Abstract
Research has shown that speech acquired in profound hearing loss presents differences on both the segmental and the suprasegmental levels compared with normal hearing speech. Recent studies focus on the dynamic aspects of hearing impaired speech, i.e., coarticulation as coproduction of gestures, but findings are variable. Although this issue has received a lot of attention in the English literature, phonetic research in Greek is still scant, this being the first study of coarticulation in Greek hearing impaired speech.
