Coarticulation
Definition:
(n.) The union or articulation of bones to form a joint.

(5) This perceptual context effect presumably reflects adjustment for certain coarticulatory effects and implies tacit knowledge of coarticulation and its consequences.
(6) The present study investigated the extent of anticipatory coarticulation in the speech of five 7-year-old and four 10-year-old children with profound prelingual hearing impairment as compared to normally hearing age-matched control subjects.
(7) The lack of significant between-group differences, taken together with several other findings of the study, is consistent with the view that the temporal domain of carry-over nasal coarticulation is determined largely by the time needed to close the VPP (i.e., by inertial properties of the speech production mechanism).
