Summary, in English

Facts about the phonotactics and the allophonic behaviour of German /x/ vs /k/ are summarized and discussed concerning the question of categorical vs gradual assimilation. It is concluded that the different allophonic variation of /x/ vs /k/ can more appropriately be described in terms of a difference in articulatory control rather than in assimilation. This difference is associated with a stronger allophonic separation for /x/ than for /k/: /x/ (in contrast to /k/) has allophonic categories which can be described as different speech sounds as perceived by native speakers. It is hypothesized that these allophonic categories are manifested in production through a larger articulatory distance between the most anterior and the most posterior allophone for /x/ than for /k/. The hypothesis is tested successfully by an analysis of /x/ vs /k/ in four subjects using EPG.
