Articulatory Phonology advances an account of phonological structure in which dynamically
defined vocal tract tasks—gestures—are simultaneously and isomorphically units of …

Wilful movement requires neural control. Commonly, neural computations are thought to
generate motor commands that bring the musculoskeletal system—that is, the plant—from its …

Abstract Articulatory Phonology and Task Dynamics model spoken language mathematically
based on dynamical systems, expressing the view that speaking is similar in nature to many …

Non-local phonological patterns can be difficult to analyze in the context of speech
production models. Some patterns–eg, vowel harmonies, nasal harmonies–can be readily …

Auditory feedback perturbations involving spectral shifts indicated a crucial contribution of
auditory feedback to planning and execution of speech. However, much less is known about …

The hierarchical organization of speech rhythm into meter putatively confers cognitive
affordances for perception, memory, and motor coordination. Meter also aligns with phrasal …

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 …

In reading conventional poems aloud, the rhythmic experience is coupled with the projection
of meter, enabling the prediction of subsequent input. However, it is unclear how top-down …

Speech rate is a useful concept for understanding variation in speech, but there are many
different ways that it can be defined. One particularly common way of measuring speech rate …

The present study investigates effects of conventionally metered and rhymed poetry on
eyemovements in silent reading. Readers saw MRRL poems (ie, metrically regular, rhymed …
