SPEECH PRODUCTION Flashcards
(12 cards)
What is needed to start the speech production process?
An initiator, which in speech production is the lungs
The lungs are involved in respiration, providing the necessary airflow for speech.
What is the role of the lungs in speech production?
To breathe air in and out into the environment
This process is sometimes referred to as initiation or respiration.
What is phonation in the context of speech production?
The component where air passes through the larynx and can influence sound production
Phonation involves the vocal folds, which may or may not affect the sound.
What protects the vocal folds during phonation?
A set of cartilages
These cartilages can be felt at the front of the neck.
What happens to the air after it leaves the lungs in speech production?
It passes through the bronchi, trachea, larynx, pharynx, and oral or nasal cavity
This pathway is crucial for producing speech sounds.
What is articulation in speech production?
The modification of sound as air passes through the pharynx and oral or nasal cavity
Some authors refer to this component as modification.
What are primary articulators and their names
The main articulators involved in sound modification.pharynx, soft palate or velum, hard palate, alveolar ridge, upper / lower teeth
They include the pharynx, soft palate (velum), hard palate, alveolar ridge, and teeth.
Fill in the blank: For every speech sound, a certain position of _______ is typical.
articulators
True or False: Individuals have the same articulatory positions for all speech sounds.
False
Slight differences in articulatory positions occur among individuals.
What is the most impotrant and flexible articulator?
the tongue, it can take various positions.
Name the secondary articulators
nasal cavity, jaw and the larynx.
How we can divided the articulators?
active (tongue, lower lip) and passive (upper lip, teeth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, soft palate).
