In this paper, we studied about the EMG of sternohyoid muscle(SH) during articulation. we selected /ki/ as the word that use subaxial a little, and /pa/, /pan/ as the word that use subaxial very much. The subjects were 4 persons with normal larynx. We indicated them to unify the amplitude of SH EMG during /ki/, /pa/, /pan/ phonation, and measured the amplitude of SH EMG between a phoneme and a phoneme.3 At the results, we found that the subjects can not control to unify the amplitude of EMG during articulation.

The purpose of this study is to compare disfluencies and speech rates (overall speech rate and articulation rate) of normal adult speakers who use the standard Korean according to dissimilar speech tasks (story-telling and text-reading). Participants were 100 Korean adult speakers. The results are summarized as follows: First, the most frequent type of disfluency in the story-telling task was 'interjection', whereas that in the text-reading task was 'revision'. Second, the overall speech rates (syllables per second and syllables per minute) showed significant differences depending on the speech tasks. Third, the articulation rates (syllables per second and syllables per minute) showed significant differences depending on the speech tasks.

An Electropalatographic (EPG) study was conducted to investigate the articulatory characteristics which determine the, distinction between the Korean lax fricative [s] and tense fricative [s']. This study also intended to test if an increase in the degree of tensity (lax fricative [s] < tense fricative [s']) induces a decrease in coarticulatory vocalic effects. The results indicated that the increase in the tensity of Korean fricatives is closely related to the increase in the narrowness of the groove width (wider contact at the place of articulation), the forward shifting in the place of articulation, and the longer duration of the constriction (longer maintenance in the manner of articulation). It was also found that coarticulatory vocalic effects on Korean fricatives are affected by Recasens' two rules of constraint (1983) : spatial and temporal constraints.

This paper aims to provide preliminary evidence that (at least part of) phonetic phenomena are not simply automatic or arbitrary, but are explained by the functional guidelines, ease of articulation and maintenance of contrasts. The first study shows that languages with more high vowels (e.g., French) allow larger consonantal deviation from its target than languages with less high vowels (e.g., English). This is interpreted as achieving the economy of articulation to a certain extent in order to avoid otherwise extreme articulatory movement to be made in CV syllables due to strict demand on maintaining vocalic contrasts. The second study shows that Russian plain bilabial consonant allows less amount of undershoot due to the neighboring vowels than does English bilabial consonant. This is probably due to the stricter demand on maintaining the consonantal contrasts, plain vs. palatalized, existing only in Russian.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between segmental correctness and speech intelligibility in adults with hearing impairment. Segmental correctness was measured by percentage of correct vowels(PCV) and percentage of correct consonants(PCC). The results were shown as follows: First, PCV and PCC could predict speech intelligibility with statistical significance. Second, in consonant classes divided by place and manner of articulation, the PCC of plosives and alveolar sounds were significant predicting variables in each group ($R^{2}=50%;\;59%$). According to this study, the importance of segmental correctness on speech intelligibility of adults with hearing impairment was confirmed. Also correctness of plosive sounds in manner and alveolar sounds in place were significant factors to speech intelligibility.

This study aims at finding the structure of spike technique by analysing comparatively the spike action by excellent and by non-excellent players throughout the section from a flying jump to the time of landing for the correct analysis of spike action and tries to help athletes and coaches to execute a scientific training. For the objected person of this study, six of H College athletes three of excellent athletes and three of non-excellent athletes, presently registered as athlete with the Korea Volleyball federation) were chosen, and the factors of analysis were analysed upon performance time of action by section, human body centered displacement, change of articulation angle, speed change of articulation of the upper limbs, uniformity of the articulation of the upper limbs upon impact, etc. The conclusion of this study is as follow: 1. In the time required for taking action, it shows to take $1.067{\pm}0.057$ seconds for the group of excellent athletes and $1.034{\pm}0.033$ seconds for the group of non-excellent athletes. Although there was not big difference between two groups in the performance time of action, it showed that the group of excellent athletes takes longer compared to the group of non-excellent athletes. And it was found by the result of this study that the group of excellent athletes stays longer in the duration of flight. 2. In the displacements of horizontal movement and vertical movement, it was found that the group of excellent athletes have moved more than the group of non-excellent athletes in the horizontal movement of the center of human body 3. In the angles of wrist and knee, it was found that the excellent athletes have shown little than the non-excellent athletes in the entire sections, but that in the angle of elbow, the non-excellent athletes have shown bigger than the excellent athletes.. 4. In the speed of the articulation of the upper limbs upon impact, it was found that the group of excellent athletes have shown bigger than the group of non-excellent athletes, and that in the maximum value of the articulation of the upper limbs, the maximum value for the hand was indicated upon impact and that forearm and upper arm have shown the maximum value just before the impact. 5. In the uniformity of articulation of the upper limbs at the time of impact, the group of excellent athletes showed bigger than the group of non-excellent athletes in all the articulations.

