An instrument that records or traces the movements of the tongue during speech or other activities.
From Greek 'glossa' (tongue) + '-graph' (write, record). Created in the late 19th century for linguistic and medical research on speech mechanics.
Early speech scientists used glossographs to finally see what the tongue was doing in slow motion—before modern ultrasound, these mechanical tracers were revolutionary for understanding how we actually speak.
