| Abstract | An approach to phonological representation is proposed, based on describing an utterance as an organized pattern of overlapping articulatory gestures. Because movement is inherent in this definition of gestures, these gestural "constellations" can account for both spatial & temporal properties of speech in a relatively simple way. At the same time, taken as phonological representations, such gestural analyses offer many of the same advantages provided by recent nonlinear phonological theories, & suggest examples of how gestural analyses simplify the description of such "complex segments" as /s/-stop clusters & prenasalized stops. Thus, gestural structures can be seen as providing a principled link between phonological & physical description. |
