Plagiarism edit

The third paragraph was copied/pasted from the abstract of the following paper: [1]. I'll correct that soon, but if anyone wants to do it in the meantime, feel free. :) Lingeek (talk) 13:01, 3 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

This page would benefit from

  • a comprehensive description of gestures as pre-linguistic action units
  • task-dynamics
  • the relationship between AP and task-dynamics (task-dynamics is a theory/model about motor control whereas AP is essentially a hypotheses in the task-dynamic framework that linguistic primitives are action units)
  • pi-gestures
  • the coupled oscillator model (and specifically its use in AP)
  • dynamics/dynamical systems
  • equation(s) of motion and critically damped oscillators
  • research methods (e.g., EMA, X-Ray microbeam, rtMRI, ultrasound, region of interest analysis, segmentations, analysis by synthesis in TADA)
  • a comparison between this system and SPE-originating phonology
  • and descriptions for what counts as valid/informative in Articulatory Phonology (i.e., time to peak velocity is considered a useful measurement for comparing gesture stiffness, and inter-gestural timing indicates gestural coupling patterns, both of which are hypotheses about action/language cognition; on the other hand, symbolic transcriptions of speech are not considered valuable information wrt the AP hypothesis because they don't represent movement, and acoustic measurements are less informative than articulatory measurements except when a phonological target is hypothesized to be an acoustic one)
  • citation to the Saltzman & Munhall 1989 paper, which is a vital citation for task-dynamics

I'll try to get back to this whenever I'm not dissertating. Beatboxscientist (talk) 23:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
