Abstract

This study examines jaw and lip aperture characteristics of syllables. High correlations were found between velocity and displacement of opening/closing of lips and jaw, similar to previous studies. However, lip aperture opening velocity changed as a function of manner and voicing of syllable onset while jaw opening velocity, except for a plosive onset, did not change. In addition, differences were found in timing between jaw opening and lip aperture opening, and the amount of difference varied as a function of syllable type (open/closed) and voicing/manner of the consonant. Our interpretation of the asynchronous patterns of lip and jaw articulation is that the jaw is the syllable articulator and the lips are the syllable onset/coda articulators. The findings of this study have application to language acquisition as well as to stuttering research.
