Using the technique of electropalatography, linguotectal contact patterns were obtained during the production of Hindi dental and retroflex stops /t/-/d/ and /t/-/d/. Nonsense words of the form /bi-ib/, /bu-ub/ and /ba-ab/ containing these stops in symmetrical vocalic context were spoken in a carrier sentence by a native speaker of Hindi. Overall contact was greater for the retroflex than for the dental stops, though the central constriction was narrower for the former than for the latter. In both the retroflex and the dental stops, the central constriction was narrower for the voiced than for the voiceless stops. Vowel context affected the retroflex stops more than the dentals, perhaps indicating that exact place of contact is not critical for the retroflex but is for the dental stops. The present results, along with other articulatory studies of Hindi-Urdu, suggest that the traditional articulatory descriptions of the dental and retroflex stops are phonetically inaccurate, and that retroflex stops do not form a single invariant category in terms of previously proposed distinctive features.
