Recursion [1] (or indentation [2] ) in phonetics is the final phase in the process of articulating the sound of speech , following an excursion (attack) and endurance .
The term "recursion" comes from lat. recursus 'return' [3] .
During recursion, the pronunciation organs of speech move to the position necessary to produce the next sound, or to the neutral position [1] [2] .
The relative motion of the articulating organs is usually characteristic of the recursion stage (while at the holding stage, their position remains relatively stable). With regard to noisy consonants, differences in the nature of recursion determine their division into separate types: explosive consonants , affricates, and fricative consonants ( implosive consonants are a unique kind of explosive consonants , when the articulation of which there is no recursion phase at all [4] ). In the stream of speech, the recursion of the previous sound and the excursion of the next have a mutual influence on each other, often overlapping each other; such an overlap, for example, takes place in the word squeeze , when pronouncing which the recursion of sound [d] (spelling "d") is combined with the excursion of sound [ž] (spelling "g") [5] .
You can also prove the relationship between the recursion of the previous and the excursion of the subsequent sounds by comparing the sound of the same phonemes in different phonetic environments; for example, for each of the syllables “ op ”, “ ro ” and “ mouth ”, the corresponding allophone of sound [o] ends differently. The physiological explanation of the described relationship is that by the end of pronouncing a certain sound, the speech organs begin to take the position necessary for pronouncing the next sound, which makes speech coherent.
