Abstract
The fact that coarticulation occurs has long been known. Recent work has shown, for example, that a subsequent vowel has spectrographic effects on a preceding vowel-consonant sequence. Furthermore, at least some of these coarticulation effects may be seen in the sequence of positions assumed by the articulators, as observed in x-ray motion pictures and by articulatory position sensors. These facts, hawever, still leave open the question of the extent to which the complex gestures of speech are reorganized at the level of the muscular contractions. The present study was designed to provide information on this question by measuring the muscle-contraction patterns of various consonant-vowel sequences.
