Document Summary
The state of the glottis determines voicing: whether a sound is voiced or voiceless. Voiceless sounds are produced with the vocal folds pulled apart; air passes directly through. Voiced sounds are produced with the vocal folds brought close together; air passing in-between causes them to vibrate: oral cavity: filters the sounds and is divided into two parts. These are all passive articulators (do not move) in the production of speech sounds. These are all active (do move) articulators in the production of speech sounds: active and passive articulator pairing creates a constriction in the vocal tract. Voicing (happens within cells in ipa; voiceless then voiced) Ipa chart for stops (plosive: explosion) and nasals: fricatives: characterized by a tight constriction in the vocal tract, so that air passing through flows turbulently making a hissing noise (manner of articulation) (voicing) voiceless vs.
