The Phonetic Status of the Labial Flap
نویسندگان
چکیده
The labial flap is a speech sound which has received little attention in the literature. In this paper, we document the articulation of the sound, including audio and video data from Mono (D.R. Congo, Ubangian). The sound is attested in over sixty languages and has been incorporated into the phonological system of at least a dozen of them. The sound is easily describable in terms of values of phonological features or phonetic parameters, and it appears to have arisen independently in at least two regions of the world. These factors argue for the inclusion of the sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Single-stage reconstruction for buccal mucosa tumor resection including the labial commissure using a facial artery musculomucosal flap and a vermilion advancement flap
Resection of buccal mucosa tumors may occasionally involve the labial angle and peripheral skin. Reconstruction is required when the resection involves more than one-third of the lip. We describe a single-stage reconstruction using a facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flap and a vermilion advancement flap after buccal mucosa resection including the labial angle. A 62-year-old woman with carcin...

متن کاملLabial reconstruction with a cross-labial flap.
Overzealous resection of the labia minorum is a significant complication of labioplasty. Knowledge and understanding of reconstructive plastic surgical principles are required to manage such challenging complications. We report a case of iatrogenic labial asymmetry that was reconstructed with a cross-labial flap.
