Abstract
This investigation attempts to determine, via classical reaction-time techniques, whether speakers require longer times to initiate the production of so-called ‘bite-block’ vowels than they do for normal vowels. The results suggest that speakers do spend measurable amounts of time in neurophysiological reorganization for such vowels. These results are discussed in terms of some current models for speech motor control.Keywords
