vertical phase difference

31
Q

amount of time for bottom of VFs and top of VFs to touch

A

vertical phase difference

32
Q

8th step in one cycle of phonation

33
Q

getting ready to produce voicing by adducting the VFs

A

pre-phonation

34
Q

producing voicing by allowing the adducted vocal folds to vibrate

attack

35
Q

the period during which the vocal folds move from an abducted position to an adducted position

A

pre phonation phase

36
Q

pre-phonation phase

A

Q

the period during which the VFs undergo regular cycles of aerodynamic and myoelastic vibration

A

attack phase

38
Q
  • VFs are adducted
  • controlled exhalation
  • subglottal pressure begins to deform VF from below
  • sound wave, glottal pulse
