Cyclicity in speech derived from call repetition rather than from intrinsic cyclicity of ingestion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 1998
Abstract
The jaw movements of speech are most probably derived from jaw movements associated with vocalisation. Cyclicity does not argue strongly for derivation from a cyclic pattern, because it arises readily in any system with feedback control. The appearance of regular repetition as a part of ritualisation of a display may have been important.
