| Abstract | Electropalatographic and acoustical data on VCV sequences for Catalan consonants involving contrasting degrees of tongue-dorsum contact (dorsopalatal [j], alveolo-palatals [(leftward-left-hook n), alveolo-palatal lateral [**], & alveolar nasal [n]) show that the degree of V-to-C coarticulation varies monotonically & inversely with the degree of tongue-dorsum contact and the size of the back cavity behind the place of constriction. Evidence for larger carryover than anticipatory V-to-C effects is also presented. Both findings suggest that, to a large extent, coarticulation on tongue-dorsum contact is regulated by mechanical constraints on articulatory activity. |
