Abstract
A combination of aerodynamic and EPG instrumentation is used to estimate the relationship between velopharyngeal opening (VPO) and linguopalatal place of articulation for a variety of oral and nasal speech sounds. VPO values, estimated using the pressure-flow technique, are generally consistent with the results of previous aerodynamic studies, though smaller than values from imaging studies. The relationship between VPO and linguopalatal contact anteriority differs across consonants with different places of articulation. For velars, linguopalatal contact is more posterior with increased VPO, while bilabials manifest the opposite pattern. This finding may be related to the interaction between velar nasals and nasal vowels suggested in previous studies.
