Abstract:

There is debate about how coarticulation is represented in speakers' mental
grammar, as well as the role that coarticulation plays in explaining
synchronic and diachronic sound patterns across languages. This Element takes
an individual-differences approach in examining nasal coarticulation in
production and perception in order to understand how coarticulation is used
phonologically in American English. Experiment 1 examines coarticulatory
variation across 60 speakers. The relationship between speaking rate and
coarticulation is used to classify three types of coarticulation. Experiment 2
is a perception study relating the differences in realization of
coarticulation across speakers to listeners' identification of lexical items.
The author demonstrates that differences in speaker-specific patterns of
coarticulation reflect differences in the phonologization of vowel
nasalization. Results support predictions made by models that propose an
active role by both speakers and listeners in using coarticulatory variation
to express lexical contrasts and view coarticulation as represented in an
individual's grammar.
