![]() Flege concludes from a large-scale study that more vowels were fully nasalized in the /nVd/ context than in the /dVn/ conclude that in English nasalization is a phonological effect-as if a vowel followed by a nasal coda became, implemented as such by the speaker : the extent of anticipatory nasalization increases as the rate of speech decreases. ![]() The interpretation of an earlier onset of velar lowering as coarticulation of the nasal consonant is considered as unfounded by Bell-Berti: the reason why velic lowering occurs at vowel onset could simply be because the velum is lower during vowels than during consonants (this is verified in other articulatory studies, though not always visible ).
