| Abstract | Aerodynamic and laryngeal components were added to the task-dynamic model to make it a more complete model of speech production. New tract variables included were subglottal pressure, transglottal pressure, and a quantity giving fundamental frequency in sonorant conditions. New articulators included total force on the lungs, generalized laryngeal tension, and supralaryngeal volume. Simulations of /VCV/ sequences, where C was either a voiced or a voiceless aspirated stop, demonstrated the usefulness of these additions. |
