Alveolar and Velar Stops (20)<br />

• These results are quite consistent with the<br />

hypothesis that a velar stop in English has<br />

a strong tendency to coarticulate with an<br />

adjacent vowel (in this case the onset <strong>of</strong><br />

the following vowel).<br />

• This effect is most likely strongest within<br />

the same syllable, but we haven’t tested<br />

this as the preceding vowel was always a<br />

schwa so we can only see the effect <strong>of</strong><br />

changing the vowel in the same syllable.<br />
