Articulatory phonetics and its applications: Analysis of the movement of the tongue by ultrasound (UTI)

Chiara Meluzzi, University of Milan 

The conference will give a brief overview of the techniques historically employed in articulatory phonetics with a focus on present-day instruments and, in particular, on Ultrasound Tongue Imaging. We will then explore the possible applications of this instrument to sociophonetics and clinical linguistics (among many others fields of research). Finally, the audience will be introduced to research designs in articulatory phonetic experiments, starting from research questions, sample size and characteristics and research procedures.
