Dissertation Abstract:

The articulation of the tongue back in bilabial and velar obstruents
in American English (AE) and Seoul Korean (SK) was examined using
ultrasound, and the findings are discussed in terms of phonetic and
phonological theories. AE voiced and SK aspirated and fortis bilabial
obstruents were articulated with longer, larger, and more frequent
tongue back displacement than voiceless and lenis ones. Speakers
produced AE voiced and SK aspirated and fortis velar obstruents with
longer and larger tongue back displacement than voiceless and lenis
ones. These obstruents were further contrasted in relation to the
timing of laryngeal actions. The finding that lingual and laryngeal
articulation for the vowel showed larger temporal overlap for voiced
and fortis and less overlap for voiceless and aspirated obstruents
implies that speakers execute additional control for clear consonantal
contrast. Altogether, tongue back should be considered an important
articulator contributing to consonantal contrasts in AE and SK.
