MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data have been collected for three male speakers of Italian producing sustained consonants in VCV-context (with V=/{i, a, u}/). For one speaker the resulting database consists of a midsagittal set of 42 Italian articulations (/p/, /f/, /tѕ/, /t/, /ѕ/, /∫/, /t∫/, /k/, /λ/, /l/, /r/, /m/, /n/ and /ŋ/) plus 9 dialectal sound configurations and 12 scans for specific nasal allophones. It is associated with vowels, jaw and teeth references and dental casts. A subset of images is also available, however, for a limited selection of articulations produced by two other control speakers. It has been collected in view of dialect studies and it includes midsagittal and coronal scans. As in previous partial publications of these data, the aim of the present paper is to discuss only place and manner of articulation in a descriptive framework.MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data have been collected for three male speakers of Italian producing sustained consonants in VCV-context (with V=/{i, a, u}/).

Para cada emisor la base de datos resultante consta de un conjunto midsagital de 42 articulaciones en italiano (/p/, /f/, /tѕ/, /t/, /ѕ/, /∫/, /t∫/, /k/, /λ/, /l/, /r/, /m/, /n/ y /ŋ/) junto con 9 configuraciones fónicas dialectales y 12 registros sobre ciertos alófonos nasales. Se asocia con vocales, tomando referencias dentales, maxilares y dentales. Dispone asimismo de un grupo de imágenes para una selección limitada de articulaciones producidas por dos hablantes controles. Todo ello está orientado hacia los estudios dialectales y comprende muestras midsagitales y coronales. Al igual que en publicaciones monográficas anteriores, la finalidad de este artículo consiste en analizar solo el lugar y el modo de articulación en un marco descriptivo
