    This document discusses articulatory phonetics and the speech organs involved in producing sounds. It describes the three groups of speech organs - the respiratory system including the lungs, the phonetic system including the larynx and vocal folds, and the articulatory system including the vocal tract. It explains how different positions of the mouth and oral cavity are used to produce different sounds. It also defines vowels and consonants, and discusses voiced and voiceless sounds, minimal pairs, and phonemes and allophones.

    Articulatory Phonetics

    Lcda. Josmary Cuauro


    SPEECH ORGANS

    The organs of speech fall into three


    groups:

    Respiratory system: Lungs, generating


    air stream

    Phonetic system: larynx and vocal


    folds.

    Articulatory system: vocal tract.


    SPEECH ORGANS
    SPEECH ORGANS
    ARTICULATORY PHONETICS:
    To produce any kind of sound, there must be
    movement of air. To produce sounds that
    people today can interpret as words, the
    movement of air must pass through the vocal
    folds, up through the throat and, into the mouth
    or nose to then leave the body. Different sounds
    are formed by different positions of the mouth
    or, as linguists call it, "the oral cavity" (to
    distinguish it from the nasal cavity).
    Vowel
    Vowel is an individual sound unit of speech.

    CONSONANT
    Consonants are produced with some form of
    restriction or closing in the vocal tract that
    hinders the air flow from the lungs.
    Consonants are classified according to where
    in the vocal tract the airflow has been
    restricted. This is also known as the place of
    articulation.
    All the sounds produced in the English are
    either voiced or voiceless. Voiced sounds
    occur when the vocal cords vibrate when
    the sound is produced. There is no vocal
    cord vibration when producing voiceless
    sounds. To test this, place your finger tips
    hand on your throat as you say the sounds.
    When saying the voiced sounds, you
    should be able to feel a vibration. When
    saying the voiceless sounds you sound not
    be able to feel a vibration.
    Minimal pairs
    Minimal pairs are words that vary by only a single sound
    Minimal pairs

    Vowel Sounds:
    Minimal Pairs // and /i:/ (sit and seat)
    Minimal Pairs /e/ and // (desk and disk)
    Minimal Pairs /e/ and /e/ (wet and wait)
    Minimal Pairs // and // (bat and but)
    Minimal Pairs // and /:/ (so and saw)
    Minimal Pairs // and // (not and note)
    Minimal Pairs // and /e/ (bad and bed)
    Minimal Pairs /:/ and /:/ (fast and first)
    Minimal pairs

    Consonant Sounds
    Minimal Pairs /b/ and /v/ (berry and very)
    Minimal Pairs /b/ and /p/ (buy and pie)
    Minimal Pairs /n/ and // (thin and thing)
    Minimal Pairs // and /t/ (catch and cat)
    Initial Consonant Sounds
    Minimal Pairs initial /f/ and /p/ (fast and past)
    Minimal Pairs initial /k/ and /g/ (came
    and game)
    Minimal Pairs initial /t/ and /d/ (two and do)
    Final Consonant Sounds
    Minimal Pairs final /k/ and /g/ (back and bag)
    Minimal Pairs final /m/ and /n/ (am and an)
    Minimal Pairs final /t/ and /d/ (hat and had)
    Phonemes

    Phonemes are the linguistically


    contrastive or significant sounds (or sets
    of sounds) of a language.

    Allophones

    Allophones are individual


    sounds.
