Systems in Speech Mechanism

 Nervous System
 Respiratory System
 Laryngeal System
 Resonatory & Articulatory System
Resonatory System

• Pharynx
• Mouth/Oral Cavity
• Nose/Nasal Cavity

Velopharyngeal Port: Door between Oral tract and nasal


tract

VP Port open  Air through the nasal tract

VP Port Close  Air through the Oral tract


Articulatory System
Oral Tract
 Tongue: Base
 Palate: Roof
 Teeth & Lips: Front Parts

Oral Tract  Filter


Systems and its functions
Systems Functions

1. Respiratory System Respiration

2. Laryngeal System Protection

2. Articulatory System Chewing/Mastication

Speech is an OVERLAID FUNCTION


Description OF Speech Sounds

Voicing

Manner of Articulation

Place of Articulation
Voicing

• Voiced/Voiceless (Unvoiced)
• Vowels
• Consonants
Manner of Articulation

• Vowels  Tongue movements, Open oral tract

• Consonants  Obstruction in the oral tract


Manner of Articulation
Stop Consonants

Fricatives

Affricates

Nasal Continuants

Diphthongs

Glides

Laterals
Stop Consonants

• /k/, /g/, /t/, /d/, /p/ and /b/ (oral tract closed)
 Stop Consonants

• Obstruction of the oral tract or Closed oral


tract
• Building air pressure behind the articulator
• Releasing the air pressure by opening the
articulator
Fricatives

• /s/, /sh/,  fricatives

• Small constriction between tongue and the


palate.
Affricates

• /ch/, /dz/,  Affricates

• Middle of the tongue lifts and touches the


palate.
Nasal Continuants

• /m/, /n/ & /ng/ Affricates

• Closed oral tract and open nasal tract


Diphthongs and Glides

Diphthong: /ai/, /au/


 articulator moves slow from one articulator to
another

Glides: /y/, /v/


 articulator moves fast from one articulator to
another
Laterals

 Middle part of oral tract:


 Closed, air escapes from the sides of the
tongue
 /l/ and /l/
.
