Q

Velopharyngeal mechanism

A

helps to vary the acoustic coupling between the oral and nasal cavities
- VP closure is very important to articulation

Inadequate= nasalized speech

  • Inability to impound air pressure in the oral cavity
  • Unvoiced consonants may become voiced
  • Plosives become snorts
  • Vowels nasalized
95
Q

Velopharyngeal Mechanism

A

Excessive VP closure results in a “stuffy nose” quality

  • adequacy of VP closure
  • timing of VP closure

VERY important to articulation parameters
Closure= elevating and retracting soft palate and constricting the pharyngeal walls of the nasopharynx, PPW moves anteriorly

96

on the PPW

area that protrudes (bulges) on PPW during phonation

assists with closure of soft palate

97
Q

Vibrations generated by VF…have 3 parameters

A
  • Frequency
  • Intensity
  • Duration
98
Q

Resonance:

Natural frequency

A

most everything, will vibrate when energized by an outside force

vibrate at its own natural frequency

air stream (lungs) energize the VF
Frequency of VF directly impacted by tension and mass
99
Q

Resonance:

Forced Vibration:

A

natural period or frequency

takes an unreasonable amount of effort to cause it to travel at an unnatural period…forced vibration

When external force is removed…the vibrations will stop abruptly…the system is “highly damped”

100
Q

Resonance:

Radiation of Energy

A

anything that absorbs energy at a specific frequency radiates energy best at the same frequency

vibrating systems resonate at their natural frequencies when they can…do not absorb energy well at frequencies other than their natural frequencies
