The results showed a continuum of backing of the primary constriction from alveolar to post-alveolar or retroflex as a function of the absence or presence of one or more rhotic segments in the word and their proximity to the alveolar. These findings are interpreted as coarticulation of alveolars to the more constrained rhotic approximant and rhotacized vowels, and to different degrees of overlap of alveolar and …
