Abstract
Acoustic rhinometry as a means to detect changes in velar position was examined in this study. Videofluoroscopic recordings were made of two normal speakers maintaining velopharyngeal open and velopharyngeal closed (silent /f/) targets. Simultaneous acoustic rhinometric recordings were made during the production of each stimulus. Determinations of changes in velar positioning during the closed samples were made from fluoroscopic recordings and compared to nasal cavity-nasopharynx changes detected by rhinometry. The excellent agreement between the measures from the two procedures (less than 1 cm) indicates that acoustic rhinometry is capable of detecting changes in velar positioning during "silent" speech. Implications for assessment and future research are discussed.
