Abstract

In this paper we present current work and results in two Experimental Phonetics projects motivated by our ongoing development of an articulatory synthesizer for Portuguese. Examples of analyses and results regarding glottal source parameters and from EMMA and acoustic analyses related to the tongue position are presented. In our studies contextual and regional variation is considered.

Funded by FCT projects POSI/36427/PLP/2000 and PRAXIS P/PLP/11222/1998.
