Recent instrumental work has focused on finding phonetic correlates
of intervocalic consonants' syllabic affiliation. The importance of
lexical stress as a determining factor word internally has been either
acknowledged (Turk, 1980) or suggested (Nolan, 1994). There is much work in word internal
contexts, but limited work across word boundaries. I examined word
final intervocalic [ɹ] in non-rhotic English speech, with
Electro-magnetic Articulography (EMA) using car out and peer out
for stimuli, varying the emphatic stress environment. For two speakers,
the lingual articulators moved more rapidly in the transition from
word final [ɹ] to the following vowel when the word following
