Abstract

A segmental model for generating articulator movements based on the principle of articulatory underspecification has been developed. This model is part of a computer-implemented speech production model controlling an articulatory speech synthesizer and capable of producing any utterance [B. J. Kröger, in SignalProcessingVI: TheoriesandApplications, edited by J. Vandewalle etal. (Elsevier, New York, 1992), pp. 331–334]. Articulatory/phonatory control parameter time functions generated by this segmental model are compared to those generated by a gestural model. Qualitative comparison shows that the concept of segmental underspecification and the concept of cooccurrence (or overlap) of articulatory gestures result in similar articulator movements.
