Abstract: In our commentary, we offer some support for the view that frequency rather than a language-independent definition of complexity is a main factor determining speech production in healthy adults. We further discuss the limits of defining articulatory complexity based on transcription data. If we want to gauge the impact of substantive constraints on speech production, context-specific production dynamics should be considered, as has been underscored by articulatory–acoustic work on speech errors.
