THE PRODUCTION OF SPEECH SOUNDS
To know the production of speech sounds, we have to take into account where the sound is located in our organism. The diagram is a very useful tool where we can identify the different places where the air, that will cause the sound, passes through the vocal tract. Also, it helps us to identify the different articulators we have in our vocal cavity to develop the speech like: the tongue, the hard and strong palate, the larynx, etc. Here we have a video where shows you the different parts of the articulators:
Furthermore, the diagram can show the different positions where the vowel sounds are produced, if they are in the front or at the back of the diagram. We have two different types of vowels, short and long that are placed in the following diagram:
Dear Vanessa,
ResponderEliminarI agree with you about that we have to know about the organs that helps us to produce sounds. I want to show you that according this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulatory_phonetics To produce any kind of sound, there must be movement of air. These are produce in different positions like:the movement of air must pass though the vocal chords, up through the throat and, into the mouth or nose to then leave the body. In conclusion the air that we need to produce sounds are too important such as the articulators of speech.
