Abstract
Research issues of speech production are discussed assuming that speech is organized based on crucial articulatory gestures, relating the phonological representation of a sentence to a physical utterance with certain information added to the lexicosyntactic specifications. It is argued that recent progress in both phonological theory and experimental methods of recording and processing articulatory gestures substantiates a radical departure from the traditional linguistic view that speech is organized by concatenating phonemic segments.
