Bilabial, alveolar and velar sounds are produced at different locations around the oral cavity. fMRI was used to localize cortical representation of articulation in seven healthy subjects during repetitive lip and vertical tongue movements as well as repetitive articulation of /pa/ (bilabial), /ta/ (alveolar), /ka/ (velar consonants) and a combination of all three in /pataka/. Centers of gravit...

C linical investigators in orthodontics and in speech pathology have conducted research intended to identify relationships between orthodontic and speech variables.12, ID For example, measurements of open-bite have been correlated with measurements of articulation. Also, such variables as lingual posture have been studied as they relate to both orthodontic and articulatory measures. This search...

Objective To analyze speech and linguistic features in children with articulation disorder characterized by consonant and vowel phonological errors. Methods Between February 2007 and June 2015, 117 children who showed articulation disorder were selected for the study. Based on comprehensive speech and language assessments, the subjects were classified into articulation dysfunction (AD), or AD...

The articulation effect refers to a change in lightness contrast induced by adding small patches of different luminances to a uniform background surrounding a target in a lightness contrast display. This study investigated how local luminance signals are integrated to generate the articulation effect. We asked whether spatial organization due to perceptual grouping can influence the articulatio...

Based on the principle of intrinsic motivation self-determination theory, purpose present research was to unearth effect meaningful leadership followers’ positive emotional well-being indirectly through work. The following 665 workers were recruited from varied organizations and surveyed 3 times over a period one month. To test current study’s hypotheses, we checked whether work explained leade...

______________________________________________________ Dialectal Effect on Articulation Rate in French This paper compares the articulation rate of 3 distinct varieties of French: Parisian French (hereafter PA); Swiss French spoken in Neuchâtel (hereafter NE) and French spoken by Swiss German speakers (hereafter CH) who have been living in a French speaking environment (in Neuchâtel) for 20 yea...

Bangla phoneme inventory consists of 32 consonants out of those 16 are stop or plosive and 4 are affricate. This paper presents the detailed investigation of place and manner of articulation of Bengali phonemes. The place of articulation study of consonants is based on Electropalatography (EPG) system and the manner of articulation study is based on acoustic study of large number of well-spoken...

Based on an empirical study of articulation work in a health care setting this paper discusses core characteristics of articulation work in large settings. We argue that articulation work in large-scale settings is characterized by a dual nature, especially by a duality between articulation handled internally in a local work arrangement and articulation activities undertaken across boundaries o...

Detecting mispronunciations produced by non-native speakers and providing detailed instructive feedbacks are desired in computer assisted pronunciation training system (CAPT), as it is helpful to L2 learners to improve their pronunciation more effectively. In this paper, we present our preliminary study on detecting phonetic segmental mispronunciations on account of the erroneous articulation t...

In this study, the adaptation of patients to removable partial dentures was evaluated related to articulation of Turkish phonemes. Articulation of /t,d.n,l,r/, /g,k/, /b,p,m/ and /s,z,ş,v,f,y,j,h,c/ phonemes were evaluated by three speech pathologists, on records taken from 15 patients before the insertion of a removable partial denture, just after insertion, and one week later. The test consis...
