eddor and colleagues (Beddor et al., 2002) recorded American English speakers producing 15 different types of made-up non-words (shown in the table above). The words were balanced such that each of the three initial target vowels (V1; shown in bold text) [i a u] occurs before each of five context vowels (V2) [i e a o u]. This design allowed the researchers to investigate the anticipatory (co-articulatory) influences of each context vowel (V2) on each preceding target vowel (V1). From the perspective of the listener, what implications may co-articulation have for vowel perception? (Hint: Do you think co-articulatory patterns might present a challenge to listeners, and/or do you think that they might be informative to listeners?)
