EXTENDING THE THEORY OF ARTICULATORY PHONOLOGY IN SPEECH AND READING

我们在项目I中的主要目标是发展我们对“实用音系学”的理论观点，即， 论公共语言使用的音位结构--兼论这些音位结构是否为音位结构 由各种书写系统的熟练读者访问。 语音语言使用的一个中心要求是，交际者通常要达到 发送和接收的语音信息之间的充分等值关系。因为语言是 作为一个进化的系统，平价成就将被选中。平等培养系统是一种 用于使说话者的信息公之于众的语言的组成部分，即语音形式 他们自己都是公开的事情。此外，它们也是消息中贯穿于 交流交流。我们认为，手势(声道的重要语言动作)是 那些音素原语。 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，节律音系学，通过展示它可以有洞察力地解决种类 作为音系学理论的测试案例的音系学。接下来，我们将展示 手势也是发音计划中的编码单位，也是发音计划的编码单位 制作。第三，我们试图说明手势是感知音系结构的原语。 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。我们建议的阅读研究开发了一种关键的方法(蒙面启动)来跟踪 熟练的读者从印刷品中获取音系学知识。然后，在其他方法中，这种方法被用来询问 从印刷体中跨语言获取的音系是以语音为基础的，并使用交叉语气 (语音到印刷体)启动，询问从印刷体获取的音位是否为从语音获取的音系学。

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.
