Document Summary
What are the four overlapping processes which produce speech: respiration = power source of speech, phonation = rapid opening and closing of the glottis; involves the. Larynx; regulates air flow to produce voiced and voiceless segments; voiced phonation is created by sub-glottal air pressure: resonance = modification of the airstream by the positioning, size, shape, and muscle contractions of the resonating cavities; Resonating cavities are pharyngeal, nasal, oral, and velopharyngeal; they amplify or subdue the phonated airstream which results in what we hear: articulation = the manner in which the parts come together; Motoric process of adjustments and movement of speech structures and vocal tract; these movements modify the airstream. A person with damaged vocal folds will have difficulties with (circle the correct answer): T or f the size of the tongue within the oral cavity is a factor which may influence resonance.
