By Frank Kügler, Caroline Féry, Ruben van de Vijver, Frank Kugler, Caroline Fery

This booklet brings jointly researchers from sociolinguistics, phonetics, and phonology and offers an summary of present concerns in version and gradience in phonetics and phonology. during this e-book, version at each point of phonological illustration is addressed. It contributes to the transforming into curiosity in gradience and edition in theoretical phonology through combining study at the components underlying variability and systematic quantitative effects with theoretical phonological issues.

G. Keating 1990; Lindblom 1990; Labov 2001) has been on identifying and explaining various sources of phonetic variability – variable physical realization of categorical, symbolic phonological structure. One influential approach to explaining phonetic variability has been offered by the framework of Articulatory Phonology (AP; Browman and Goldstein 1989, 1990, 1992; Goldstein, Byrd, and Saltzman 2006). The key proposal of AP is that much of the observed variation in speech follows from combinatorial dynamics of basic units of speech, articulatory gestures.

For this metric, four articulatory dimensions were generated by measuring the size of the lip aperture during the production of 63 crosslinguistically frequent vowels and consonants, the size of the tongue constriction and its location along the palate (both using ultrasound imaging), and the ratio of nasal to oral airflow. Three acoustic dimensions were generated by multidimensional scaling of acoustic distances between the segments, as measured by a dynamic time-warping algorithm applied to matrices of mel-scaled cepstral coefficients based on three waveforms of each segment (See Mielke (2005b) for more details).

This class is problematic for more than just SPE features, because only one of the mid vowels participates, even though all three low vowels (including /O/) do. 30 Jeff Mielke i (1) u e o æ a O a.
