Document Summary

Phonetics- refers to the production of sound, sensation and perception of sound, and the transfer of sound from the speaker to the hearer. Articulatory phonetics deals with the production of sound; air passes through passages (lungs, windpipe (trachea), vocal folds, throat, mouth & nose) Bronchi and trachea function as tubes to carry air in and out of the lungs. Vocal folds in the larynx vibrate causing air to vibrate as well; Glottis- opening between the vocal folds (glottal refers to the activity; i. e. glottal stop- holding your breath w/ mouth open) Voiced- vocal folds open and close in succession. Vocal tract : throat, mouth, nasal cavity; modifies sound. Oral cavity- mouth; upper articulators and lower articulators (sagittal section) Acoustic phonetics studies the vibrations of speech sounds; Auditory phonetics - studies of how sounds are heard and perceived. Transcription- use of phonetic symbols to write down way of utterance. English accents: received pronunciation (rp) and general american (ga)
