This paper reviews the current state of several formal models of speech motor control, with
particular focus on the low-level control of the speech articulators. Further development of …

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 …

Abstract Background/Purpose Differentiating the symptom complex due to phonological-
level disorders, speech delay and pediatric motor speech disorders is a controversial issue …

The linguistic term prosody has been conceived of as the structure of the utterance encoding
prominence and hierarchical structure at the lexical and phrasal levels (eg, Beckman 1996; …

Articulation of liquid consonants in onsets and codas by four speakers of General American
English was examined using real-time MRI. Midsagittal tongue posture was compared for …

Millions of individuals have congenital or acquired neuro-motor conditions that limit control
of their muscles, including those that manipulate the vocal tract. These conditions …

This paper presents a computational approach to derive interpretable movement primitives
from speech articulation data. It puts forth a convolutive Nonnegative Matrix Factorization …

We present and evaluate two statistical methods for estimating kinematic relationships of the
speech production system: artificial neural networks and locally-weighted regression. The …

Current models of speech motor control rely on either trajectory-based control (DIVA,
GEPPETO, ACT) or a dynamical systems approach based on feedback control (Task …

We present a new model of speech motor control (TD-SFC) based on articulatory goals that
explicitly incorporates acoustic sensory feedback using a framework for state-based control …
