This study reveals that tongue-jaw coordination for German consonants like /s/, /f/, /t/, /d/, /n/, and /l/ differs based on articulation manner. These coordination patterns remain stable even with increased vocal effort.

Area of Science:

  • Phonetics
  • Articulatory Phonology
  • Speech Production

Background:

  • Articulatory coordination is essential for speech production.
  • Temporal coordination between articulators, like the tongue and jaw, follows specific patterns.
  • Understanding these patterns is key to modeling speech and diagnosing speech disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze tongue-jaw temporal coordination for German coronal consonants.
  • To investigate how manner of articulation influences this coordination.
  • To assess the stability of coordination patterns under varying vocal effort.

Main Methods:

  • Electromagnetic midsagittal articulography (EMMA) recorded tongue and jaw movements.
  • Five German speakers produced [aCa] sequences with consonants /s/, /f/, /t/, /d/, /n/, /l/.

  • Vocal effort was varied between comfortable and loud conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Tongue-jaw coordination differed significantly based on articulation manner (stops vs. fricatives, nasal, lateral).
    • Coordination patterns remained stable across different vocal effort levels.
    • Sibilants showed reduced variability in latencies and target positions.
    • Jaw position adjustments in loud speech occurred during movement, not target phases.

    Conclusions:

    • Manner of articulation is a key factor in tongue-jaw temporal coordination.
    • Vocal effort does not disrupt established coordination patterns.
    • Speech production exhibits robust and adaptable articulatory timing mechanisms.
