Brief explanation of what speech processes are (excluding respiration and resonation), their mechanism and the basic organs of the body that has to deal with it.

1. Phonation and Articulation
Speech Production Processes

3. Phonation
• Phonation is the rapid opening and closing of
the vocal folds for sound
• The vocal folds they attach anteriorly tol itehe hthoyrroizido cnarttailallgye iann dt hpoes tleariroyrlny txo the
artynoid cartilages; they are free in the middle • the opening in the middle of the vocal folds is
the glottis

4. Phonation
• Vibrating mechanism through vocal folds
oscillation.
• It is the process by which vocal folds open and
close rapidly to produce certain sounds,
especially speech, through periodic vibration.

5. Articulation
• Articulate
: (adj) divided into syllables or words
meaningfully arranged
: (v) to give clear and effective utterance
:in phonetics and phonology, articulation is
the movement of the tongue, lips, jaw, and
other speech organs (the articulators) in
order to make speech sounds.

7. Articulators
Upper and Lower Lips
Upper and Lower Teeth
TOUNGE

8. Articulation
• Consonants can be described as sounds which are
articulated with complete or partial inhibition
• Consonants are the place of articulation
• An obstruction is necessarily formed when two
articulators come close together.
• One is moving (the active articulator), and the other
is stationary (the passive articulator).

9. Bilabials (two lips together)

10. Labiodentals (upper lip-lower teeth)

11. Dentals (tounge between teeth)

12. Alveolars (tounge behind the back upper
teeth)

13. Palatals (tounge rises up to the hard palate)

14. Velars (move your velum)

15. Glottal (use your glottil)
