The jaw actively influences speech, particularly in producing German coronal consonants. Jaw position stability across vocal efforts highlights its role, except for nasals, revealing articulatory adjustments in speech.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Speech Science
  • Articulatory Phonetics

Background:

  • The jaw's role in vowel production is established.
  • Its specific contribution to consonantal distinctions, especially coronal consonants, requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the jaw's activity in producing German coronal consonants (/s, f, t, d, n, l/).
  • To compare tongue tip and jaw positions for consonants differing in manner of articulation but sharing active articulators.
  • To assess the stability of articulatory positions under varying vocal effort.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Electromagnetic Midsagittal Articulography (EMMA) to record tongue and jaw movements.
  • Recorded five German speakers producing /aCa/ sequences at comfortable and loud vocal efforts.

  • Analyzed tongue tip and jaw positions and their spatial variability.

    • Main Results:

    • The jaw's contribution to coronal consonants varies depending on the manner of articulation.
    • Articulatory positions for most coronal consonants remained stable across vocal effort levels.
    • Nasal consonants showed instability in jaw and tongue positions at louder vocal efforts.

    Conclusions:

    • The jaw's active role extends to consonantal distinctions, varying with manner.
    • Articulatory stability is generally maintained at louder vocal efforts, with nasals being an exception.
    • Findings offer insights into jaw function and articulatory adjustments during speech production.
