Measuring Speech Production: Part Two - Indirect Articulatory Measurements

Learn indirect methods for measuring articulatory movements in speech production through this 54-minute lecture that explores non-invasive techniques for studying how speech sounds are formed. Discover various indirect measurement approaches that allow researchers to analyze articulatory patterns without direct contact with speech organs, including acoustic analysis methods, electromagnetic articulography, and ultrasound imaging techniques. Examine how these indirect measurements provide valuable insights into tongue movement, lip positioning, and other articulatory gestures during speech. Understand the advantages and limitations of each indirect measurement technique, including their temporal and spatial resolution capabilities. Explore practical applications of these methods in speech research, clinical assessment, and speech therapy contexts. Gain knowledge about data collection protocols, signal processing requirements, and interpretation strategies for indirect articulatory measurements. Compare indirect measurement approaches with direct methods to understand when each technique is most appropriate for different research questions and clinical applications.
