Speaker-Specific Kinematic Properties of Alveolar Reductions in English and German
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Kuhnert, Barbara; Hoole, Phil – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
A simultaneous EPG/EMA study of tongue gestures of five speakers was conducted to investigate the kinematic events accompanying alveolar stop reductions in the context of a velar plosive /k/ and in the context of a laryngeal fricative /h/ in two languages, English and German. No systematic language differences could be detected. Alveolar…

Functional Segments in Tongue Movement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Stone, Maureen; Epstein, Melissa A.; Iskarous, Khalil – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
The tongue is a deformable object, and moves by compressing or expanding local functional segments. For any single phoneme, these functional tongue segments may move in similar or opposite directions, and may reach target maximum synchronously or not. This paper will discuss the independence of five proposed segments in the production of speech.…
