This study on speech articulation reveals that consonant and vowel sounds influence each other differently. Consonantal effects align with tongue and jaw movements, while vowel effects primarily follow jaw movements in VCV sequences.
Area of Science:
- Phonetics
- Speech Science
- Linguistics
Background:
- Understanding coarticulation is crucial for speech production models.
- Previous research has examined coarticulation for various speech parameters.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate F1 coarticulatory patterns in Catalan VCV sequences.
- To compare F1 coarticulation with existing data on jaw, tongue, and palate movements.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of F1 coarticulation in VCV sequences from 5 Catalan speakers.
- Measurement of temporal extent and size of coarticulation effects.
- Comparison with literature data on jaw, dorsopalatal contact, and F2 coarticulation.
Main Results:
- Consonantal effects on F1 correlate with lingual and jaw coarticulation trends.
- Vocalic effects on F1 align with jaw coarticulatory trends.
- Findings suggest partially independent articulatory subsystems for consonants and vowels.
Conclusions:
- Consonant and vowel gestures overlap in VCV sequences.
- Articulatory subsystems for consonants and vowels operate with some independence.
- F1 coarticulation patterns provide insights into speech production mechanisms.

The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N–O and N=O bonds.
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
