The perception of phonetic gestures

We have titled our presentation "The perception of phonetic gestures" as if phonetic gestures are perceived. By phonetic gestures we refer to organized movements of one or more vocal-tract structures that realize phonetic dimensions of an utterance (cf. Browman & Goldstein, 1986; in press a). An example of a gesture is bilabial closure for a stop, which includes contributions by the jaw and the upper and lower lips. Gestures are organized into larger segmental and suprasegmental groupings, and we do not intend to imply that these larger organizations are not perceived as well. We focus on gestures to emphasize a claim that, in speech, perceptual objects are fundamentally articulatory as well as linguistic.
