Human Speech Apparatus PRESENTED BY: AGUIRRE, DIANNE LIZ S. APOLOGISTA, PRINCESS MAE D. AREVALO, NICA JANE M. BALANA, SHAINA JEAN F.  Place of Articulation This means that humans can produce distinct sound using the different places of the human speech organs. Voiced Voiceless Speech sounds are Sounds on the produced when the other hand are vocal cords vibrate. Try to say the sound, produced when "a" as in albatross. vocal cords do not When you produce vibrate. Let us take the "a" sound you will for example when notice that your you say the sound vocal cords vibrate. "h" as in hat.  Places of Articulation  Bilabial These are sounds that are created when both lips are used. “Bi” which means two and “labia” which means lips. The sounds that are produced using both lips are called bilabials such as [p], [b], and [m]. [p] sound is voiceless and the [b] and [m] are voiced sounds. Examples [p] [b] [m] Pink Bank Mat Pants Brick Men Labiodental These are sounds that are produced with the combination of the upper teeth and the lower lip. The sounds in this group are: [f] which is voiceless and [v] which is voiced. Examples [f] [v] Feet Van FIST Velvet Found Volt  Dental These sounds are formed with the tip of the tongue placed behind the upper front teeth. “th” sounds are considered dentals, the [θ] is for voiceless and [ ð ] is for the voiced. Examples [θ] [ð] Bath Then Thumb Feather Thin There Alveolar These sounds are formed when the front part of the tongue is placed on the alveolar ridge, which is the rough and bony ridge right behind the upper front teeth. The [t], and [s] are the voiceless sounds whereas the [d], [n] and [z] are the voice sounds. Examples [t] [s] [d] [n] [z] Tank Sip Dug Nun Zap Bat Ticks Feed Den Buzz Tip Seal God Net Jazz  Palatal Just next to your alveolar ridge is the doom of your mouth. It is hard and it is called hard palate or just palate. The sounds that are formed in this section are called palatals. Palatals are produced when your tongue and the palate are used. Examples [ʃ] [ʧ] Treasure Sheep Church Pleasure Dish Cheese  Velars Even further back in the palate is a soft spot of your mouth. This is your soft palate and known as velum. This place is also used in producing sounds. The velum can come with your back part of your tongue to produce some sounds. These sounds produced by your soft palate and the back of your tongue are called velars Examples [k] [g] Kind Guard Cool Go King Bag Glottals Some sounds may be produced with no active use of the parts of the human speech organs. This sound is known as glottal. The sound produced is normally called a voiceless glottal which is represented by [ h ] such as in heart, house. Similarly the sounds [w] and [j] are also considered to be glottal.  Manner of Articulation Stops These sounds are produced by stopping the airflow very briefly then releasing it abruptly. These sounds are produced when there is sudden blocking and stopping of the airstream. Stops are sometimes called plosives. The sounds that are produced by plosives are: [P). [b). (t). [d). [k) and (g). Fricatives The sounds in this type are produced when air is blocked and is allowed to pass through a small opening. The air is pushed through that produces some friction which produces the sound. These sounds are produced through fricatives: [f], [v], [θ], [ð], [s], [z], [ʃ] and [ʒ]. Affricates These sounds are similar with stops as they require stopping but the difference with stops is that affricate sounds are released with obstruction which causes friction. The sounds that are formed in the manner are: [ ʧ ] and [ʤ ].  Nasal Sounds that pass through the nasal cavity are called nasals. These sounds are all voiced. The sounds are: [n]. [m] and [n). Laterals The [r] and [l] sounds are all lateral sounds or sometimes called liquids. These sounds are formed by letting the air pass through the sides of the tongue.  Glides The sounds [h], [w] and [j] are described as glides. The [h] sound is a voiceless glide,but the two others are voiced and are typically formed with the tongue in motion similar to producing a vowel.
