LINB09H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Phoneme, Lur, Vocal Folds
Document Summary
Cartilages rotate and bring the vocal folds together, to create a glottal stop. Glottal stop here, phonetic in english not phonemic. Vocal folds vibrating is not a voluntary movement, relaxed muscles, as air moves through physics kicks in. The vibration of the vocal folds determines the pitch of a sound (fundamental frequency) Frequencies determines by vocal tract shape = formants. Even at the \closed" position the air is still coming out. Instead of open/close the vocal folds are flapping instead. The back of the cartilages are open and air keeps flowing. Breath vowel quality can be used for sociolinguistics. Japan - breathy voice is a feminine trait. Ingressive - sounds produced as air sucks in. Aggressive + glottalic = squeeze the glottis up, build up pressure, release mouth, air will flow out = ejectives. Ingresive + glottalic= implossive, lower the larynx as the vocal folds are vibrating. Velaric - back closure is happening at velar.
