Chapter 4 Articulation/Resonance/Theories and other stuff Flashcards
(Articulation and Resonance): Consonants
Place of Articulation,
Manner of Articulation,
Voicing
(Articulation and Resonance): Vowels
All voiced,
Made by the change of location of tongue within the oral cavity,
Ex: Tongue height (high or low),
Tongue advancement (front or back)
(Articulation and Resonance): Source-Filter Theory of Vowel Production
Speech is the product of sending an acoustic source, such as the sound produced by the vibrating vocal cords, through the filter of the vocal tract that shapes the output.
(Articulation and Resonance): Acoustic source
vibrating vocal cords,
(Articulation and Resonance): Acoustic source, Fundamental frequency(F0)
Lowest frequency of a complex periodic sound
(Articulation and Resonance): Acoustic source, Harmonic frequencies
Frequencies above the fundamental frequency,
Whole-number multiples of the fundamental frequency
(Articulation and Resonance):
Filter-vocal tract, Harmonic Frequencies
Harmonic frequencies are filtered by the vocal tract,
Amplified,
Damped
(Articulation and Resonance):
Filter-vocal tract, Resonance
Air-filled container or cavity is forced to vibrate by an applied frequency or frequencies,
The sound quality given to voice sounds by the vocal tract
(Articulation and Resonance)
(Filter-vocal tract): Resonance, Increase and Decrease
Increase air cavity space=decrease frequency,
Decrease air cavity space = increase frequency,
(Articulation and Resonance)
(Filter-vocal tract): Resonance, changes
To change the resonant frequencies of the vocal tract:
Length of the vocal tract,
Location of constriction,
Degree of constriction
(Articulation and Resonance)
(Filter-vocal tract): Resonance, Formants
Peak resonating (harmonic) frequencies of the vocal tract:
Formant 1 (F1)-created by the resonating frequencies of the pharyngeal cavity,
Formant 2 (F2)-created by the resonating frequencies of the oral cavity
(Articulation and Resonance): Spectrographic Analysis
method of identifying the harmonic/spectral content of sounds over time.
Time (seconds) -Horizontal axis,
Frequency (Hz) -Vertical axis,
Intensity of resonating frequencies - degree of darkness
(Articulation and Resonance) (Spectrographic Analysis): Vowels
Resonating frequencies are related to the size of the space in the cavity,
Shaping the vocal tract to generate particular vowel sounds is independent of vocal fold vibration
(Articulation and Resonance) (Spectrographic Analysis): Diphthongs
Two vowels produced together as one unit,
Formant transition -see a shift in the frequencies
(Articulation and Resonance) (Spectrographic Analysis): Nasals
Produced with a lowered velum,
Sound is resonated in both the oral and nasal cavity but the sound exits only the nasal cavity
(Articulation and Resonance) (Spectrographic Analysis): Nasal Formant
Low frequency because of the combined pharyngeal and nasal cavities (large space)
(Articulation and Resonance) (Spectrographic Analysis): Nasal Murmur
Sound exiting the nasal cavity (gets damped and does not have strong intensity)
(Articulation and Resonance) (Spectrographic Analysis): Glides
Semivowels,
Always voiced (not completely smooth and laminar but not turbulent either),
Very quick gliding tongue movement
