Determination of velum opening for French nasal vowels by magnetic resonance imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
MRI techniques have been used to describe velum opening of French vowels. Data based on 18 joined axial slices of 4 mm thickness were recorded with four subjects. Differences in velum opening are calculated from areas measured in the tract between the lowered velum and the back pharynx wall. Results show that for all subjects, the back vowel [symbol: see text] has the smallest opening, while some variations are observed for the other vowels.

Velic coordination in French nasals: a real-time magnetic resonance imaging study
Production of nasal vowels in French, and nasal consonants in French and English, was examined using real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI). The coordination of velic and lingual gestures was found to be tightly controlled across different prosodic contexts in French nasals. Velum lowering in English nasal consonants did not show the same control, although the timing of the corresponding ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance measurements of the velum port opening
M.R.I. techniques have been used to describe velum opening of French vowels. Data based on 18 joined axial slices of 4 mm thickness were recorded with two subjects. Differences in vclum opening are calculated from areas measured in the tract between the lowered velum and the back pharynx wall. A 3 D modelling of this tract is also proposed.
متن کاملGestural coordination of Brazilian Portugese nasal vowels in CV syllables: A real-time MRI study
The coordination of velum and lingual gestures for Brazilian Portuguese nasal vowels in CV syllables is studied with real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rt-MRI). Four syllable structures were compared: stop-oral vowel, stop-nasal vowel, nasal-oral vowel, nasal-nasal vowel. Results show near-synchrony timing (in-phase) for the consonant onset and nasal vowel’s lingual onset, and for the conson...
متن کاملThe role of the pharynx and tongue in enhancement of vowel nasalization: a real-time MRI investigation of French nasal vowels
Complexity in the acoustics of nasal vowels has long been acknowledged but complexity in their articulation has received less attention. A growing body of research suggests that velopharyngeal (VP) opening is complemented by other articulatory gestures which may enhance or counteract the acoustic outcomes of VP opening. In this paper we consider the role of pharyngeal aperture and lingual posit...
متن کاملVelar Movements for Two French Speakers
This study compares velar movements for nasal vowels and consonants; it investigates contextual nasalisation; and it provides new data on how nasalisation is affected by speech rate. Velar position is measured with an electromagnetic articulatograph (EMA) for two French speakers. Our results confirm that (i) nasal vowels are produced with a lower velum height than nasal consonants; (ii) the con...
