Studies on speech production at the Phonetics Institute of Strasbourg: a historical perspective on the evolution of basic knowledge
Résumé
Research works in the field of speech production studies have been carried
out at the Phonetics Institute of Strasbourg (IPS) using cineradiography since the
1960s. This contribution will take as a starting point the article entitled “Histoire du
radiocinéma à l’Institut de Phonétique de Strasbourg” [14] in order to summarise the
main milestones in the evolution of this X-ray method at the institute. While [14] priv-
ileged the historical perspective of cineradiography, we shall focus here on the history
of the contributions of these studies to the advancement of fundamental knowledge in
the field of speech production, from the 1960s to 2000.
