Abstract

As research in speech production becomes more integrated with linguistic theory, it has become increasingly clear that segmental articulation can not be understood independently of prosodic structure. We see evidence for prosodic structure in the physical act of articulation—that is, not just in what we say but in how we say it. These phonological influences pervade low-level articulatory behavior. Despite the pervasiveness of these effects, only a very few articulatory correlates of prosodic structure—what we call “prosodic signatures”—have been identified.
