Vowel Nasalization and The Path to Sound Change: An Mri Study of American and Southern British English /nt, nd
A central task in sound change research is to account for the emergence of new phonological categories from patterns of synchronic phonetic variation. To this end, a comparison was made of two English dialects differing in their phonologization of coarticulatory vowel nasalization using real-time magnetic resonance imaging of the velum and tongue and their synchronization with the glottal signal. This was done for coda vowel-nasal (VN) sequences …
The physiological basis of the phonologization of vowel nasalization: A real-time MRI analysis of American and Southern British English
The diachronic change by which coarticulatory nasalization increases in VN (vowel-nasal) sequences has been modelled as an earlier alignment of the velum combined with oral gesture weakening of N. The model was tested by comparing American (USE) and Standard Southern British English (BRE) based on the assumption that this diachronic change is more advanced in USE. Real-time MRI data was collected from 16 USE and 27 BRE adult speakers producing mo…

Planting the seed for sound change: Evidence from real-time MRI of velum kinematics in German
Velum movement signals generated from real-time magnetic resonance imaging videos of thirty-five German speakers were used to investigate the physiological conditions that might promote sound change involving the development of contrastive vowel nasality. The results suggest that, in comparison to when a nasal consonant precedes a voiced obstruent, the velum gesture associated with a nasal consonant preceding a voiceless obstruent undergoes gestu…
Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of mummified corpses
Clinical applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging have demonstrated its great potential for noninvasive examinations of soft tissues. Here preliminary experiments are reported on mummified human tissue by means of NMR cross‐sectional and transmission imaging. For this purpose the natural viscosity of the tissues has been lowered by rehydration with an aqueous solution of 20% acetone
