Abstract :
The study represents an attempt to describe the relationships between formant histories and lingual fleshpoint movements for selected words spoken by five normal, young-adult speakers of American English. The data are drawn from the X-ray Microbeam (XRMB) Speech Production Database. A major purpose of the study is to examine the appropriateness of simple acoustic-to-articulatory inferences that are common in speech research
