Abstract
The positions and orientations of the secant lines between pellets will be examined for front vowels of four talkers in the X-Ray Microbeam Speech Production Database. The effect of vowel height and palate shape will be examined, as will the contextual effects of neighboring stop, fricative and nasal segments. This work is part of a project to describe tongue motion in terms of secant line kinematics. Preliminary results suggest that tongue blade orientation for high front vowels is determined largely by palate shape.
