Comparison of articulatory strategies for a bilingual speaker: Preliminary data and models

Résumé

This study serves the goal of comparing the articulatory strategies used by bilinguals, to better understand both bilingualism and the differences between languages. We have therefore obtained mid-sagittal MRI scans of a bilingual talker producing all the phonemes in both his native American English (AE) and in French (FR), a second language in which he is highly fluent. We compared his articulatory contours in the two languages through: 1) direct comparison of the contours of analogous phonemes, 2) comparison of articulatory nomograms, and 3) crossed reconstructions of one language's articulations by a model based on the other language. Various interesting observations were made, including that labial protrusion in vowels is greater in FR than in AE, and that tongue body movements were greater and more oriented toward fronting in AE than in FR.
