“…Many studies on various languages, such as English, Korean, French and so on, have shown that articulatory strengthening of segments are usually taken place at the edges of prosodic domain, therefore, the articulatory strengthening of segments is a function of the hierarchical level of the prosodic structure [1] [2]. As for Chinese, still lack of approach directly respect in this subject up to date.…”

This paper reports a set of results based on the spectral and EPG measurements to the read speech copra in Mandarin Chinese, aim at the observation on the relationship between articulatory strengthening and prosody hierarchy. The data obtained both from acoustic and physiological measurements indicate that, articulatory manifestation of any segment in real speech are closely relevant to their prosodic position or status in connected speech. Therefore, it makes capable to predict the hierarchical organization of speech prosody from the strength of such articulatory strengthening. At the same time, this evidence further reveals the existence of anticipatory planning in speech production. Consequently, our finding should be not only of benefit for Chinese speech processing, but also provides a new angle of view to understand the mechanism of speech production in general.
