Good job overall in explaining the phenomenon of coarticulation, Jfcreaghan. You gave a clear and concise explanation.

There are many words throughout that should be linked to increase accessibility for people of different knowledge backgrounds or reading skill level. For example, in the lead section, it may be more accessible to students with various levels of knowledge if you link the word "phonological" to the phonology page on Wikipedia.

Under the history section, who are Menzerath and de Lacerda? It would helpful if you let readers know what expertise they have to be an authority on the subject. For example, are they linguists or cognitive psychologists?

Check the last citation under "Early evolutionary approach".

Italics can be used more frequently throughout to put emphasis on key words for each paragraph. For example, "extent" and "direction of influence" under "Explanation and Theory" can be italicized for emphasis. This would make the page easier for students and the general public to read.Fchu6 (talk) 20:29, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

This was a well written article. It had a great organized layout,very informative and interesting. However, I agree with the above review, in that I found the writing terminology to be a bit advanced for those who wouldn't have a lot of knowledge in this area, or have as high of reading level. This is where I would focus on improving the article so it doesn't read like a scientific article, and then points can be further explained.

In the "Evolutionary Perspectives" section I would have liked to see some dates added as to when evolutionary approaches occurred. How recent were these approaches? If not recent, who is currently doing work in this area, or are there any new approaches in the works? The reference in the "Early evolutionary approach" needs to be fixed.

The added video was a nice touch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eyelet16 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
