| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the present study is to examine Russian voiced and voiceless obstruents in terms of articulatory phonetics. An ultrasound imaging technique was employed to visualize and quantify the movements of articulators. The results revealed some interesting aspects of tongue configuration during the production of Russian voiced and voiceless obstruents, such as interactions between voicing contrast and palatalization contrast. The results were situated in the cross-linguistic studies of supra-laryngeal gestural control during the production of laryngeal based contrast.
