EXTENDING THE THEORY OF ARTICULATORY PHONOLOGY IN SPEECH AND READING

我们在项目I的主要目标是发展我们对“实用音系学”的理论观点也就是说， 公共语言使用的语音结构，并测试这些是否是语音结构 由各种书写系统的熟练读者访问。 语音语言使用的一个核心要求是交际者通常要达到“对等”一 发送和接收的语音信息之间的充分等价关系。因为语言是 在一个不断发展的系统中，将选择实现平等。平等促进制度是一种 语言的组成部分，使说话者的信息公开，即语音形式，是 自己的公共事物。此外，它们也是贯穿于一个 沟通交流。我们认为，手势（语言上重要的动作的声道）是 那些原始的语音 我们的研究旨在测试和进一步发展这些想法。我们建议发展我们的理论， 语音能力，发音语音学，通过显示它可以深刻地解决各种 音系系统性，作为音系理论的测试案例。接下来，我们展示了 发音语音学的原语，手势，也是话语规划中的编码单位， 生产第三，我们试图表明，手势是感知语音结构的原语。 我们在项目I中对阅读的研究将把我们对发音音系学的探索扩展到 阅读。我们提出的阅读研究开发了一种关键的方法（掩蔽启动），用于跟踪 熟练的读者从印刷品中获得音韵学。然后，该方法论和其他方法论被用来问， 从印刷品中跨语言获取的音系是语音基础的， （从言语到印刷品）启动，询问从印刷品中获得的语音是否是从言语中获得的。

Our major aims in Project I are to develop our theoretical perspective on the "practical phonology"that is, on phonological structures of public language use~and to test whether these are the phonological structures accessed by skilled readers of a variety of writing systems. A central requirement of phonological language use is that communicators typically achieve "parity"a relation of sufficient equivalence between phonological messages sent and received. Because language is an evolved system, parity achievement will have been selected for. A parity fostering system is one in which components of the language that serve to make a speaker's message public, that is, phonological forms, are themselves public things. In addition, they are the elements of the message throughout all phases of a communicative exchange. We propose that gestures (linguistically significant actions of the vocal tract) are those phonological primitives. Our research is designed to test and further develop these ideas. We propose to develop our theory of phonological competence, Articulatory Phonology, by showing that it can insightfully address the kinds of phonological systematicities that serve as test cases for phonological theories. Next we show that the primitives of Articulatory Phonology, gestures, are also units of encoding in utterance planning and production. Third we attempt to show that gestures are the primitives of perceived phonological structure. Our research on reading in Project I will extend our exploration of articulatory phonology to the domain of reading. Our proposed reading research develops a critical methodology (masked priming) for tracking the skilled reader's access to phonology from print. Then that methodology among others is used to ask whether the phonology accessed from print crosslinguistically is phonetically-grounded, and to use crossmodal (speech to print) priming to ask whether the phonology accessed from print is that accessed from speech.
