| Abstract | Introduces an alternative suggestion for speech representations to that proposed by J. Pierrehumbert (see PA, Vol 78:14914). It is asserted that distinctions based on dichotomies (e.g., cognitive^physical) get in the way of understanding complex physical systems. Within the view that phonological structure is a complex, self-organized system, it is possible to acknowledge that different descriptive tools (e.g., symbols vs equations) are appropriate for different classes of phonological phenomena. The alternative approach is exemplified using speech error data. |
