Articulatory variability during consonant production by Greek speakers with hearing impairment: an electropalatographic study

Abstract: This study uses the technique of electropalatography to investigate lingual-palatal contact patterns during the production of the consonants /t, k, s, x, n, l, [symbol: see text] by four Greek speakers with profound hearing impairment and with differences in the intelligibility of their speech. The study provides a detailed description of their tongue-palate contact patterns and discusses some of the articulatory parameters that differentiate consonantal articulation between speakers with normal hearing and he… Show more

“…Newton (1972:10) describes it as dental; Joseph & Phillipaki-Warburton (1987) classify it as apicodental, while according to Mackridge (1987), the place of articulation of [s] is relatively anterior and can vary depending on context. Panagopoulos (1991) Nicolaidis (2001Nicolaidis ( , 2004: examination of her data shows that the constriction for Greek [s] involves the second and third row of electrodes (e.g. Nicolaidis 2001:71), while English data obtained in similar environments (e.g., Zsiga 1995) show a maximum constriction involving the first two rows of electrodes instead.…”

“…Beyond that, only the articulation of [n] has been examined in some detail, and it has been shown to be that of an alveolar consonant, which is, however, susceptible to coarticulatory influences particularly from following vowels, so that its articulation can range from apical when followed by /i/ to retracted alveolar before /a/ and /u/ (Nicolaidis 2001(Nicolaidis , 2004. In addition, Nicolaidis (2001) notes that [n] is frequently lenited in spontaneous speech: 23% of [n]s from one of her speakers and 13% of [n]s from the other showed incomplete closure and significantly reduced duration (lenited [n]s had 56% of the duration of [n]s with complete closure for the speaker who showed more lenition, and 26% for the speaker who showed less lenition).…”

“…Coarticulation is an index of adult‐like motor coordination (Daniloff and Moll 1968; Nolan et al. 1996; Nicolaidis 2004) and provides important cues to listeners in the perception of normal speech. The coarticulatory effects of adjacent vowels on velar consonants are reported to be relatively large in normal adult speech production (Butcher 1989).…”

“…Crawford suggests that this non‐generalisation is a corollary to increased length of closure duration for consonantal targets treated with EPG visual feedback therapy. Nicolaidis (2004) describes some deaf speech as concatenated rather than co‐articulated. Fine‐grained articulatory detail captured by EPG is capable of disclosing important information about motor coordination or coarticulation.…”

“…His production of these consonants was perceptually inconsistent due to placement errors. Such variability in relation to place of articulation in deaf speakers is reported elsewhere (e.g., Nicolaidis, 2004). In M's speech, based on perceptual judgments, alveolar plosives were occasionally perceived as accurate alveolar approximations, though they were generally perceived as velar plosives.…”
