Abstract
This chapter summarizes the ideas that led to this book. Articulatory Phonology in the Task Dynamic framework (AP/TD) takes a very different approach from traditional Symbolic Phonology. That is, phonological representations in AP/TD are spatiotemporal, whereas a model developed from generative phonology has symbolic, atemporal phonology. This difference in phonological representation has significant implications for the architecture of the production planning process, which must account for the quantitative details of surface phonetic form. Findings in the literature on general motor timing and particularly on speech motor timing suggest that it is time to re-evaluate these two approaches. These findings motivate the development of a symbol-based, three-component model with separate phonological and phonetic planning components, as well as a motor–sensory implementation component, all guided by general purpose timekeeping mechanisms that are extrinsic to the phonology.
