Abstract
The aim of the paper is to describe the behavior of the Distinctive Region Model for the production of V 1 CV 3 utterances. The model, deduced from acoustic theory, is characterized by simplicity and efficiency in its handling of the articulatory-acoustic relation. A superposition principle that governs vowel-vowel transitions and consonant closures is tested. In the experiments, the duration of the closure is equal to the duration of the vowel-vowel transition and the movements between area targets are cosine transitions. The present work will report some attempts at modeling a well-known body of data on V 1 CV 3 utterances ( Öhman, 1966).
