In this paper, we draw on available data from previous experiments to explore cross-linguistic variation in articulatory overlap in CC onset clusters, taking into account the role of cluster composition. Our sample includes articulography recordings of eleven clusters for seven languages. We find that cross-linguistic variability is conditional on cluster composition. Previous suggestions that languages may have individual global articulatory timing profiles for consonant clusters in terms of an overall relatively lower or higher degree of overlap are not confirmed for our sample. All included languages converge on a relatively higher degree of overlap for some of the clusters, whereas only some of the languages additionally extend into the lower overlap range, particularly for stop-sonorant sequences. Manner and voicing are further identified as factors conditioning variation in consonantal overlap. Overall languages differ in their degree of overlap in multi-faceted ways, but the relative effects of cluster composition work in the same direction across languages.

在本文中，我们利用先前实验的可用数据来探索 CC 起始簇中发音重叠的跨语言变化，同时考虑到簇组成的作用。我们的样本包括七种语言的十一个集群的关节记录。我们发现跨语言变异性取决于集群组成。对于我们的样本，之前关于语言可能具有整体相对较低或较高重叠程度的辅音簇的单独全局发音时序配置文件的建议并未得到证实。对于某些集群，所有包含的语言都集中在相对较高程度的重叠上，而只有一些语言额外扩展到较低的重叠范围，特别是对于停止响音序列。方式和发音被进一步确定为调节辅音重叠变化的因素。整体语言在多方面的重叠程度不同，但集群组合的相对影响在不同语言中的作用方向相同。
