Journal ArticleDOI
Articulatory phonology: an overview.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the gestural approach clarifies the understanding of phonological development, by positing that prelinguistic units of action are harnessed into (gestural) phonological structures through differentiation and coordination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Articulatory gestures as phonological units
TL;DR: It is argued that dynamically defined articulatory gestures are the appropriate units to serve as the atoms of phonological representation, and the phonological notation developed for the gestural approach might usefully be incorporated, in whole or in part, into other phonologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an articulatory phonology
TL;DR: An approach to phonological representation based on describing an utterance as an organised pattern of overlapping articulatory gestures is proposed, providing a principled link between phonological and physical description.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gestural specification using dynamically-defined articulatory structures
TL;DR: The overall approach is exemplified using investigations into an overlap hypothesis of reduced vowels, specifically the hypothesis that the difference between the bisyllable “beret” and the monosyllable ”bray” can be attributed to a difference in the overlap of the labial closure and tongue rhotic gestures.
Competing constraints on intergestural coordination and self-organization of phonological structures
TL;DR: This paper proposed to enrich gestural structures to include an explicit representation of the relative cohesiveness of pairs of gestures within an utterance, which has unexpected and interesting explanatory consequences, one of which involves the phonetic and phonological properties of syllable structure.
