Area Functions and Articulatory Modeling

Chp.5
5.2 Background

5.2.1 The F-pattern
1. F-pattern: The filter function of the VT contains only resonance, labeled F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5.
2. Main gestures of those formants
3. Spectrograms of oral vowels and consonants
4. Spectrograms of stops, voiceless fricatives, voiced fricatives

5.2.2Maeda’s Articulatory Model
1. Guided Principal Component Analysis of Midsagittal X-ray tracings
2. Tongue dorsum position, tongue shape, tongue apex position, lip aperture, lipper, and larynx height
3. The three different types of input used in the model: seven articulatory parameters, X-ray or Magnetic Resonance Imaging data, area fuction table
