What are the expected coarticulatory influences of V2 on V1?
Beddor and colleagues (Beddor et al., 2002) recorded American English speakers producing 15 different types of made-up non-words (shown in the table attached). 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).
i. What are the expected coarticulatory influences of V2 on V1? (Hint: You have to consider how the production of a target vowel changes, due to co-articulation, in different phonetic contexts.)
