      abstract = {Nasalization refers to the process of speech production in  which significant amounts of airflow and sound energy are  transmitted through the nasal tract. In phonetics,  nasalization is necessary for certain phonemes to be  produced in normal speech; and it can also be a normal  consequence of coarticulation. In disordered speech,  however, inappropriate nasalization can be one of the  causes that reduces the intelligibility of speech.  Instrumental measurement and analysis techniques are needed  for better understanding the relationship between the  physiological status and the aerodynamic and acoustic  effects of nasalization during speech. The main aim of the  research work presented in this dissertation is to  investigate the aerodynamic and acoustic effects of  nasalization, and to develop objective approaches to  measure, analyze, and detect the nasalized segments in  speech.},
