This study examines the temporal organization of acoustic, articulatory, and aerodynamic events during the production of the segment IV in the following linguistic units: nonsense words, real words, and sentences. The results indicated a clear correlation between articulatory and aerodynamic phenomena. They also pointed out substantial differences across linguistic units and across speakers. From these findings, it was concluded that each speaker adopts different production strategies in different contexts.
