Aerodynamic processes underlie the characteristics of the acoustic signal of speech sounds. Empirical data on aerodynamic parameters of speech production remain very limited, mainly due to the difficulties of its acquisition. Aerodynamic data are important for the understanding of sound patterns in languages. The difficulties consist of internally the nature of aerodynamic processes and, externally the requirements of clinical and medical assistance. This database is one of the very few databases of the aerodynamics of speech production available today to the scientific community. Therefore it offers a unique opportunity for speech scientists to study the aerodynamics of speech production. Goals: 1. Record a substantial amount of simultaneous data to study speech aerodynamics ; 2. Obtain reference values of the aerodynamics of speech production for both female and male speakers in different languages
