Document Summary
Linguistics - studies languages as a whole. Phonetics - sounds used in human language: sounds we make in speech how we produce, how they are transferred from speaker to hearer as sound waves, and how we hear and perceive them. Articulatory phonetics - production of sounds: air passes through complex passage-way (lungs, windpipe, vocal folds, throat, mouth and nose) Acoustic phonetics - vibrations of speech sounds: sound transmitted by vibrations in the air. Auditory phonetics - how sounds are heard and perceived. Cone-shaped structures in chest composed of spongy, elastic material. Alveoli - small air sacs, where oxygen from fresh air is exchanged for co2 in the blood. Lungs expand -> air is drawn in. Lungs compressed -> air is expelled while breathing in) Top of trachea just behind notch at top of breastbone: holding breath with mouth open, close vocal folds preventing air from leaving or entering lungs = glottal stop supporting several muscles.
