Language can be broken down into: sentences, phrases, words, morphemes, phonemes. Production of phoneme begins with column of air. Produced by air pressure that sends air out of the mouth. Hold the pressure with the lip and release it to create an explosion. Tongue is at rest and is not involved in the production. Differs in the time the vocal cord produces voicing (onset of vocal cord vibration) Voicing is about 0. 6 second earlier in b phoneme production than that of p. Putting tongue up the alveolar area (front teeth) S phoneme does not involve vocal cord vibration. There are 40 phonemes in english, but only 26 letters to represent.
