| Abstract | A report of an experiment which used electromyography and direct, high speed motion picture photography, in combination, to describe the effect of speech rate on the production of labial consonants. Electromyographic signals from a number of facial muscles were recorded simultaneously with high speed motion pictures of the lips of two subjects. The speech material consisted of syllables containing the consonants /p, b, m, w/ in both CV and VC combinations with the vowels /i, a, u/. The major finding was that an increase in speech rate is accompanied by both an increase in the activity level of the muscle as well as an increase in the speed of movement of the articulators. The data also indicate certain manner effects and instances of both Subject-to-Subject and individual token variability. These findings are discussed in terms of theoretical models of speech production. |
