- 1What is the structure of speech production ? (With steps)1. Air Supply (lungs)
2. Sound Source
3. Filter - 2What is the main air supply in human languages ?The lungs.
- 3What is the glottis ?The vocal chords and the opening between them
- 4What are the 2 most importat types of sounds that glottal states produce?Voiced sounds
and
Voiceless sounds - 5what are the vocal cords?2 muscles attached to cartilages in the larynx
- 6When do we get voiceless sounds?When the vocal chords relax
- 7When do we get voiced sounds?When the vocal cords are pulled together to obstruct air
- 8What happens when the vocal cords are relaxed ? (in terms of sounds)they are voiceless
- 9What happens when the vocal chords are pulled together to obstruct air ? (in terms of sounds)They produce voiced sounds
- 10What are the main components of the vocal tract ?Nasal Cavity
Oral Cavity
Pharynx - 11What are the main components of the oral cavity ?The alveolar ridge
The palate
The velum
the uvula
the tongue
the lips
the teeth - 12What are the main components of the tongue?
- 13when do we get nasal sounds?when the velum is lowered ( the nasal cavity is connected so we get nasal sounds)
- 14when do we get oral sounds?if the velum is raised, the nasal cavity is disconnected and we get oral sounds
- 15what happens when the velum is lowered?the nasal cavity is connected so we get nasal sounds
- 16what happens when the velum is raised?the nasal cavity is disconnected so we get oral sounds
- 17What is an articulation?A narrowing or constriction of the vocal tract during the production of a speech sound.
- 18What types of articulators are normally used?Passive articulators
Active articulators - 19What do active articulators do in speech production ?They move towards the passive articulator

- 26Are they loud or quite noises ?They are usually relatively quiet
- 27are consonants syllabic ?generally no
- 28how do vowels happen ?little obstruction in the vocal tract
- 29what type of glottal states do vowels produce?generally voiced
- 30are vowels loud or quiet ?they are louder and last longer than consonants
- 31are vowels syllabic ?yup
- 32what are glides ?glides are sounds articulated like vowels but they function as consonants
