音声言語話者は、声帯を使って発声しますが、喉頭がんや食道がんなどにより喉頭の全摘出手術を受けた人は、声帯がなくなり、完全に声を失います。声を取り戻す方法のひとつである食道発声法は、食道の粘膜の一部を声帯のように振動させて声を出す方法です。

Spoken language speakers use their vocal cords to produce speech, but those who have undergone total laryngectomy due to laryngeal or esophageal cancer have lost their vocal cords and their voice completely. One method of regaining voice is the esophageal vocalization method, in which part of the mucous membrane of the esophagus is made to vibrate like the vocal cords to produce voice.
「私の言語ヒストリー」で登場する竹内康子さんは、食道発声で会話をします。お勤めの傍ら、食道発声の訓練などにも積極的に関わっておられます。
In “Me and My Language”: TAKEUCHI Yasuko uses esophageal vocalization for conversation. In addition to her work, she is actively involved in esophageal vocalization training.
