This paper presents predictions of the consequences of tongue surgery onspeech production. For this purpose, a 3D finite element model of the tongue isused that represents this articulator as a deformable structure in which tonguemuscles anatomy is realistically described. Two examples of tongue surgery,which are common in the treatment of cancers of the oral cavity, are modelled,namely a hemiglossectomy and a large resection of the mouth floor. In bothcases, three kinds of possible reconstruction are simulated, assuming flapswith different stiffness. Predictions are computed for the cardinal vowels /i,a, u/ in the absence of any compensatory strategy, i.e. with the same motorcommands as the one associated with the production of these vowels innon-pathological conditions. The estimated vocal tract area functions and thecorresponding formants are compared to the ones obtained under normalconditions
