Articulatory Phonology advances an account of phonological structure in which dynamically
defined vocal tract tasks—gestures—are simultaneously and isomorphically units of …

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 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 …

Speech, though communicative, is quite variable both in articulation and acoustics, and it
has often been claimed that articulation is more variable. Here we compared variability in …

In this study we investigate the timing of word-initial clusters and its relation to distinct
phonological syllable parses in Tashlhiyt Berber and Polish. To this end, we use …

The pitch accent system of Mainstream American English (MAE) is one of the most well-
studied phenomena within the Autosegmental-Metrical (AM) approach to intonation. In this …

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 …

Abstract In Tokyo Japanese,/u/is typically devoiced between two voiceless consonants.
Whether the lingual vowel gesture is influenced by devoicing or present at all in devoiced …

We tested predictions of the Articulatory Phonology analysis of tone as gesture, providing
the first direct comparison of CV timing between syllables with and without tone. In an EMA …
