The relationship between intraoral air pressure and tongue/palate contact during the articulation of norwegian /t/ and /d/

چکیده
Our paper addresses the question of covariation between intraoral air pressure and size of contact area between tongue and palate during the articulation of the Norwegian stop consonants /t/ and /d/. An EPG investigation of the two plosives shows a larger contact area between tongue and palate for /t/ than for /d/. An investigation of intraoral air pressure during the articulation of the two plosives shows higher air pressure for /t/ than for /d/. We suggest that the covariation between intraoral air pressure and contact area between tongue and palate may be accounted for in terms of general phonetic-physiological factors. In order to prevent air from escaping between the tongue and the palate during the closing stage of the plosive, and thus producing a fricative, a larger contact area is needed for the voiceless than for the voiced plosive since the air pressure is stronger for the voiceless than for the voiced plosive.

Effects of voicing on /t, d/ tongue/palate contact in English and norwegian
Our paper addresses the question of cross-linguistic similarities and differences in the articulatory patterns of plosives. An EPG investigation of the English and Norwegian plosives /t/ and /d/ shows a larger contact area between tongue and palate for /t/ than for /d/ in both languages. The investigation also shows a more laminal articulation, larger contact areas, for both plosives in Norwegi...

متن کاملA pressure sensitive palatography: application of new pressure sensitive sheet for measuring tongue-palatal contact pressure
This paper describes a new method for measuring the tonguepalatal contact pressure using a thin pressure sensor and its application for speech research. The new pressure sensor is composed of thin pressure sensitive ink whose electrical resistance is proportional to the physical forces applied to the sensor. Several sensors were arranged on the surface of the palatal plate. This setup was used ...
