Effects of voicing on /t, d/ tongue/palate contact in English and norwegian

چکیده
Our paper addresses the question of cross-linguistic similarities and differences in the articulatory patterns of plosives. An EPG investigation of the English and Norwegian plosives /t/ and /d/ shows a larger contact area between tongue and palate for /t/ than for /d/ in both languages. The investigation also shows a more laminal articulation, larger contact areas, for both plosives in Norwegian compared to English. We suggest that the same general phonetic-physiological factors may explain the larger contact areas for /t/ than for /d/ in both languages. The oral air pressure is stronger during the articulation of /t/ than of /d/. In order to prevent air from escaping between the tongue and the palate, a firmer contact is needed for voiceless than for voiced plosives. The larger contact areas for the Norwegian plosives compared to the English ones are interpreted as the result of different phonological patterns in the two languages.

Our paper addresses the question of covariation between intraoral air pressure and size of contact area between tongue and palate during the articulation of the Norwegian stop consonants /t/ and /d/. An EPG investigation of the two plosives shows a larger contact area between tongue and palate for /t/ than for /d/. An investigation of intraoral air pressure during the articulation of the two pl...
متن کاملEffects of Tongue Plate on the Nasomaxillary Complex of Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate
Background and aim: Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common orofacial abnormalities. Patients with these deformities commonly present with midface deficiency and need challenging treatment modalities that focus on improving the position of the maxilla. Tongue plate appliance is an intraoral device that has shown promising results in the treatment of growing patients with maxillary ...
متن کاملA pressure sensitive palatography: application of new pressure sensitive sheet for measuring tongue-palatal contact pressure
This paper describes a new method for measuring the tonguepalatal contact pressure using a thin pressure sensor and its application for speech research. The new pressure sensor is composed of thin pressure sensitive ink whose electrical resistance is proportional to the physical forces applied to the sensor. Several sensors were arranged on the surface of the palatal plate. This setup was used ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional tongue surface shapes of English consonants and vowels.
This paper presents three-dimensional tongue surfaces reconstructed from multiple coronal cross-sectional slices of the tongue. Surfaces were reconstructed for sustained vocalizations of the American English sounds [symbol: see text]. Electropalatography (EPG) data were also collected for the sounds to compare tongue surface shapes with tongue-palate contact patterns. The study was interested a...

Congenital tumors of the oral cavity are not common.Teratoids are the most common tumors, and in rare cases are associated with cleft soft palate. In this paper a rare case of Epignathus with cleft soft palate, bifida tongue, jaw malocclusion, tongue lipoma, Hypertelorism and low-set ears has been presented. A female infant with a large mass covered with skin and hair arising from hard palate, ...
