A

1) Breath is taken
2) Sound is initiated in the larynx
3) The vocal resonators receive the sound and
influence it
4) The articulators shape the sound into
recognizable units

38
Q

Phonation occurs when the vocal chords _______ and that sound is modified by __________

A

vibrate

resonators

39
Q

The chords vibrate because ______ ________ is applied
