Document Summary

Syllabic: they can be the peak of a word( they are sonorous) vowels are sounds made with the vocal tract more open than for consonant and glide productions. Different vowel qualities (sounds) are articulated by varying the placement of the body of the tongue and shaping the lips. Vowel qualities can be further altered by: protruding the lips (rounded vowels, lowering the velum (nasal vowels) Complex and simple vowels: simple vowels: the sound stays the same during the period of production of sounds, complex vowels (diphthong): exhibit a change in sound and ends with a glide. Diphthong major(aj, aw, oj) easier to notice, minor (ej, ow) not so easy to notice. Major parameters(characterization) in vowel articulation: height, place of articulation in oral cavity, tense/lax and rounding of the lips. Tense vowels are generally longer in duration, a little higher in tongue position and in pitch than their corresponding lax vowel.
