Abstract	[Introduction] This preliminary report addresses the general issue of how to characterize the dynamics that underlie the temporal patterning of speech gestures. The experimental approach adopted was to apply unpredictable mechanical perturbations to the articulatory periphery during speech sequences, and to examine the resultant changes in the temporal or phasing structure of the sequences. Two types of sequences were used: repetitive (/paepaepae.../) and discrete (/pesaepaepl/). The former sequence types were analyzed using both phase-resetting (Saltzman, in press) and transient techniques, while the latter were analyzed using transient techniques only. The focus of the study was on discerning the relationships between the patterns observed in the repetitive and discrete data, and on identifying common dynamical principles (Saltzman, Kay, Kinsella-Shaw, and Rubin, in preparation).
