Electropalatographic Articulation process of Uyghur Consonant ʤ

Abstract

Consonant articulation has been commonly researched in an auditory method, while visual view in this field can be seldom achieved without sophisticated instruments. In order to comprehend the physical articulation process of Uyghur and also benefit its language learning, a newly innovated method called Electropalatograph is involved to analyses how Uyghur Consonant /ʤ/ is pronounced in the narrow oral cavity. Through observing and cutting the collected information from the EPG palate, the physical articulation process can be concluded into four various steps.
