    The document summarizes the main parts of the speech organs in 3 sentences: The speech organs can be divided into the lungs, which provide air, the larynx, which contains the vocal cords that generate sound, and cavities like the mouth and nose, which act as resonators to produce speech sounds. The lungs' primary function is breathing but they also provide the necessary air for speech. The larynx contains the vocal cords or folds that vibrate to create voiced sounds and is located in the Adam's apple or voice box.

    II.

    THE SPEECH ORGANS

    The totality of speech organs= the vocal tract/the


    speech mechanism. The speech mechanism may be
    divided into three main parts according to the role they
    have in the production of speech sounds:
    2.1. The lungs= the sound source
    2.2. The larynx= sound generator
    2.3. The cavities= resonators

    2.1. The lungs


    -primary function: breathing
    -secondary function: to produce the air necessary for the
    production of speech sounds

    2.2. The larynx

    - Adams apple, thyroid cartilage the


    outer wall of the larynx (voice box) vocal
    cords/folds= elastic bands

    The Sammy Diagram (Kevin Russell, University of Manitoba)

    The articulators above the larynx

    2.3. The cavities

    - -The pharynx: 7 cm women, 8 cm men; 3


    positions: raised, lowered, mid;
    - The mouth: mobile parts (tongue, lips,
    jaws) + fixed parts (teeth, hard palate,
    alveolar ridge);
    - The nose;

    The cavities

    Divisions of the tongue
