“…21 Similar results were obtained in an electropalatographic study of the dental/alveolar contrast in KiMvita Swahili (Hayward, Omar, and Goesche, 1989). We might suggest that dentals tend to be more stable because of a relatively high tongue position, a property which they would share with palatals.…”

It is very possible that there is a good deal of individual variation in this regard.…”

The present paper describes a palatographic investigation of Javanese coronal stops. Javanese exhibits stop consonants at both dental and alveolar places of articulation. In the current roman orthography, the dentals are represented by the single letterst, d, while the alveolars are represented by the digraphsth, dh. Thus, for example,titik[titI?] ‘full stop’ contrasts withthithik[titI?] ‘a little’.

“…The wide applicability of the technique and its usefulness as a tool in phonetic descriptive work is reflected in the range of phenomena that have been researched in recent years. Areas include: the articulatory characterisation of lingual fricative production (Wolf, Fletcher, McCutcheon & Hasegawa, 1976; Hardcastle & Clark, 1981; Hoole, Ziegler, Hartmann & Hardcastle, 1989); aspects of co-articulation in a variety of languages including English (Hardcastle & Roach, 1977;Butcher, 1989;Wright & Kerswill, 1989), German (Butcher & Weiher, 1.976), Japanese (Miyawaki, Kiritani, Tatsumi & Fujimura, 1974), Catalan (Recasens, 1984a(Recasens, ,b, 1989, French (Marchal, 1988) and Italian (Farnetani, Vagges & Magno-Caldonetto, 1985;Farnetani, 1990); the 'instability' of word-final alveolar stops in English and German (Kohler & Hardcastle, 1974;Kohler, 1976); articulatory dynamics of egressive and implosive stops in Shona (Hardcastle & Brasington, 1978); dental and alveolar stops in Kimvita Swahili (Hayward, Omar & Goesche, 1989); palatalisation and palatal consonants in Estonian (Eek, 1973), Catalan (Recasens, 1984c) and Japanese (Matsuno, 1989); symmetry of lingual gestures in English (Hamlet, Bunnell & Struntz, 1986), in Japanese (Hiki & Imaizumi, 1974), in French (Marchal & Espesser, 1989) and in Italian (Farnetani, 1988); 'emphatic' consonants in Sudanese colloquial Arabic (Ahmed, 1984); 'force of articulation' in French (Marchal, Courville & Belanger, 1980); 'vocalised' /1/ in English ; articulatory correlates of voicing (Palmer, 1973;Farnetani, 1989); and general lingual articulatory dynamics (Recasens, 1989).…”

S The technique of electropalatography (EPG) records the location and timing of tongue contacts with the hard palate during continuous speech. Recent developments in hardware and software design of the Reading electropalatograph are described and applications of the technique in assessment and remediation of a variety of speech disorders are outlined. In assessment, it is shown that EPG can provide insights into possible origins of auditorily perceived errors, and case descriptions illustrate how this information can lead to a more rationalised approach to treatment. In therapy, the provision of real‐time visual feedback of tongue movement can be effective in the remediation of certain types of intractable speech problems. Finally, the importance of techniques such as EPG in the objective evaluation of treatment procedures is discussed in the light of the increasing demand for accountability within the speech therapy service. La technique de l'electropalatographie (EPG) permet d'enregistrer la position du lieu de contact entre la langue et le palais pendant la parole. Le développement récent en hardware et software de l'EPG est décrit dans cet article et des applications de cette technique pour l'évaluation et la rééducation de différents troubles de la parole sont présentées. Pour l'évaluation, il est montré que l'EPG peut aider à trouver des explications aux erreurs perçues à l'oreille, et la description de cas illustre comment ces données peuvent mener à une approche du traitement plus rationnelle. En thérapie, la présentation en temps réel d'un retour visuel du mouvement de la langue peut être efficace pour certains types de troubles de la parole intraitables. Finalement, l'importance des techniques telles que l'EPG dans l'évaluation objective des procédures de traitement est discutée à la lumière de l'exigence croissante pour plus de rationnalité dans les services d'orthophonie. Die Elektropalatografie (EPG) ermöglicht die Aufnahme der Stelle und die Zeitabmessung der Zungenkontakte mit dem Gaumen beim laufenden Sprechen. Wir beschreiben neuere Entwicklungen im Hard‐ und Software der Readinger‐EPG; die Anwendung bei der Bewertung und Behandlung verschiedener Sprechstörungen wird im Umriß dargestellt. Wir zeigen, daß die EPG bei der Bewertung eine Einsicht in den möglichen Ursprung eines auditiv wahrgenommenen Fehlers ermöglicht, und durch Fallbeschreibungen wird illustriert, wie diese Daten zu einer rationalisierten Behandlung führen. Wir beschreiben, wie das Vorhandensein eines realtime, visuellen Feedbacks der Zungenbewegungen bei der Therapie bestimmter, unlenksamer Sprechstörungen wirkungsvoll sein kann. Schließlich besprechen wir, mit Hinsicht auf das zunehmende Verlangen nach Verantwortlichkeit bei der Logopädie, die Wichtigkeit von Techniken wie die EPG bei der objektiven Bewertung von Therapieverfahren.

Recent research has shown that language and the socio-cognitive phenomena associated with it can be aptly modeled and visualized through networks of linguistic entities. However, most of the existing works on linguistic networks focus only on the local properties of the networks. This study is an attempt to analyze the structure of languages via a purely structural technique, namely spectral analysis, which is ideally suited for discovering the global correlations in a network. Application of this technique to PhoNet, the co-occurrence network of consonants, not only reveals several natural linguistic principles governing the structure of the consonant inventories, but is also able to quantify their relative importance. We believe that this powerful technique can be successfully applied, in general, to study the structure of natural languages. * This research has been conducted during the author's internship at Microsoft Research India.
