Résumé
This study addresses how vowel quality interacts with larynx state. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of the larynx during the articulation of phonetically produced vowels under different voice and phonatory quality conditions-including modal and creaky phonatory qualities, glottal and epiglottal stop, and raised larynx voice (RLV) pharyngealized quality-were acquired for two trained phoneticians. The analysis consists of qualitative observations of laryngeal tissues and quantitative analysis of anatomical landmarks. The results indicate that vocalventricular fold contact occurs in the context of creaky voice and glottal and epiglottal stop, but the contact pattern is complex with a residual medial air space. The larynx is low for [ɑ, o, u]; front vowels have typically higher larynx height. Lingual articulation in RLV resembles a 'double bunched' [ɹ], while the larynx position is both advanced and raised.
