Abstract Existing models of speech production and coarticulation have failed to account for observations of real speech because hey have considered timing to be a by-product of articulatory events instead of an integral organizing parameter of the speech motor plan. The model offered here considers time and timing relationships to be intrinsic to speech motor organization and the units of speech to be inherently dynamic gestures rather than static vocal tract configurations or invariant commands to the articulators.
