The effects of phonetic gestures and phonological rules on intergestural timing relations (original) (raw)

This investigation explores the impact of phonetic and phonological factors on intergestural timing relations, focusing specifically on vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in Korean. It tests how intervening consonants, particularly palatals versus alveolars, influence coarticulation, as well as the effects of phonological rules like palatalization on these timing relations. Through this research, the paper aims to elucidate the relationship between phonetics and phonology, suggesting potential implications for the understanding of coarticulation and its representation in linguistic structure.
