Dynamics of F0 planning and production: contextual and rate effects on Thai tone gestures
… we find that tones are more stably anchored to articulatory events rather than acoustic events. Second, all observed timing patterns displayed by Thai speakers are compatible with a split-gesture competitive coupling model of tone. Third, tonal contexts produce effects on inter- and …

Unsupervised learning of vocal tract sensory-motor synergies
… here. This framework is shown to mirror the articulatory phonology model of speech production and evidence is provided that articulatory gestures arise from learning an optimal encoding of vocal tract dynamics. Broad phonetic categories are discovered within the low-dimensional factor space …

The Consonant/Vowel Distinction: A Cognitive Difference Evidenced by Glides
… and vowels is that consonants prioritize the articulatory domain and vowels prioritize the acoustic domain. These domains are realized in the cognitive system largely through feedback processes. Evidence in support of this hypothesis comes from cross-linguistic and experimental data on glides, …

Articulatory timing and sound change: a sociophonetic study of /st/ clusters in Seville Spanish
… better understand sound change and the role of articulatory timing in sibilant evolution. Data were collected from eighteen native Sevillian speakers through semi-structured interviews and a Controlled Reading Task (CRT). The interviews provided spontaneous speech data, while the CRT tested how …

FSM-Based Pronunciation Modeling using Articulatory Phonological Code
"According to articulatory phonology, the gestural score is an invariant speech representation. Though the timing schemes, i.e., the onsets and offsets, of the gestural activations may vary, the ensemble of these activations tends to remain unchanged, informing the speech content. ""Gestural …

Modeling temporal coordination in speech production using an artificial central pattern generator neural network
… AP nodes. Study 3 found that principles of the Articulatory Phonology model of suprasegmental structure can be integrated into a model of serial speech production in order to simulate aspects of speech error behavior which other models have been unable to explain, such as C/V error asymmetry, …
