F2 data on VCV coarticulation indicate the cooccurrence of C-to-V and V-to-V anticipation (e.g., in VCV sequences with dark /l/ and /i/) and of C-to-V and V-to-V carryover (e.g., in VCV sequences with alveolopalatal /n/ and /a/). They are interpreted in support of the biomechanicoinertial constraints for the consonantal gesture ruling the direction of vocalic coarticulation.
