REAL TIME MRI AND ARTICULATORY COORDINATIONS IN VOWELS (original) (raw)
This paper describes the use of a real time MRI technique to study the coordination of articulatory movements during the production of vowels. The technique was also applied to study articulatory compensations during bite block experiments (Demolin et al. 1997). One of the main interest of this technique is to allow a detailed spatial description of the main articulators (lip protrusion and opening, jaw opening and retraction, dorsum position, velum opening, larynx height and tongue root advancement) during the production of a sequence of vowels. The technique is also applicable to study the coarticulation of consonants and vowels, but because it is still not possible to obtain a satisfactory sound coordination and because the frame interval is still a bit slow, this question will not be treated in this paper. Measurement accuracy on real time images is evaluated by comparison with similar measurements on static MR images.
