| Abstract | In a 1984 paper, Harris and Bell-Berti observed that “it remains in the future, then, for us to develop a theory of syllabification and coarticulation using evidence gathered from the articulatory domain with a net of mesh that has a smaller gauge than that which has produced our present views” (p. 94). The framework of Articulatory Phonology, which we have been developing over the last several years (Browman & Goldstein, 1986, 1989, 1992), provides one approach to meeting the challenge they laid out. |