구강악안면의 여러 구조는 매우 복잡하고 정밀한 상호과정을 거쳐 말소리를 만들어낸다. 그 중 치아는 중요한 조음기관으로서 치아의 상실시 정상적인 발음을 하기 위해서는 혀와 턱의 위치 수정을 통한 적응이 필요하며, 적응 가능 범위를 벗어난 경우에는 적극적인 보철적, 교정적 치료를 요하게 된다. 소아의 다수 치아 상실은 조음에 어려움을 가져올 뿐만 아니라 부정교합, 악골발육 저하, 측두하악관절의 변위, 저작력 저하, 영양 불균형, 심미성 저하 등의 문제를 초래하기 때문에 반드시 상실부위의 회복이 필요하다. 아크릴릭 레진을 이용한 기존의 가철성 장치와 비교하여 Valplast$^{(R)}$ 탄성의치는 조직과 긴밀하기 접착되며 치은의 자연적인 색조를 투과시키는 얇고 강한 레진 유지부를 가져 심미성이 매우 높으며 우수한 물성을 가지는 등 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 특히 전체적인 두께가 얇고 부피가 작아 이물감이 적고 혀의 움직임을 방해하지 않기 때문에 발음의 회복에 장점을 가진다. 본 증례는 완전탈구된 하악 전치부로 인해 조음장애를 보였으나 Valplast$^{(R)}$ 탄성의치를 장착한 후 조음의 개선을 보인 경도 지적장애 환아에 관한 것으로 조음검사를 통해 하악 전치부의 상실이 조음에 미치는 영향에 보고하고자 한다.

Backgrounds and Objects: Carcinoma of the tongue is the most common cancer of the oral cavity. A primary treatment strategy includes surgery and/or radiotherapy. Resection of the tongue often results in speech dysfunction, which depends on the site and extent of resection, type of reconstruction, and the mobility of remaining tongue. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of articulation errors that were resulted from the partial glossectomy without free flap reconstruction. Materials & Method : Articulation evaluations including speech intelligibility and percent of correct consonants (PCC) were performed for 24 patients who underwent partial glossectomy for their T1 or T2 tongue cancer. Mobility of the tongue, size of the resected tongue, and the history of adjuvant radiotherapy were analyzed for their relationship with the results of articulation evaluation. Results: Speech intelligibility score was $6.4{\pm}0.9$ (on 7-point scale) and overall PCC was 96.9%. There were close relationships between the size of resection and limitations in the tongue mobility, especially in "protrusion and elevation (r=-0.687)" and "retroflexion (r=-0.775)". Errors in "alveolar fricatives" and "palatal affricates" were also closely related with the size of resection (r=-0.537 and -0.538, respectively). PCC for "liquid sound" /r/ was 83.2%, which was closely related with the history of radiation therapy. Conclusion : Overall articulatory function was satisfactory in cases of early tongue cancer after partial glossectomy of a limited volume without flap reconstruction. However, the size of resection and the history of radiation therapy were closely related to the limitations in some types of tongue mobility and the resultant articulation errors.

본 연구에서는 한국어 비음의 조음위치 변별을 위한 지표로서 모음 음향 특성의 활용 가능성을 타진하였다. 비음에 인접한 /ㅏ/ 모음 시료를 대용량 한국어 자연발화 말소리 자료에서 추출하여 모음 구간의 25%, 50%, 75% 시점에서 음향 매개변수를 측정하였다. 이 스펙트럼 및 지속시간 변수를 이용하여 판별분석을 수행하고 이를 바탕으로 선행 또는 후행 비자음의 조음위치 분류정확도를 추정하였다. 또한 조음위치 공조음(coarticulation)의 관점에서 순행적 공조음과 역행적 공조음의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 측정 대상 모음에 비음이 선행하는 경우와 후행하는 경우로 나누어 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 전후 비자음의 조음위치 분류정확도는 약 50%-60%로 나타났다. 모음의 음향 매개변수 측정값만으로 비음의 조음위치를 예측·분류하기에는 어려움이 있으나, 공조음 정도가 가장 약할 것으로 예상되는 모음 정중 구간에서 측정된 음향 변수만으로도 위와 같은 정확도를 얻었다는 점에서 비음 구간의 분석결과와 함께 모음 측정치를 활용함으로써 비음 조음위치 인식률 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 한편 측정 대상 모음에 선행 또는 후행하는 비음 조건 간에 비교하였을 때, 후행 비음 조음위치의 분류정확도가 더 높게 나타났다는 점에서 역행적 조음위치 공조음의 영향이 더 클 가능성이 확인되었다.
