phonation

Question 1

nil phonation

Answer 1

glottis is either fully abducted (open but soundless) or fully adducted (closed eg glottal stop)

Question 2

breath phonation

Answer 2

wide open glottis but with enough airflow to create turbulence

Question 3

whisper phonation

Answer 3

small opening at the back of the glottis with enough air to cause turbulence

Question 4

voicing

Answer 4

vibrations in the vocal folds caused by subglottal pressure forcing the v folds apart and elastic recoil bringing them back

Question 5

creak phonation

Answer 5

low frequency vibrations of the front of the vocal folds, wide irregular striations

Question 6

falsetto

Answer 6

longitudinally stretched vocal folds to create high frequency noise, glottis often left open resulting in whispering

Question 7

breathy voice

Answer 7

vocal folds relatively far apart but enough air passes through to generate turbulence and vibrations

Question 8

whispery voice

Answer 8

voiced but only in a small opening at the back of the glottis - turbulence and vibrations
