Cross-Language Differences In Overlap And Assimilation Patterns In Korean And Russian, Alexei Kochetov, Marianne Pouplier, Minjung Son

This paper investigates cross-linguistic differences in gestural overlap in consonant clusters and discusses how different patterns of overlap may interact with language-specific place assimilation patterns. We examine Russian and Korean stopstop sequences within and across words, produced at two speaking rates. Significant differences in degrees of overlap emerge between the two languages for both prosodic conditions. We discuss to what extent language-specific differences in overlap can be linked to the language-specific propensity for articulatory place assimilation.

Opposing views have emerged in phonological and phonetic theory on whether perceptual place assimilation is exclusively attributable to gestural reduction or can be triggered by gestural overlap as well. Specifically, regressive place assimilation in Korean /pk/ clusters has been used as argument for the hypothesis that gestural reduction is uniquely responsible for perceptual place assimilation, yet the empirical evidence for this reduction hypothesis is ambiguous. The present study demonstrates on the basis of articulatory movement data that in these /pk/ clusters the lip gesture for /p/ is either fully present (with varying degrees of overlap) or completely absent. Our data …
