Quarterly Progress and Status Report A descriptive model of laryngeal articulation in speech

In a previous paper(i) we have suggested a two-dimensional model of laryngeal articulation for production of phonatory types used in different languages. A mechanism for controlling downward pitch inflections was also discussed. The model was based on observations made with fiber optics inserted through the nasal passage(2). The philosophy of the model was that laryngeal speech mechanisms a r e closely related to more basic, phylogenetically old, laryngeal mechanisms associated with breathing, phonation, and protection. Essentially the same ideas a r e used in the present paper to describe more explicitly the function of the larynx in t e r m s of a hypothetical model.
