abstract = {Articulatory speech synthesis is currently used mainly in speech and language research, while technical applications of speech synthesis are realized using corpus-based synthesis methods. From the point of view of speech and language research, the development of neurobiologically oriented approaches for modeling the entire speech processing system, i.e., modeling of speech perception (comprehension) as well as of speech production is challenging and of great interest. Here, cognitive-linguistic as well as sensorimotor aspects of production and perception need to be modelled and a biomechanical articulation model including neuromuscular control should be included as front-end module. From the viewpoint of speech and language technology, high-quality articulatory synthesis is realized mainly by corpus-based synthesis methods but also the use of geometric-parametric articulation models in conjunction with aeroacoustic vocal tract models seems to deliver promising results. This review article tries to summarize the major steps in research and in technical development of articulator speech synthesis. Furthermore, prospective, and reachable goals will be discussed for articulatory speech synthesis as a basic research tool and as technological speech synthesis approach.},
