Hi,

I am currently conducting a research on vowels perception and production in
congenitally blind French speaker adults and I am looking for a specific
paper which I couldn't find anywhere by now:

Göllesz, V.: Über die Lippenartikulation der von Geburt an Blinden. In:
Papers in interdisciplinary speech research (Edit.: Hirschberg, J., Szépe,
Gy., Vass-Kovács, E.), Budapest: Akadémiai Kiadó 1972, 85-91.

Did anybody ever heard about it or about any other recent relevant papers
on speech production/perception in the blind?

Thank you,

Sophie Dupont

I have heard rumours that rounded segments in Quebec French have a smaller
degree of lip rounding than those of France French. Does anyone know of any
studies that have measured this?

Thanks,
