Abstract

Cinefluorographic films of three normal adult speakers of American English were analyzed to determine the timing of the articulatory submovements in /spr/, /spl/, and /skw/ sequences containing variously positioned word and morpheme boundaries. The data reveal that some articulatory events are separated by as little as 10 msec and that certain articulatory intervals are essentially unaffected by variations in the position of linguistic boundaries. Feedback and preprogramming models of motor timing are discussed in relation to the temporal structure of the test sequences.
