The image is a line graph titled "Anticipatory Nasal Coarticulation." The x-axis represents different stages of speech: "beg" (beginning), "mid" (middle), and "end" (ending). The y-axis measures the level of nasality, with values ranging from -2 to 4. 

There are two lines on the graph representing different groups:
- A solid black line labeled "Lo-R," which stands for Low Rate.
- A dashed gray line labeled "Hi-R," which stands for High Rate.

The graph shows that both groups exhibit a decrease in nasality as speech progresses from beginning to end, but there is a notable difference between the two lines. The "Lo-R" group (black line) has lower values overall and shows a steeper decline compared to the "Hi-R" group (gray line). 

At the beginning of speech ("beg"), both groups start at approximately 3 on the nasality scale, but by the end of speech ("end"), the "Lo-R" group decreases to around -1.5, while the "Hi-R" group decreases slightly less and ends up closer to -0.5.

The graph is sourced from a research paper titled "Journal of Phonetics 41 (2013) 491–508," authored by R. Scarborough.
