Speech Research: A Report on the Status and Progress of Studies on the Nature of Speech, Instrumentation for Its Investigation, and Practical Applications.

Abstract

This report is one of a regular series on the status and progress of studies on the nature of speech, instrumentation for its investigation, and practical applications. Manuscripts cover the following topics: Distinguishing temporal information for speaking rate from temporal information for intervocalic stop consonant voicing; Articulatory motor events as a function of speaking rate and stress; Phase relationships among articulator muscles as a function of speaking rate and stress; Interarticulator programming in obstruent production; An electromyographic-cinefluorographic-acoustic study of dynamic vowel production; Should reading instruction and remediation vary with the sex of the child?; When a word is not the sum of its letters: Fingerspelling and spelling; A 'dynamic pattern' perspective on the control and coordination of movement; Motivating muscles: The problem of action; Some reflections on speech research; On levels of description in speech research, A note on the biology of speech perception; More on duplex perception of cues for stop consonants; The contribution of amplitude to the perception of isochrony; and On generalizing the rabid-rapid distinction based on silent gap duration.
