A 3D Model of the Larynx and the Laryngeal Constrictor Mechanism

This book documents the creation of a three-dimensional model of the larynx. The focus is on synthesizing the movement and appearance of laryngeal and pharyngeal sounds, with the intention of elucidating the physiological performance required of the larynx to produce these articulations. The model serves three primary purposes: the analysis of laryngeal articulation, an interactive tool for learning about linguistically relevant anatomy, and a foundation for future modelling developments such as acoustic synthesis.

Scott Moisik is a Canadian phonetician trained at the University of Calgary (BA) and the University of Victoria (MA, PhD). His research applies biomechanical modeling to the investigation of theoretical issues in phonetics and phonology. The principal focus of his research is on the behavior of the larynx in speech production.
