Thirteen adults produced /ɹ/, /l/, /z/ and /d/ in /αCα/ syllables while being recorded with an EMA system. According to statistical analysis of sensor movement and the results of a machine classification experiment, the TT sensor contributed most to consonant differences, followed by TB. The TL sensor played a complementary role, particularly for distinguishing /z/. © 2017 Acoustical Society of America.en©2017 Acoustical Society of AmericaHearingEnglish language--Unnited StatesLinguisticsConsonantsTongueTextKatz, W.
