Sažetak
One of the central issues in contemporary phonetics is that of coarticulation. Speech segments do not and cannot occur isolated in real speech. As elements of a multisegmental utterance in continuous speech, all segments have neighbors which exert a certain degree of influence upon them. The vast array of articulatory adaptations that occurs as a result of the influence of one phonetic structure on another is what constitutes coarticulation in its broadest sense. Because of its ubiquitous nature in continuous speech, coarticulation has been and continues to be a central research area in experimental and theoretical articulatory phonetics. Naturally then, any integral theory or model of speech production, and to a lesser degree speech perception, must account for coarticulation. In this chapter we provide a general introduction to coarticulation, to the techniques used to measure it, and to the major theoretical and experimental contributions in explaining the nature and principles that govern it. Depending on the theoretical approach, the definition and scope of coarticulation may vary significantly, thus we aim to review and assess some of the more influential models of coarticulation, which constitute a fundamental part of contemporary phonetics. Theories and models of coarticulation also have significant consequences on phonological theory, especially the phonology-phonetics interface. Modelling coarticulation is central to understanding how the categorical, timeless and context- independent units suggested by phonology and the gradual, dynamic and context-dependent characteristics of continuous speech are related to each other. Therefore, in this chapter we also explore the place of coarticulation in the phonology/phonetics dichotomy, relating coarticulation to what may in essence be viewed as its phonological counterpart – assimilation.
