Abstract

This paper aims at drawing and analyzing the Articulation Places during production of Mandarin Chinese consonants by means of Electropalatography (EPG). Their tongue characteristics of onset are obtained: the articulation places of plosives are latter than the same manner of place of affricates, and the concentration degree of tongue-palate contact from both sides to the middle concentration degree is slightly higher; the tongue and hard palate contact of affricates is bigger than fricatives’, tongue position is also slightly higher than fricatives’; aspiration will have an influence on target palate position, aspiration consonants’ TC AC is smaller than unaspiration’s generally, tongue position of unaspiration is slightly higher than aspiration’s.
