We describe the 3D spatial characteristics of upper and lower lip in the articulatory production of /p/ and /f/ consonantal targets in 'VCV pseudo-words (V: /a i u/). Results will be relevant to the discussion of articulatory production and coarticulation theories, to the cross-linguistic comparisons, to the visual articulatory perception and to the bimodal speech synthesis.
