Abstract
Spectrographic and cinéradiographic data on voiced stops in V-V context are presented. The data suggest that (1) the neural signals controlling the activity of the vocal structures during V-stop-V utterances do not occur as a discrete time sequence corresponding to the graphic sequence of phoneme symbols; (2) the articulatory response to the neural instruction for the stop is superimposed on the initial portion of the response to the instruction for the following vowel; (3) the vocal-tract-shape target for the stop is not unique and depends on the V-V context as a whole; and (4) the formant loci of a stop+vowel (vowel+stop) syllable may be shifted along the frequency scale by a preceding (following) vowel. Interpretation of the data in relation to a dynamical model of speech production are discussed.
