0 the fact that the pronunciation of a sound in a word is affected by the sounds before and after it
However, this weak retraction must still be sufficient to permit successive coarticulation.
The evidence, however, suggests strongly that compensation for coarticulation has a prelexical locus.
First, there are coarticulation effects in that vowels in voiceless environments are higher in fundamental frequency than vowels in voiced environments.
This was done to eliminate any coarticulation or other acoustic cues that might influence word recognition for the target words.
The similarities between coarticulation and harmony are encouraging for the hypothesis that harmony developed from coarticulation.
The role of contrast in limiting vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in different languages.
Overspecification blocks spreading processes, but micro coarticulation (feature overlap) is intact.
The first has to do with the nature of compensation for coarticulation.
