Abstract
Electropalatographic and acoustic data collected during the production of an apicoalveolar tap [ɾ] and an apicoalveolar trill [r] in symmetrical VCV sequences of Catalan show lesser V-to-C effects for [r] than for [ɾ]. This contrast means presumably that the tongue body is subject to a higher degree of constraint during the production of the trill than of the tap. It also indicates that the gesture for the trill is not a mere series of taps. Data on coarticulation in asymmetrical VCV sequences reveal larger carryover than anticipatory effects from the adjacent vowels in the case of the tap but not of the trill. An explanation for those effects is given in terms of theories of coarticulation and degrees of articulatory constraint.
