5 Questions
What is the transformation that articulatory phonetics is concerned with?
Articulatory phonetics is concerned with the transformation of aerodynamic energy into acoustic energy.
What are the two aspects of speech sounds that articulatory phonetics explains?
Articulatory phonetics explains the place of articulation and the manner of articulation of speech sounds.
What is articulatory phonetics concerned with studying?
Articulatory phonetics is concerned with studying articulation and ways that humans produce speech.
What is the point of maximum obstruction called?
The point of maximum obstruction is called the place of articulation.
Can you provide an example of place and manner of articulation?
An example of place and manner of articulation is the bilabial stop (p) where the lips form the place of articulation and the manner is a stop (plosive).
Study Notes
Articulatory Phonetics
- Articulatory phonetics is concerned with the transformation of aerodynamic energy into acoustic energy.
- The two aspects of speech sounds that articulatory phonetics explains are:
- The physical properties of the sounds (such as their place and manner of articulation)
- The way these sounds are produced by the speaker's vocal organs
- Articulatory phonetics is concerned with studying the physical properties of speech sounds and how they are produced by the speaker's vocal organs.
- The point of maximum obstruction is called the place of articulation.
- Example of place and manner of articulation:
- Bilabial sounds (e.g., /p/, /b/, /m/) are produced by obstructing the airflow with both lips (place of articulation) and then releasing it (manner of articulation).
Test your knowledge of the fundamental concepts and principles of articulatory phonetics, the subfield of phonetics that studies speech production and articulation.
