Embodied Phonetics
A project aimed at understanding how
embodiment affects speech production, including effects of 1) age, gender,
development & health, and 2) gravity, body position & physical
activity.
Description
This project aims to investigate and
understand how speech production is dependent on our bodies. Several corpora
are being developed from this project and will be linked below as they become
available. This project includes an educational component through integration
with undergraduate courses in “Speech Science” and “Embodied Phonetics”, and is
also supported by participation in the Indiana University Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI) Fellows program.
Articulation and Gravity Corpora
These corpora employed 3D/4D ultrasound
together with a microphone to record tongue movement and speech acoustics
during production of sustained vowels and fricatives, and monosyllables
embedded in a carrier phrase, in two postures: upright and supine. There were
two sets of stimuli, and each participant was semi-randomly assigned to one
set. One set of stimuli focused on vowels, while the other set focused on
fricatives; a number of stimuli appear
in both sets.

Subglottal Acoustics Corpora
These corpora employed an accelerometer to
record subglottal acoustics, and a microphone to record speech, during
production of a variety speech stimuli, in different postures, and with
different lung volumes. Pulmonary function tests and MRI images of the lungs
were also obtained for some of these corpora.
