labialize
Labialize refers to the articulatory process in linguistics where a speech sound is modified with a secondary articulation that involves rounding or bringing closer together of the lips. It's used to change the sound of a phoneme to create a variation or specific pronunciation of that sound. This technique is commonly used in many languages to create distinct phonetic outputs.
