The present paper studies the effects of speech tempo (fast vs. slow), syllable condition (open vs. closed), preceding and following consonants (/b/ vs. /d/ and /b/ vs. /g/) in C-to-V coarticulation in Japanese and English. The results showed strong correlation between C-to-V coarticulation and vowel duration. It was also shown that the preceding consonant exerts stronger effect on the vowel than the following consonant for both Japanese and English.
