A Cross-linguistic study of Cleft palate misarticulations -Electropalatographical and Acoustic analysis-

我们的研究成果在一些初步方面的合作跨语言研究正常和紊乱的日本和英国英语讲话。该调查比较了/s/的侧边发音（日语中的侧边发音错误和英语中所谓的“侧边/s/”），这在两种语言中都是不正常的。对4名日本受试者和4名英国受试者进行了EPG和声学记录。EPG模式根据一定的标准进行分类，例如舌头和硬腭之间是否存在完全收缩，以及这种接触的区域和位置。研究结果显示，每个说话者的侧面发音各不相同，但日语和英语的发音大体相似。在声学上，两种语言的发音错误的特点是峰值能量的频率低于正常生产中预期的频率。

Our research results in some preliminary aspects of a collaborative cross-linguistic study of normal and disordered Japanese and British English speech. The investigation compares lateralised productions of /s/, (lateral misarticulation in Japanese and so-called"lateral/s/"in English), which are abnormal in the two languages. EPG and acoustic recordings were made of four Japanese and four British subjects. The EPG patterns were classified according to certain criteria, such as the presence or absence of complete constriction between the tongue and the hard palate, and the area and location of this contact. Findings revealed that lateralised articulations varied between individual speakers, but that Japanese and English productions were broadly similar. Acoustically, misarticulations in both languages were characterised by a lower frequency of peak energy than would be expected in normal productions.
