Abstract

This paper presents some preliminary examples of core gesture analysis from a crosslinguistic study of coarticulation and temporal organization based on the frame by frame analysis of speech gestures from X-ray motion films of speech, and evaluation of the functions of the individual component gestures. Data are reported for a Southern Swedish speaker. Lip, tongue, jaw and larynx maneuvers are tracked and evidence of anticipation, perseveration, assimilation, interarticulator coordination and compensation is reported that supports the Kozhevnikov & Chistovich model of coarticulation and challenges models based on competition between gestures.
