Interarticulator Programming in Speech Production
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents some issues in interarticulator programming in speech production, using as an example the production of a vowel, a bilabial stop consonant, and a vowel. The mechanism for making the labial closure is presented as well as the control of the duration of the closure. An examination of the coordination of the tongue movement from the first to the second vowel with the lip movements for the consonant shows that most of the tongue movement occurs during the oral closure. Finally, the coordination of oral and laryngeal gestures in voiceless consonant production is discussed.

Interarticulator programming in obstruent production.
Most work on speech motor control has been devoted to the spatial and temporal coordination of articulatory movements for successive units, segments or syllables, in the speech chain. An intrasegmental temporal domain has generally been lacking in speech production models, but such a domain is necessary at least for certain classes of speech sounds, e.g., voiceless obstruents, clicks, ejectives...
متن کاملLaryngeal Activity in Icelandic
Laryngeal activity in the production of voiceless obstruents and obstruent clusters in Icelandic was investigated by the combined techniques of transillumination and fiberoptic filming of the larynx. Contrasts of preaspirated , unaspirated, and postaspirated voiceless stops were found to be produced basically by differences in laryngeal-oral timing. During clusters of voiceless obstruents, one ...
متن کاملIndividual differences in vowel production.
It is often assumed that a relatively small set of articulatory features are universally used in language sound systems. This paper presents a study which tests this assumption. The data are x-ray microbeam pellet trajectories during the production of the vowels of American English by five speakers. Speakers were consistent with themselves from one production of a word to the next, but the arti...

Producing (n) requires a lingual constriction to be formed and the velopharyngeal port (VPP) to be opened. This study examined interarticulator timing in the speech of adults and children aged 5 and 10 years. A new acoustic method was developed to determine the time at which VPP opening began during vowels spoken in the context of (d-n), and VPP closing reached completion in vowels spoken in th...
متن کاملForward Dynamics Modeling of Speech Motor Control Using Physiological Data
We propose a paradigm for modeling speech production based on neural networks. We focus on characteristics of the musculoskeletal system. Using real physiological data articulator movements and EMG from muscle activitya neural network learns the forward dynamics relating motor commands to muscles and the ensuing articulator behavior. After learning, simulated perturbations, were used to asses p...
