Question Answer
Phonation
start learning
the production and utterance of speech sounds, happens in the larynx
Articulation
start learning
the formation of clear and distinct sounds in the speech, happens in the mouth
Nasalization
start learning
the act of producing a speech sounds, especially a vowel, with the air in the nose vibrating
Glottal stop
start learning
a consonant formed by the audible relase of the airstream after the complete clousure of the glottis
Glottal fricative
start learning
a type of sound used in some spoken languages which patterns like fricative approximant consonant phonologically, but often lacks the usual phonetic characteristics of a consonant
vocal folds
start learning
the larynx houses VOCAL FOLDS - they give us ability to produce sound - (phonation). The air makes the vocald folds vibrate. They create sound when they come into contact and then vibrate (or not) as the lungs’ air flow passes through them
vocal chords 2
start learning
when the vocal chords vibrate, the sound is voiced, when they are motionless the sound is voiceless
tongue
start learning
allows us to speak, swallow and suck. A sensory organ responsible for tasting. A co-articulator in production of consonants. The major role in production of vowels. The tense/lax distinction in vowels
larynx
start learning
the major body function is protection of the lower parts of the respiratory tract against any foregin bodies that might fall there. Responsible for voiced/voiceless distinction in souns, whisper, pitch, loudness, articulation of the gl stop and g. fric
hard palate
start learning
the bony anterior of the palate forming the roof of the mouth
mechanism of speech
start learning
lungs - larynx(+vocal chords) - pharynx - velum (soft palate) - hard palate) - tongue - alveolar ridge - teeth - lips
the psychological function of the larynx
start learning
procection of the lower parts of respiratory tract from any foregin bodies might have fallen there
the vocal cords determine
start learning
if the sounds is voiceless of voiced
sounds can have two resonance types:
start learning
pulmonic or non-pulmonic
when the velum is raised
start learning
it closes the VELOPHARYNGEAL part, and opening to the nasal cavity
tongue positions determine
start learning
that the space defined by hard palate and tongue change in volume and shape
the end of the velum is called
start learning
the uvula
the voicing of sounds depends
start learning
on vocal fold and resonance
3 shapes lips can form
start learning
rounded, spread, neutral
the tongue can be divided into 3 parts
start learning
back, centre and front (blade+tip/apex)
the function of the pharynx is to
start learning
resonate
