Although it is agreed that most speech is produced by a human vocal tract, it is less accepted that speech production and speech perception are intricately linked. Many theorists hold that the acoustic output of the vocal tract is dealt with in a purely acoustic manner and that any link that exists would be in modifications of the vocal tract shape to achieve a particular acoustic result. An alternative approach holds that speech consists of gestures, or the coordinated activity of a set of articulators, such as the jaw and the lips, achieving a phonetic goal, such as lip closure. The gestural assumption has allowed an insightful interpretation of many speech production phenomena, and the specific models are the basis for some testable predictions for perceptual theories. Experiments in this proposal would provide results to further substantiate the claim that the two processes are related and to begin validating the articulatory gesture as the link between perception and production. This theoretical outlook has been fruitfully applied to problems in language acquisition, language change, and certain language disabilities. The proposed research should provide an even broader application.

尽管人们一致认为，大多数语言是由人类产生的 声道，人们较少接受言语产生和言语知觉 错综复杂地联系在一起。许多理论家认为，声音的输出 声道是以纯声学的方式处理的，任何与 存在于对声道形状的修改中以达到 独特的声学效果。另一种方法认为，演讲由 手势，或一组发音机构的协调活动，如 下巴和嘴唇，达到语音目标，如嘴唇闭合。手势 假设允许对许多演讲作品进行有洞察力的解释 现象，以及特定的模型是一些可检验预测的基础 用于感性理论。这项提案中的实验将提供以下结果 进一步证实这两个进程是相关的，并将开始 确认发音手势是知觉与认知之间的纽带 制作。这一理论观点已被卓有成效地应用于 语言习得、语言变化和某些语言障碍。这个 拟议中的研究应该提供更广泛的应用。
