Week 8
How language works:
Phonetics:
the physical reality of sound
Speech production
Air pushed past vocal chords makes them vibrate
Changing shape of vocal cavity modulates sound
Different shape =
different wavelengths resonate (have the most energy)
High frequency = tightly packed waves
Low frequency = longer waves
Vocal tract: tube with lots of kinks and bends, can produce
complex combinations of resonating frequencies
Articulators: change shape of vocal cavity
Vowels
Vocal chords vibrate
Vocal tract air flow not closed off or
significantly impeded
Distinguishing Vowels
Articulatory correlates of distinctive
features:
Height: high vs. low
Frontedness: front vs. back
Roundedness: rounded vs. unrounded (lips)
Elongation: long vs. short

=roundedDiphthongs
vowel glidestongue position moves
during production of a diphthong.Examples:
say [ei]
boy [oi]
fine, ice [ai]
so, sew [ou]
cow [au]
Monophthongs
vowels where tongue position does not
move
Monophthongization: pronunciation of a
diphthong as a monophthong:
fine, ice [fain, ais] [fa:n, a:s]
Spectrograms: picturing sound
portrayal of how in speech the energy at
given frequencies changes over time
Differences between vowels=
concentration of energy at different
frequencies (called formants)
Vowel
Spectrograms:
time
frequency
darkness of plot=
sound energy
dark bands=
vowel formants
Consonants
Air flow is stopped or impeded
Stops = plosive consonants:
silence (closure of vocal tract) followed byshort burst of noise
Fricative consonants: noise at certain broad
span of frequencies
