What's the difference between bilabiate and personate?

Bilabiate


Definition:

  • (a.) Having two lips, as the corols of certain flowers.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Individual subjects responded to perturbations reliably but differently, using different combinations of involved articulators to achieve bilabial closure and lingua-alveolar contact.
  • (2) Loads were initiated during the jaw closing movement associated with the production of bilabial stops, creating a situation in which bilabial closure would be disrupted if motor control were independent of peripheral feedback.
  • (3) We present the report of two cases of bilabial congenital double lip treated surgically by the elliptical resection of the mucosae folds.
  • (4) The outstanding findings are the consistently lowest values for the alveolars and the particular susceptibility of the VOT of bilabials to environmental variables like position in the utterance and stress.
  • (5) Bilabial vocalizations produced by the subjects were recorded and counted.
  • (6) The discriminability of bilabial stop consonants differing in VOT (the Abramson-Lisker bilabial series) was measured in a same-different task, an oddity task, and a dual response, discrimination--identification task.
  • (7) Six subjects received unanticipated jaw perturbations before and during tongue elevation for [aedae], in which the lips do not participate, and bilabial closure for [aebae], in which the tongue does not participate.
  • (8) As jaw-open position was increased with the bite blocks, it was found that: Positions of both lips changed for bilabial closure, but the closing movements did not usually maintain consistent proportions between lips across different bite-block sizes; although the lips maintained fairly consistent maximum interlabial opening across many conditions, this opening was reduced in the small bite-block conditions; and in a few cases there was an increase in the duration of lip-closing movements, but these were small and inconsistent.
  • (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.
  • (13) This study examined and compared bilabial compression force difference limen (DL) values (the minimally perceivable difference between two compression forces) for a group of twenty normal-speaking female subjects (mean age, 25 years) under conditions with and without the teeth clenched.
  • (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.

Personate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To celebrate loudly; to extol; to praise.
  • (v. t.) To assume the character of; to represent by a fictitious appearance; to act the part of; hence, to counterfeit; to feign; as, he tried to personate his brother; a personated devotion.
  • (v. t.) To set forth in an unreal character; to disguise; to mask.
  • (v. t.) To personify; to typify; to describe.
  • (v. i.) To play or assume a character.
  • (a.) Having the throat of a bilabiate corolla nearly closed by a projection of the base of the lower lip; masked, as in the flower of the snapdragon.

  • (5) Large gender differences were found in the correlations between the RAS, CR, run frequency, and run duration with the personality, mood, and locus of control scores.
  • (6) The idea that 80% of an engineer's time is spent on the day job and 20% pursuing a personal project is a mathematician's solution to innovation, Brin says.
