Abstract

We investigated lip and tongue movements of diphthongisation of /uː/ in the Malmöhus dia- lect, which is spoken in the very south of Swe- den. Articulographic and acoustic data of ten native speakers were collected and analysed. Acoustic analysis revealed fairly stable F1 and F3, but a considerable F2 movement through- out the diphthongisation, indicating that /uː/ is realised dynamically. Articulographic results confirmed the acoustic results, showing signifi- cant differences in tongue displacement throughout the diphthong for all speakers, whereas lip displacement differences were sig- nificant for fewer speakers.
