Coarticulation
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Coarticulation in its general sense refers to a situation in which a conceptually isolated speech sound is influenced by, and becomes more like, a preceding or following speech sound. There are two types of coarticulation: anticipatory coarticulation, when a feature or characteristic of a speech sound is anticipated (assumed) during the production of a preceding speech sound; and carryover or perseverative coarticulation, when the effects of a sound are seen during the production of sound(s) that follow. Many models have been developed to account for coarticulation. They include the look-ahead, articulatory syllable, time-locked, window, coproduction and articulatory phonology models.[1] Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists Coarticulation in phonetics refers to two different phenomena:
- the assimilation of the place of articulation of one speech sound to that of an adjacent speech sound. For example, while the sound Script error: No such module "IPA". of English normally has an alveolar place of articulation, in the word tenth it is pronounced with a dental place of articulation because the following sound, Script error: No such module "IPA"., is dental.
- the production of a co-articulated consonant, that is, a consonant with two simultaneous places of articulation. An example of such a sound is the voiceless labial-velar plosive Script error: No such module "IPA". found in many West African languages.
The term coarticulation may also refer to the transition from one articulatory gesture to another.
