Abstract

In this paper we studied if we find increased coarticulatory resistance and aggression in V-to-V coarticulation in pitchaccented syllables, and we also tested if anticipatory effects are exceeded by carryover effects in these contexts. We analyzed acoustic and articulatory (EMA) data from 9 Hungarian female speakers, and gauged coarticulatory effects by two different means. First, in line with previous studies, we calculated differences of coarticulated and neutrally positioned vowels (quality shift), which captures nature and magnitude of centralization. Second, we determined across context dispersion of vowels using relative standard deviation of tokens, which reflects uniformity of vocalic targets and which measure is yet understudied in this topic. Our two measures revealed different trends of coarticulatory variation and its modulating factors, and we also find divergent tendencies in acoustics and articulation. We propose that extension of our analysis to further typologically different languages is needed.
