Articulatory Phonetics

The articulatory phonetics is the area of phonetics , which deals with the articulation of individual sounds busy. It examines the movements of the lips, tongue, and jaw (the active articulators) in relation to the teeth, alveoli , hard and soft palate , etc. (the passive articulators).

One of the most important techniques in articulatory phonetics is palatography. In traditional palatography, the palate of a speaker is coated with black powder. After he articulates a sound, his palate and tongue are photographed to determine exactly which part of the tongue hit the roof of the mouth and where. The electropalatography serves the same purpose, but uses electrodes instead of with black powder.
