- Title
Coarticulation Resistance of American English Consonants and its Effects on Transconsonantal Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation.
- Authors
Fowler, Carol A.; Brancazio, Lawrence
- Abstract
The article investigates the coarticulation resistance of consonants of American English and its effects to transconsonantal vowel-to-vowel coarticulation. It examines vowel-to-vowel coarticulation by comparing tongue body positions during schwa produced in disyllables ending in different vowels. It correlates variation in coarticulation resistance of consonants in the speech of two native speakers of American English with variation in the magnitudes of locus equation slopes for each consonant. It is stated that an attempt is made to estimate the linearity of the relation of tongue body position during the vowel and position at consonant release for a set of utterances in which the consonant is fixed and the vowel varies.
