Summary

This study reveals that jaw and lip movements in speech are more complex than previously thought. Articulatory coordination adapts to linguistic factors like syllable structure and consonant type, maintaining speech stability.

Area of Science:

  • Speech Science
  • Articulatory Phonetics
  • Biomechanics of Speech

Background:

  • Previous research established stable jaw-lip movement relations in (bV#CVb) utterances.
  • Lip movement onset was constant relative to the vowel-jaw cycle across rate and stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To replicate and extend previous findings on interarticulator phase relations.
  • Investigate the influence of syllable structure and consonant identity on speech articulation.
  • Examine articulatory coordination across broader linguistic organization.

Main Methods:

  • Manipulated rate, stress, syllable structure (open/closed), and intervocalic consonant (/p/ vs /m/).
  • Analyzed upper lip and jaw movement timing and phasing during speech production.
  • Compared interarticulator phase relations under varied linguistic conditions.

Main Results:

  • Upper lip lowering onset varied systematically with jaw cycle based on rate and stress.
  • Syllable structure and consonant identity influenced lip-jaw gesture relations.
  • Conditions shortening the first vowel led to earlier upper lip onset relative to the jaw.

Conclusions:

  • Stable interarticulator phase relations are crucial for phonological structure.
  • Articulatory coordination adapts to maintain structural integrity across various linguistic levels.
  • Jaw cycle variability did not correlate with phase variability within conditions.
