Analysing Tongue Shape and Movement in Vowel Production Using SS ANOVA in Ultrasound Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using ultrasound technique, this study revealed certain previously undocumented tongue behaviours of Mandarin vowels /a/, /i/ and /u/. The results were achieved by using a modified SS ANOVA method that was capable of analyzing and comparing simultaneously three or more objects (e.g., vowels) in ultrasound imaging. Also developed and used was a correction method to compensate for jaw rotation.

Comparing tongue shapes from ultrasound imaging using smoothing spline analysis of variance.
Ultrasound imaging of the tongue is increasingly common in speech production research. However, there has been little standardization regarding the quantification and statistical analysis of ultrasound data. In linguistic studies, researchers may want to determine whether the tongue shape for an articulation under two different conditions (e.g., consonants in word-final versus word-medial posit...

This paper demonstrates the use of smoothing spline ANOVA and T tests to analyze whether the influence of syllable final consonants on the preceding vowel differs for articulation and acoustics. The onset of vowels either followed by phrase-final /r/ or by phrase-initial /r/ is compared for two Scottish English speakers. To measure articulatory differences of opposing vowel pairs, smoothing spl...

This paper examines the acoustic and articulatory aspects of vowel production in Ningbo Chinese. Frequency results show that ten normal-length vowels can be well distinguished by four levels of vowel height and two levels of vowel backness in an acoustic F1/F2 plane. Acquired EMA data show that there is no clear correlation between vowel height and articulatory parameters. Results from a PARAFA...

Four adolescents with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing losses and moderately unintelligible speech participated in a 14-week speech therapy study using two dynamic visual feedback technologies, electropalatography and ultrasound imaging. Electropalatography provides information about tongue-hard palate contact points. Ultrasound displays images of tongue shape and movement in two dimens...

Objective: One of the parameters showing the correct phonetic and phonological development is the correct and clear articulation of vowels is achieved by changing the shape of vocal cords through altering the height and position of the tongue and the movement of the lips and jaw. The tongue’s height and position are the basis of the production and difference of vowels. In other words, the raw s...
