(9) It is established that bilabial harmony is the only type of assimilation she has recourse to, and that this process is mainly used to cope with difficult sounds, although it also implicates consonants which do not pose a production problem.
(10) In addition, it was observed that the acoustic durations of bilabial stops were shortened, whereas stressed vowels were lengthened during loud speech production.
(11) Analysis of errors according to place of production revealed lingua alveolar and bilabial phonemes to be significantly less impaired than all other categories.
(12) This contrast effect occurred even when the contextual stimuli were velar and the test stimuli were bilabial, which suggests a featural rather than a phonemic basis for the effect.

(14) During glottal stop substitutions and coarticulation involving glottal stops and oral lingual or bilabial stop gestures, all patients demonstrated either no velopharyngeal movement or impaired movement, mostly affecting the lateral pharyngeal walls.
(15) In addition, an excessive linkage strength has been built up among the node [bilabial] and all its associates at the segment level.
(16) Interactions in electromyographic activity of the upper and lower lips during speech were studied by manipulating the magnitude of bursts of activity related to bilabial closure.
(17) Mean maximum bilabial compression force was 411 gm with the teeth clenched and 568 gm without clenching.
(18) This puts bilabial consonants into a state of hyperactivation and allows them even to intrude upon those segments which have been perfectly mastered.
(19) A two-dimensional rigid-body model of jaw movement was used to describe jaw opening and closing gestures for vowels and for bilabial and alveolar consonants.
(20) As predicted, voicing and place of articulation significantly affected d': Voiceless stop consonants received greater restoration than voiced stops, and alveolar stops were less restorable than bilabial and velar stops.
Lip
Definition:
(n.) One of the two fleshy folds which surround the orifice of the mouth in man and many other animals. In man the lips are organs of speech essential to certain articulations. Hence, by a figure they denote the mouth, or all the organs of speech, and sometimes speech itself.
(n.) An edge of an opening; a thin projecting part of anything; a kind of short open spout; as, the lip of a vessel.
(n.) The sharp cutting edge on the end of an auger.
(n.) One of the two opposite divisions of a labiate corolla.
(n.) The odd and peculiar petal in the Orchis family. See Orchidaceous.
(n.) One of the edges of the aperture of a univalve shell.
(v. t.) To touch with the lips; to put the lips to; hence, to kiss.
(v. t.) To utter; to speak.
(v. t.) To clip; to trim.

(2) Excessive lip protrusion was eliminated, and arch leveled.
(3) The authors report their experience of the reconstruction by z-plasty in cases of shortness of the lip frenum.
(4) With the teeth in occlusion, lip separation was reduced.
(5) Both types of oral cleft, cleft palate (CP) and cleft lip with or without CP (CLP), segregate in these families together with lower lip pits or fistulae in an autosomal dominant mode with high penetrance estimated to be K = .89 and .99 by different methods.
(6) Although 95% of the patients are satisfied, 60% have some impairment of sensation in the lower lip.
(7) On the basis of these studies, four of the neonates required a tongue-lip adhesion to stabilize the airway.
(8) Single doses of lip-AMB resulted in 88 to 100% survival by day 42.
(9) We found that in the patient's view an adequate result requires establishment of a proper lip sphincter--either by restoring muscular tone, or by creating an anatomical framework to which can be added either a motor unit or stabilization to aid the opposite intact muscle.
(10) Three hundred sixteen female patients with cancer of the larynx, pharynx, and mouth were examined and the following cancer sites were compared with respect to alcohol and tobacco consumption: oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, epilarynx, lip, and mouth.
