Contextual-coarticulatory inconsistency of /s/ misarticulation

Coarticulatory variability and directionality in [s, ..]: an EPG study

Articulatory properties of the sibilants [ , ] and non-sibilant [ ] were studied for VCV syllables in Japanese, using the technique of electropalatography. We examined the relation between constriction width and location, and the nature of coarticulatory variability and directionality, specific to the two fricative categories. The results allow us to discuss the phonetic basis of the ‘precision...

Reasoning with contextual requirements: Detecting inconsistency and conflicts

CONTEXT. The environment in which the system operates, its context, is variable. The autonomous ability of a software to adapt to context has to be planned since the requirements analysis stage as a strong mutual influence between requirements and context does exist. On the one hand, context is a main factor to decide whether to activate a requirement, the applicable alternatives to meet an act...

Coarticulatory effects in perception

The perceptual interaction between adjacent CV segments is studied in Fricative-Vowel syllables from a coarticulatory point of view. The results of a perceptual experiment with conflictingcue stimuli are analyzed under the assumption, supported by the results, of the possible influence of F-to-V carryover coarticulation on the integration process. The DAC scale was used to estimate the degree o...

On inconsistency of a pairwise comparison matrix

Coarticulatory stability in American English /./

A number of different researchers have reported a substantial degree of variability in how American English /./ coarticulates with neighboring segments. Acoustic and articulatory data were used to investigate this variability for speakers of ‘‘rhotic’’ American English dialects. Three issues were addressed: ~1! the degree to which the F3 trajectory is affected by segmental context and stress, ~...
