The Research on Uighur by Means of Electropalatograph

Abstract

This paper aims at analyzing the conarticulation in Uyghur VC syllable by means of Electropalatograph (EPG).The economy principle in speech production can be easy to trace by means of EPG. The tongue characteristics of the same consonant after different kinds of vowels are different from each other. This research reproves that vowels usually affect the posterior consonants in syllables by slightly changing theirs original articulation places, sometimes even changing their articulation manners.

Analysis of consonant /s/ and syllables in Malay language using electropalatography

“…The vowel characteristic also play an important role in the production of /s/ and the syllables [11]. Although S2 is a left-handed person, the production of /is/ and /us/ may change the pattern of the contacts between tongue and palate.…”

“…In this study S2, is a left-handed person where the percentage of electrodes contact between tongue and palate for production of /s/ and /as/ tendered more on the left side compared to S1 and S3. Concurrently, the jaw structure also plays an important role in defining the contact between tongue and palate [4,11,12].…”
