The Measurement of the Oral and Nasal Sound Pressure Levels of Speech

Clarke, Wayne M.

Journal of Phonetics, 3, 4, 257-262, Oct 75

A nasal separator was used to measure the oral and nasal components in the speech of a normal adult Australian population. Results indicated no difference in oral and nasal sound pressure levels for read versus spontaneous speech samples; however, females tended to have a higher nasal component than did males.
