Supplemental material for the study

C. Kleiner, C. Mooshammer, M. Belz, and P. Birkholz, "Timing of tongue body movements in V1-C-V2 sequences with respect to segment boundaries in German," The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, submitted,

where realizations of V1-C-V2 sequences were recorded with electromagnetic articulography (EMA) to analyze the onset and offset times of tongue body movements between the vowels V1 and
V2 relative to the acoustic interval of the consonant C by a Gaussian fit to the tangential velocity over time. For this, the consonants /?,m,f,p,pf/, which do not require specific tongue movements, and the vowels /a,i,o/ were considered.

There are the following two files:

1. "analysis_result.txt"

Results from the analysis of the V1-C-V2 sequences. The analysis was carried out with a custom graphical user interface in Matlab. The list contains one sequence per line with the following entries:

subject: subject id (vp01=F1, vp02=M1, vp04=F2, vp05=M2)
gender: subject gender
trial_no: trial number of EMA experiment
v1: vowel V1
c: consonant C (glott=?)
v2: vowel V2 (diphthongs ei, au, eu unused)
emph: emphasis on V1 (emph1) or V2 (emph2)
rate: speaking rate (slow unused)
v1_duration_s: V1 duration in seconds
c_duration_s: C duration in seconds
v2_duration_s: V2 duration in seconds
vmax_mm_per_s: speed maximum of the V1-V2 transition in millimeters per seond, unused
dt_max_s: relative time of speed maximum (relative to the acoustic boundary between C and V2), unused
dt_onset_s: relative onset time in seconds
dt_offset_s: relative offset time in seconds
b_mm: movement range in millimeters
phi_rad: main movement direction in radians
error_pct: normalized model error in percent

See Table 1, Figure 2 and Equation (1) from paper.

2. "script.r"

R script to generate the plots and carry out the statistical analyses in the paper. The file "analysis_result.txt" is loaded and must be located in the same directory.
