“…These modifications can all be viewed as involving changes from hypo-to hyperarticulation ͑H&H Theory, Lindblom, 1990͒ with respect to articulatory and acoustic features such as reduction of target undershoot and enhancement of phonemic contrasts as seen in, for instance, expanded vowel spaces and increased vowel length and consonant voicing contrasts. Articulatory studies of prominence and of prosodic structure showed that stressed and accented syllables and segments at phrase boundaries were produced with larger, less overlapped gestures and with larger linguapalatal contact ͑de Jong, 1995;Byrd and Saltzman, 2003;Byrd et al, 2000Byrd et al, , 2006Fougeron and Keating, 1997;Cho, 2006͒. In a more direct investigation of clear speech articulatory strategies, Perkell et al ͑2002͒ found that consonant-volwel-consonant ͑CVC͒ syllables in clear speech were produced with an increased articulatory effort ͑greater peak speed and larger articulatory movement distance͒ beyond increased segment durations for some talkers ͑intelligibility was not measured͒.…”
