Understanding how universal and language-specific coarticulation may promote different perceptual patterns is fundamental to phonological theory as it may help explain why the same sound sequence may have different outcomes in different languages. This paper examines the production of /sr/ sequences in Italian and compares it with previous findings from different varieties of Spanish. The aim is to show how language-specific coarticulatory patterns may parallel historical outcomes.

Abstract
Understanding how universal and language-specific coarticulation may promote different perceptual patterns is fundamental to phonological theory as it may help explain why the same sound sequence may have different outcomes in different languages. This paper examines the production of /sr/ sequences in Italian and compares it with previous findings from different varieties of Spanish. The aim is to show how language-specific coarticulatory patterns may parallel historical outcomes.
