TLDR
The authors examines possible criteria for establishing competence/performance distinctions in phonetic theory, emphasizing that rules should take a form compatible with those of the phonological component and question of whether the coarticulation phenomenon can be handled adequately in the phonetic competence model is also discussed.Abstract:
This paper examines possible criteria for establishing competence/performance distinctions in phonetic theory. It is emphasized that for the competence aspect, rules should take a form compatible with those of the phonological component, and question of whether the coarticulation phenomenon can be handled adequately in the phonetic competence model is also discussed. Recent electromyographic data are referred to, and the problem of the relative roles of active and passive (voluntary and involuntary) programming of the muscles associated with articulation re‐examined. It is argued that the area is by no means exhausted and that there are even yet questions to be asked.read more

Electromyographic correlates of the phonological /y/-/u/ distinction in French
TL;DR: This paper investigated various aspects of the skilled movement exhibited in speech and found that there exists a correlation between the time an EMG peak occurs and the amplitude achieved, this relationship characterizes the muscle activity for both vowels and the labial gesture for /y/ and /u/ does not appear to be monotypic.

An integrated knowledge base for speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition
TL;DR: Speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition are brought together by sharing a common knowledge base by outlining an appropriate type of representation.
Defining the Bases of Phonetic Theory.
TL;DR: The task of any phonetic theory is to determine the form of a phonetic component by establishing the internal and external constraints on that component.

The effect of diminution of tactile sensitivity on labial muscular activity under controlled jaw separation conditions during intervocalic /p/ production
TL;DR: The effect of diminution of labial tactile sensitivity on intervocalic /p/ production was examined and significant differences were found between normal and diminished tactile sensitivity productions.
