Articulatory phonetics
Deals with the production of sounds
Acoustic phonetics
Studies the vibrations of speech sounds
Auditory phonetics
Study of how sounds are heard and perceived
Vocal organs
parts of the body used in producing speech
Vocal tract
throat, mouth, nasal cavity
Lungs
cone-shaped structures in the chest composed of spongy, elastic material
Alveoli
air sacs in the lungs where oxygen from the fresh air is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the blood
Trachea
two bronchi merge into this single vertical tube
AKA windpipe
Larynx
structure made of several cartilages held together by ligaments and supporting several muscles; it is roughly cylindrical in shape and rests on top of the trachea
Adam's apple
front part of the larynx, sticks out in front
vocal folds
lie inside the larynx, just behind the point of the adam's apple.
two horizontal bands of ligament and muscle, lying across the air passage; they can open and close, acting as a valve for air coming from the lungs
glottis
opening between the vocal folds
glottal stop
when you hold your breath with your mouth open, you close your vocal folds, thus preventing air from leaving or entering the lungs
voiceless
glottal adjustment where the vocal folds are separated, letting air pass through the opening
voicing
vocal folds are close enough that the air passing between them causes them to vibrate by opening and closing rapidly in succession
pharynx
technical name for the throat, a vertical tube leading up from the larynx
oral pharynx
pharynx at the back of the mouth
nasal pharynx
pharynx leading into the nasal cavity
laryngeal pharynx
pharynx above the vocal folds
oesophagus
tube, behind the trachea, which leads to the stomach
oral cavity
mouth
important in the production of speech sounds
articulators
various points in the oral cavity
upper articulators
upper lip, upper teeth, the upper surface of the mouth, and the pharyngeal wall
lower articulators
lower lip, lower teeth, tongue
sagittal section
the kind of drawing we use which shows the inside of the head as though it were split down the middle from front to back
lips
outermost articulators. commonly articulate with each other to form bilabial sounds
bilabial sounds
lips articulating together
labiodental sounds
lower lip articulating with upper teeth
dental sounds
sounds made with the forward part of the tongue articulating with the upper teeth
alveolar ridge
just behind the upper teeth, bumpy area
alveolar sound
sounds made in the alveolar ridge
postalveolar sounds
made with the blade of the tongue articulating at the back of the alveolar ridge and the front of the tongue raised towards the palate
retroflex sounds
made with the tip of the tongue curled back to articulate with the area at the back of the alveolar ridge
palate
hard palate
palatal sounds
front of the tongue on the palat
velum
soft palate
velar sounds
sounds using the lower surface of the velum as the upper articulator
uvula
at the rear of the mouth, the velum narrows to this long, thin structure
uvular sounds
sounds made with the uvula
tongue
large, muscular organ which is involved in almost every sound we make
tip/apex
foremost part of the tongue
apical sounds
sounds made with the tip of the tongue
apico-dentals
sounds made with the tip of the tongue articulating with the upper teeth
apico-alveolars
sounds made with the tip of the tongue articulating with the alveolar ridge
blade/lamina
place just behind the tip of the tongue
laminal sounds
sounds made with the blade of the tongue
front
place in tongue behind the tip and the blade. makes palatal sounds.
back/dorsum
the hindmost part of the horizontal surface of the tongue
dorso-velar sounds
sounds made with the dorsal part of the tongue articulating against the velum
root
the tongue's rear vertical surface facing the pharyngeal wall
epiglottis
spoon-shaped cartilage which extends up and back from the larynx
nasal cavity
the pharynx opens up into this. the velum can be raised and lowered to open and close the opening from the pharynx
velic surface
upper surface of the velum
nasal sounds
sounds made with a velic opening
oral sounds
sounds made with velic closure
