We are testing a model of articulatory coordination and control over time using an articulatory synthesizer (ASY) that converts time-varying specifications of articulator positions into speed [Rubin, Baer, and Mermelstein J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 70, 321–328 (1981)]. These articulator specifications are now generated from an underlying dynamical model that defines a particular linguistic event. Coordination among individual articulators emerges from this model, as does the time course of the event. No point-by-point temporal control is required. Synthesis will allow perceptual evaluation of different underlying dynamical models. [Work supported by NIH and ONR.]
