The production of speech is constrained by the articulatory parameters that people can vary. It is suggested that there are seven parameters affecting tongue shapes, three determining the positions of the lips, one controlling the position of the velum, four varying laryngeal actions, and one controlling respiratory activity. Descriptions of all linguistic utterances can be made in terms of about 16 parameters.
