phonological feature may engage different body-level
mechanisms in addition to their local articulatory constriction. Recent evidence shows that …

Facial expressions and speech movements can impose conflicting demands on speech
articulators. For example, the bilabial closure for stop consonants/p/,/b/, and/m/compete with …

Background: Following glossectomy, patients often utilize compensatory articulatory
behaviors (CABs) to compensate for their acquired speech impairments. Incidental findings …

Speech production generates many instances of conflict between synchronous movements
in opposing directions. Previous research has identified such instances of conflict between …

Facial expressions and speech movements impose conflicting demands on articulators. 1
For instance, the lip spreading movement associated with smiling is incompatible with …

In order to uncover some of the details in speech plans, a design using a startling auditory
stimulus (SAS;> 120dB) has been applied to prepared speech production [1]. Stevenson et …
