Electromagnetic Articulography in Coarticulation Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of the basic methodological issues relevant to the use of electromagnetic articulography in experimental phonetics. The following topics are covered: measurement principle, sources of error, environmental conditions, combination with other equipment, disturbances to the subjects' speech, safety. Finally, an example is given of how this technique can provide new information on lingual articulation even within the framework of a very simple coarticulation paradigm.

Articulatory measures of planned and unplanned coarticulation
The extent and sources of coarticulation remain an active topic of research. Whalen [18] found that vowel-to-vowel coarticulation occurred even when the utterance was initiated before an intervening consonant’s identity was known. Here, we address vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in the articulatory domain, replicating [18]. Spoken English nonsense strings [əәˈbVCɑ] were recorded with electromagne...
متن کاملUsing sensor orientation information for computational head stabilisation in 3d electromagnetic articulography (EMA)
We propose a new simple algorithm to make use of the sensor orientation information in 3D Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) for computational head stabilisation. The algorithm also provides a well-defined procedure in the case where only two sensors are available for head motion tracking and allows for the combining of position coordinates and orientation angles for head stabilisation with a...
متن کاملAnnouncing the Electromagnetic Articulography (Day 1) Subset of the family mngu0 Articulatory Corpus
This paper serves as an initial announcement of the availability of a corpus of articulatory data called mngu0. This corpus will ultimately consist of a collection of multiple sources of articulatory data acquired from a single speaker: electromagnetic articulography (EMA), audio, video, volumetric MRI scans, and 3D scans of dental impressions. This data will be provided free for research use. ...
متن کاملAcoustic and articulatory manifestations of vowel reduction in German
Recent phonological approaches incorporate phonetic principles in the motivation of phonological regularities, e.g. vowel reduction and neutralization in unstressed position by target undershoot. So far, evidence for this hypothesis is based on impressionistic and acoustic data but not on articulatory data. The major goal of this study is to compare formant spaces and lingual positions during t...
متن کاملReliability of electromagnetic articulography recording during speaking sequences.
For the development of malocclusions and speech disorders, major aetiological significance is attributed to orofacial malfunctions, especially of the tongue. The position of the tongue to the alveolar arch and teeth, particularly within the area of the tip of the tongue, is of special interest for orthodontists. Electromagnetic articulography is a new technique used to examine tongue function a...
