为了更好地了解舌的形态和运动，对已有的舌肌模型进行了改进，采用聚氨酯橡胶凝胶粘弹性材料制作了舌肌的物理图形模型。与已有的舌体模型相比，新模型由舌体（包括舌横肌、舌竖肌、舌上级纵肌和舌下纵肌）和舌外肌（包括前颏舌肌、后颏舌肌、舌骨舌肌、茎突舌肌和腭舌肌）组成。因此，每个肌肉的形状，起点和终点，以及与口腔内其他肌肉和器官的关系比以前更容易理解。由于该模型由类似于人体皮肤的粘弹性材料制成，因此可以通过手动拉动或推动舌肌的某些部分来重塑和移动舌头，即可以手动模拟舌头的形状和运动。所提出的模型是有用的语音科学教育或未来的发言机器人使用现实的语音机制。
To help understanding tongue shape and motions, a physical figure model of tongue muscles using viscoelastic material of urethane rubber gel were made by improving previous models. Compare to previous shape tongue models that had been made and presented, the new model is constructed from tongue body (consisting of Transversus linguae, Verticalis linguae, Longitudinalis linguae superior, and Longitudinalis linguae inferior), and individual extrinsic tongue muscles (consisting of Genioglossus anterior, Genio glossus posterior, Hyoglossus, Styloglossus, and Palatoglossus) parts. Therefore, each muscle’s shape, starting and ending points, and relation to other muscles and organs inside mouth are more understandable than previous ones. As the model is made from viscoelastic material similar to human skin, reshaping and moving tongue are possible by pulling or pushing some parts of the tongue muscle by hand, that is, tongue shape and motion simulations by hand can be done. The proposed model is useful for speech science education or a future speaking robot using realistic speech mechanism.
