Based on modern research, this posture is associated with a language specific centre of mass of the tongue maintained during speech which affects all aspects of speech production such as vowel quality, place of articulation etc. The term “Basis of Articulation” was originally conceived as a language specific posture of the tongue continuously held in speech-ready and inter-utterance positions. After a detailed survey of the original sources and contemporary literature it is concluded that the BA and AS represent two distinct although closely related ideas that are not fungible. Abstract This dissertation investigates the notion of the Basis of Articulation (BA) in relation to the widely used concept of Articulatory Setting (AS) with specific focus on English and Russian as examples.
