Study Notes
Origins of Language
- Language developed from imitating natural sounds, leading to the creation of echoic words like "moo," "meow," and "splash."
- The initial form of language consisted of onomatopoeic words, reflecting sounds found in nature.
Anatomy of Speech
- The human mouth has multiple components that facilitate sound production and regulate airflow.
- The tongue consists of three main parts: tip, blade, and body, structured in a specific order to aid articulation.
Larynx and Vocal Function
- The larynx, found in the throat, is divided into three parts and serves as a support structure for the tongue and vocal cords.
- The opening of the glottis produces the "ha" sound, while the Adam's apple houses the vocal cords.
Resonating Structures
- Alveolar ridge is the area between the upper teeth and ridge where specific sounds are generated.
- The velum is a tissue veil in the mouth that can be elevated or lowered, contributing to sound production.
Cavity and Tongue Function
- The oral cavity is positioned between the root of the tongue and the upper throat walls, impacting resonance and sound quality.
- The flat surface of the tongue is located just behind its tip and is crucial for forming vowels and consonants.
Vocal Cord Dynamics
- Vocal cords are housed within the larynx and vibrate to create sound when air is expelled.
- During a glottal stop, vocal cords come together, blocking airflow, which influences the sound produced.
Additional Structures
- Vestibular folds are tissue folds that also play a role in sound production by vibrating against each other.
- The lower part of the tongue lies in the throat, and a fold of tissue beneath it helps support its function.
