International audience. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the influence of the choice of the finite element technology on the occurrence of locking and hourglass instabilities. We chose to focus on the case study of the activation of the posterior genio-glossus (GGp) that is a lingual muscle located at the root of the tongue and inserts in the front to the mandible. The activation of this muscle compresses the tongue in the lower part and generates a forward and upward movement of the tongue body, because of the incompressibility of tongue tissues (for example during the production of the phonemes /i/ or /s/).
