The current study explores how different types of external sandhi in French affect the temporal coordination of gestures. Specifically, we examine the temporal coordination of three different types of CV in French (Onset CV, Enchaînement CV, and Liaison CV) at normal and fast speech rates. The results from this articulatory study revealed that the three different types of CV display the same pattern with respect to their temporal measures (C duration, gestural overlap between C and V, lag between C and V onsets, and lag between C and V targets), at both speech rates. Moreover, the effect of C duration on target-to-target lag is uniform across the different types of CV in French. These results suggest that the CV coordination driven by external sandhi in French exhibits the same coordination (in-phase) as true onset CV.
