Abstract
Strain-gauge transducers were placed on the lingual side of the dental ridge of the maxilla and mandible and on the labial side of the mandible. These were positioned to record contact pressures along ridges in five locations from the sides and in the midline. Lip and tongue contacts were recorded as subjects repeated VCV syllables containing /i/, /a/, /u/, and /s/. Different pressure patterns were found both between and within syllable utterances. Pressure peaks from the sides of the tongue corresponded to each phoneme while pressure peaks nearer the midline corresponded temporally with the consonant. Lip pressure peaks were related only with the consonant. Tongue tip and midline lip activity showed a definite movement away from the transducer for the entire syllable. The shape of the contact peaks were related to the vowel used in the syllable.
