Abstract: The aim of the paper is to introduce electropalatography (EPG) as a method of investigating speech production to the Czech linguistic public. Its application was demonstrated on the Czech palatal plosives [c] and [J-]. The results show that the linguopalatal contact in these speech sounds is primarily coronal, with the blade of the tongue touching the front part of the artificial palate, as well as lateral, with the tongue dorsum touching the sides of the palate. Apart from revealing interesting idiosyncratic tendencies, the results also indicate different patterns depending on the voicing of the plosive. |
