Abstract The term “coarticulation” is used to describe the fact that speech is produced as a sequence of sounds in a smooth flow of articulatory movements - that is, there is “blurring of the edges” of segmental articulations as the vocal tract moves from one articulatory configuration to the next. Since studies of speech production have shown the vocal tract to be nearly always on the move from one segment to another, with occasional periods in which some, but not all, articulators can be seen to maintain static positions, it seems obvious that articulatory and acoustical patterns for any one segment must reflect characteristics of (at least) its adjacent segments.
