    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; acceleration; articulation; articulography; coarticulation; EMA; gesture; phonology; prosody; speech motor control; speech production modelling; Swedish; word accent; tone;

    Sammanfattning : Speech is both dynamic and distinctive at the same time. This implies a certain contradiction which has entertained researchers in phonetics and phonology for decades. The present dissertation assumes that articulation behaves as a function of time, and that we can find phonological structures in the dynamical systems. LÄS MER
