Articulation and Resonance Part 1

Question 1

Articulation

Answer 1

Process of joining 2 things together; moving speech structures in speech sound production

Question 2

Vocal tract

Answer 2

Area and structures where artic occurs

Question 3

How long is the tube in the vocal tract?

Answer 3

17 cm

Question 4

Structures involved in the vocal tract

Answer 4

Cavities above the larynx
Pharynx
Oral cavities
Nasal cavities

Question 5

Vocal tract shape

Answer 5

Shaped like a bent tube
Changes every time you more an articulator

Question 6

Systems of structures or articulators for vocal tract

Answer 6

Form valves that act to resist the airflow

This change creates different types of sounds
