Hungarian X-Ray Film (1960)

1960 · Short film · 10 min

Synopsis

The articulatory movements of the Hungarian language are shown by X-ray techniques. Prepared scripts illustrate selected phonetic features in the phonemic contrasts of the language, ending with several sentences to show the features in running speech. Informants were chosen for linguistic suitability and lack of physical characteristics that might interfere with X-ray quality and sound processing. From the X-Ray Film series
