Document Summary
How our vocal tract functions to produce speech. We alter the shape of the vocal tract in order to change the quality of the sound that is produced. Categories of speech sounds are determined by. A way to organize and represent the sounds of language. A way to write down speech so that a trained reader can produce native-sounding speech language or accent . Every language sound id represented by a symbol. We can"t use the latin alphabet to represent every sound. In the latin alphabet, one symbol often does not correspond with one sound. The airflow above the glottis is partially or completely obstructed in some way. Manner: how much the air is blocked. Voicing: whether the vocal folds are vibrating while the air is blocked. The airflow above the glottis is not obstructed. High or low relative to the palate. Tense: longer, higher, more peripheral in vs. Lax: shorter, lower, less peripheral in vs.
