This paper reviews the current state of several formal models of speech motor control, with
particular focus on the low-level control of the speech articulators. Further development of …

Speech Sound Disorders (SSDs) is a generic term used to describe a range of difficulties
producing speech sounds in children. The foundations of clinical assessment, classification …

Phonological patterning motivates a distinction between complex segments and segment
sequences, although it has also been suggested that there might be reliable phonetic …

Humans rarely speak without producing co-speech gestures of the hands, head, and other
parts of the body. Co-speech gestures are also highly restricted in how they are timed with …

Prosody has been characterised as a" half-tamed savage" being shaped by both discrete,
categorical aspects as well as gradient, continuous phenomena. This book is concerned …

To assess a phonological theory, we often compare its predictions to phonetic observations.
This can be complicated, however, because it requires a theoretical model that maps from …

A conceptual framework for modeling articulatory control is presented in a tutorial fashion.
The framework incorporates three mechanisms: selection, coordination, and intention …

A conceptual framework and mathematical model of the control of articulatory timing are
presented, in which feedback systems play a fundamental role. The model applies both to …

Most analyses of articulatory processes in speech assume that word form-related changes in
the state of the vocal tract have well-defined beginnings and ends. But how do we determine …

Speech variation is a naturally-induced phenomenon in human speech communication
which can be attributed to the inevitably multifaceted nature of interactions between various …
