Pharyngeal constrictions.

چکیده
From a fiberscope, the tip of which was swung from left to right in the pharynx, cinefilm frames were obtained which showed the cross-sectional shape of pharyngeal constrictions in back vowels. This information was combined with the information offered by X-ray pictures of the same subject phonating the same vowels on a different occasion. The results agree to a reasonable extent with previously published data obtained by different techniques, and support previous hypotheses regarding distance-to-area conversion in the pharyngeal region of the vocal tract.

Using magnetic resonance to image the pharynx during Arabic speech: Static and dynamic aspects
Magnetic resonance imaging has been applied only recently to the study of Arabic speech production. Arabic has a relatively large number of sounds produced with constrictions in the pharynx, a part of the vocal anatomy well-suited to investigation using MRI. We show that static 3D MRI techniques can be useful in distinguishing the pharyngeal sounds of Arabic and that average pixel intensity in ...
متن کاملDevelopment of [j] in young, midwestern, American children.
Beginning at the age of about 14 months, eight children who lived in a rhotic dialect region of the United States were recorded approximately every 2 months interacting with their parents. All were recorded until at least the age of 26 months, and some until the age of 31 months. Acoustic analyses of speech samples indicated that these young children acquired [inverted r] production ability at ...
متن کاملArticulation of English vowels in running speech: A real-time MRI study
16,105 vowels produced by three speakers of American English were examined using real-time MRI, to provide further insights into tongue shaping and articulatory contrast in stressed and unstressed positions in fluent speech. High front vowels were found to maintain characteristic lingual postures in prosodically weak environments. Non-high vowels were articulated with a more raised dorsum and d...
متن کاملFrom a Closed Piecewise Geodesic to a Constriction on a Closed Triangulated Surface
Constrictions on a surface are defined as simple closed curves whose length is locally minimal. In particular, constrictions are periodic geodesics. We use constrictions in order to segment objects. In [4], we proposed an approach based on progressive surface simplification and local geodesic computation. The drawback of this approach is that constrictions are approximated by closed piecewise g...
متن کاملCotransmission from sympathetic vasoconstrictor neurons to small cutaneous arteries in vivo.
This study has characterized constrictions of small cutaneous arteries in the guinea pig ear in response to electrical stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve (SNS) in vivo. Video microscopy and on-line image analysis were used to examine diameter changes of ear arteries (80-140 μm resting diameter) in anesthetized guinea pigs. Trains of 50-300 impulses, but not single pulses or short tra...
