Cover -- Speech Timing: Implications for Theories of Phonology, Phonetics, and Speech Motor Control -- Copyright -- Contents -- Series preface -- Acknowledgments -- List of figures and tables -- List of abbreviations -- 1: Introduction -- 2: Articulatory Phonology/Task Dynamics -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 The dual function of gestures within Articulatory Phonology: contrast and constriction formation -- 2.3 Using mass-spring systems to model gestural movement in TD -- 2.4 Gestural control of individual articulators, and gestural activation -- 2.4.1 Gestural control of individual articulators |
|
2.4.2 Gestural activation, overlap in the gestural score, and the neutral attractor -- 2.4.2.1 Gestural activation -- 2.4.2.2 Intergestural coordination -- 2.4.2.3 The neutral attractor -- 2.5 Timing Control in AP/TD -- 2.5.1 Timing control of individual gestures -- 2.5.1.1 Surface timing consequences of gestures as mass-spring systems -- 2.5.1.2 The amount of time the vocal tract is governed by a gesture: the Gestural Activation Interval -- 2.5.1.2.1 Time to peak velocity: Activation interval rise time -- 2.5.1.3 Mechanisms for longer durations for longer-distance movements |
|
2.5.2 Inter-gestural timing, i.e. gestural coordination -- 2.5.2.1 Gestural coordination in languages other than English -- 2.5.3 Prosodic Timing -- 2.5.3.1 Relationships among the timing of syllables, feet, and phrases -- 2.5.3.2 Trans-gestural timing -- 2.5.4 Global timing: overall speech rate -- 2.5.5 Summary of timing control mechanisms in AP/TD -- 2.6 Key features of AP/TD -- 2.6.1 Key features 1-3: Spatiotemporal gestures as units of lexical contrast, emergent surface characteristics, and a single phonological/phonetic planning component |
|
2.6.1.1 Derivative feature 1: Units of lexical contrast are not symbolic -- 2.6.1.2 Derivative Feature 2: Speech production goals are articulatory rather than sensory -- 2.6.1.3 Derivative Feature 3: Timing control is intrinsic to the phonological system -- 2.6.1.4 Derivative Feature 4: AP/TD has a default-adjustment approach to contextual variability -- 2.6.1.5 Derivative Feature 5: No correspondence between AP/TD planning+suprasegmental oscillator 'clock' time and solar time -- 2.6.1.6 Derivative Feature 6: No system-extrinsic timekeeping mechanisms, no representation of surface time |
|
2.6.2 Key feature 4: Shared control mechanisms for periodic and non-periodic behavior -- 2.7 Advantages of the AP/TD framework -- 2.7.1 The ability to model the gradient nature of many utterance-level processes in spoken language better than the alternative feature-rewriting-rules approach that was standard at the time of the theory's inception -- 2.7.2 An account of surface variability despite phonological invariance -- 2.7.3 An account of the cross-linguistic frequency of CV syllables -- 2.7.4 A sophisticated account of most known speech timing effects |
| Summary |
This book explores the nature of cognitive representations and processes in speech motor control, based primarily on speech timing evidence. It argues for an alternative to Articulatory Phonology, and lays out a framework that provides a more satisfactory account of what is known about motor timing in general and speech timing in particular |
