Purpose: The oral structures such as the tongue and lips have remarkable somatosensory
capacities, but understanding the roles of somatosensation in speech production requires a …

This book explores the nature of cognitive representations and processes in speech motor
control, based primarily on evidence from speech timing. It engages with the key question of …

This chapter discusses current laboratory techniques that measure the oral vocal tract during
speech. The focus is on instruments that measure the articulators directly and indirectly …

Due to its aerodynamic, articulatory, and acoustic complexities, the fricative/s/is known to
require high precision in its control, and to be highly resistant to coarticulation. This study …

Studies of normal and disordered articulatory movement often rely on the use of short,
simple speech tasks. However, the severity of speech disorders can be observed to vary …

Many adolescents and adults with Down syndrome have reduced speech intelligibility.
Reasons for this reduction may relate to differences in anatomy and physiology, both of …

First and second formant histories have been used in studies of both normal and disordered
speech to indirectly measure the activity of the vocal tract. The purpose of the present study …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate how speaking clearly influences selected
acoustic and orofacial kinematic measures associated with diphthong production. Method …

This work investigates laryngeal and supralaryngeal correlates of the voicing contrast in
alveolar obstruent production in German. It further studies laryngealoral co-ordination …

The purpose of the current investigation was to examine a statistical approach to
differentiating shorter silent intervals (eg, stop gaps) from longer silent intervals (eg, pause) …
