2. The Concepts of Speech Communication
The word communication originated from the Latin word
communicare, which means “to impart”, “to share”, or
“make common”
Communication is a process where a sender encodes and
imparts information via a channel or a medium to a
receiver, who, then, decodes and provides the sender a
feedback
4. The Concepts of Speech Communication
Speech communication involves the production and
perception of sounds used in spoken language. It also
called oral communication.
Communication means getting the message across. In
speech communication, it involves not only verbal, or the
words we speak, but also non-verbal, or non-linguistic
symbols (also known as paralanguage)
5. The Concepts of Speech Communication
Listening is important in communication. By providing
verbal and non-verbal feedbacks, or both, the listener
becomes an active participant in the communication
process.
6. The Levels or the Context of Speech
Communication
Intrapersonal is the level of communication involves only
himself/herself. It includes his/her inner thoughts, beliefs,
and feeling. It is undertaken in order to clarify ideas,
analyze situations, or reflect upon something.
Interpersonal This level of communication involves an
exchange between a sender and a receiver of a message,
who are in a interdependent relation
7. My Friend’s Fictional Life
In this activity, what you do is you get up in front of people (you
can do it home by yourself as well) and you take one of your
friends and you introduce them. However, instead of introducing
them in the normal way you make up a fictional life for them.
So you say, hi this is Jane Smith, and she actually moonlights as a
jazz pianist for the underground mafia. And you talk about her
life, whatever it may be.
So this is fun because it makes you been creative, it’s very easy to
think of these things on the spot and just roll with it. It’s generally
pretty funny as well.
10. Organs of Speech
Respiratory System
Phonatory System
Resonatory System
Articulatory System
11. The respiratory system
consists of lungs, diaphragm
and the bronchial tubes which
lead to the throat. During
speech, the lungs take in air
rapidly and let it out slowly.
13. Diaphragm
A large sheet of
muscle separating
the chest cavity
from the abdomen
Forms the floor of
the chest and the
roof of the
abdomen
Gives pressure to
the breath stream
14. BREATHING EXERCISE:
1. Sit up straight. Exhale.
2. Inhale and, at the same time, relax the belly muscles. Feel as
though the belly is filling with air.
3. After filling the belly, keep inhaling. Fill up the middle of your
chest. Feel your chest and rib cage expand.
4. Hold the breath in for a moment, then begin to exhale as slowly
as possible.
5. As the air is slowly let out, relax your chest and rib cage. Begin
to pull your belly in to force out the remaining breath.
6. Close your eyes, and concentrate on your breathing.
7. Relax your face and mind.
8. Let everything go.
15. ●The phonatory system is
responsible for the vibration of the
vocal folds. The vocal folds produce
voice when they vibrate rapidly, that
is, when an airstream passes them.
●The function of the larynx as a
vibration source is called phonation.
20. PHONATION EXERCISE
1. Think about blowing out birthday
candles.
2. Begin to blow and then turn the breath
into an "ooo" sound on a comfortable
pitch. Feel the tone begin in the
breathing muscles.
3. Repeat
21. The voice produced in phonation is
weak. It becomes strong and rich only
when amplified and modified by the
human resonators. Resonation is the
process of voice amplification and
modification.

22. Pharynx
Common passageway for air
and food
Located behind the nose and
mouth and includes the
cavity at the back of the
tongue
Divisions of the pharynx:
Nasal pharynx
Oral pharynx
Laryngeal pharynx
23. Nose Consists of the external and
internal portions
Nostrils – openings of the
external nose
Nasal cavity – internal nose;
directly behind the external
nose through which the air
passes on its way to the
pharynx
Septum – divides the external
and internal nose into two
separate passageways
24.
25. Mouth
Divided into the vestibule
and the oral cavity proper
Vestibule – felt by placing
the tongue tip outside the
teeth but inside the lips
Oral cavity – felt by
retracting the tongue,
closing the jaws and
moving the tongue about

27. RESONATION EXERCISE: Pronounce the letters
according to its size. (biggest letters mean
loudest sounds)
A a e e o u
o b i i m n
u m m b p p

28. RESONATION EXERCISE: Read the black
syllables softest and the red syllables
loudest.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa

29. Articulation occurs when the tone
produced in the larynx is changed
into specific sounds. This is the
result of the movement of the
articulators towards the points of
articulation.
32. Uvula
Small nub on the
lower border of the
soft palate
Movable tip at the
midline of the free
border of the soft
palate
33. Velum
Also known as the soft
palate
Separates the nasal
pharynx from the oral
cavity
A flexible curtain
attached along the rear
border of the hard
palate
34. Tongue
Flexible organ consisting of
muscles, glands and connective
tissues
Parts of the tongue:
Apex or tip
Blade
Front
Center
Back
root
