Palatal Activity in Voicing Distinctions: A Simultaneous Fiberoptic and Electromyographic Study
Bell-Berti, Fredericka; Hirose, Hajime
Journal of Phonetics, 3, 1, 69-74, Jan 75
A study of electromyographic (EMG) activity and palatal movement is reported. Motion pictures were taken of the nasal surface of the soft palate and EMG recordings from the levator palatini muscle were obtained. Both were analyzed for the relationship of velar height to EMG strength and time. (SC)
