Has a split tongue one or two tongue tips during articulation?
نویسنده
چکیده
Towards the end of the 1990s a new trend in the culture of body modification arose: tongue splitting. The result of this body modification is a tongue tip split into two parts. The present paper reports a single-case study of articulation by a subject who underwent tongue bifurcation. We find that movement direction and the tongue’s acceleration/deceleration behavior affected the degree of displacement of the right tongue tip relative to the left tongue tip. Potential explanations are discussed.
