Point-tracking techniques provide timing information about structural movements of the tongue. Imaging techniques provide information about cross-sectional and pharyngeal tongue shape and movement. This study joined these techniques in a single subject. Five pellets on the tongue surface were tracked using x-ray microbeam, and the midsagittal and coronal planes of the tongue were imaged using real-time ultrasound. The speech materials were the consonants [s] and [l] and the vowels [i], [a], and [o] combined in VCVCe utterances. Analyses concentrated on the difference in tongue movements related to the two consonants. A model of tongue movement was developed, in which critical features of consonant shape and position dominated the tongue opening movement. In this model, the tongue is divided into subdivisions termed "functional segments" in both the sagittal and coronal planes. Movements of the functional segments created observable opening movement patterns.
