This work presents results of an EMMA study of the articulatory phasing between successive /k/ and /t/ gestures in English tautosyllabic ("pact op") and heterosyllabic ("pack top") contexts, varied by speaking rate and stress. Although subjects responded idiosyncratically, in general coda clusters are shown to be significantly less variable in timing than heterosyllabic sequences relative to the labial gestures of the carrier context.
