The purpose of the study is to introduce a new Model of Coarticulation, namely, Degree of Articulatory Dispersion. This paper reviews the Models of Coarticulation, and then the validity of the Degree of Articulatory Dispersion is proved by finding the correlation between the dispersion of DAD and the slope of LEM in the four groups of Monguor consonants classified by the manner of articulation. The finding shows that there is a significant negative correlation between the dispersion of DAD and the slope of LEM. Therefore, Degree of Articulatory Dispersion can be a valid Model of Coarticulation to measure the degree of coarticulation.
