Speech production requires control for coordination among different articulatory organs. During the natural speech, the articulatory co-variation is more common rather than compensation, but the studies supporting this view are few. In this study, the coordination of lip and tongue articulation was examined during speech using articulatory data. Native speakers of Chinese served as subjects. Speech materials consisted of short Chinese sentences, which include words having the cardinal vowels at different locations in sentences with and without emphasis.
