LINA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Articulatory Phonetics, Joule, Vocal Tract
Document Summary
How speech sounds are produced (articulatory phonetics) Have a common way to talk to about speech sounds.

Understand why particular kinds of rules occur (in phonology) A set of features (properties) that can uniquely describe any speech sound in any language: what are the differences between individual speech sounds, e. g. , [t] vs. [z] vs. [aj] Bilabial, alveolar and velar voiced stops have a nasal counterpart. Manner of articulation (incl. oral/nasal) uniquely define each consonant.

Articulators do not come very close together. Have a relatively open vocal tract (no obstruction of airflow: no place or manner of articulation. Vocal fold vibration (voicing) is the sound source for vowels. We can change the shape of the oral cavity in 4 ways: Every vowel is a combination of 4 features.
