Speech production is the process by which thoughts are translated into speech. This includes the selection of words, the organization of relevant grammatical forms, and then the articulation of the resulting sounds by the motor system using the vocal apparatus. Speech production can be spontaneous such as when a person creates the words of a conversation, reactive such as when they name a picture or read aloud a written word, or imitative, such as in speech repetition. Speech production is not the same as language production since language can also be produced manually by signs.
Ordinary fluent conversation people pronounce roughly four syllables,
ten or twelve phonemes and two to three words out of their vocabulary (that can contain 10 to 100 thousand words) each second.[1] Errors in speech production are relatively rare occurring at a rate of about once in every 900 words in spontaneous speech.[2] Words that are commonly spoken or learned early in life or easily imagined are quicker to say than ones that are rarely said, learnt later in life, or are abstract Places of articulation Main article: Place of articulation Human vocal apparatus used to produce speech The physical structure of the human nose, throat, and vocal cords allows for the productions of many unique sounds, these areas can be further broken down into places of articulation. Different sounds are produced in different areas, and with different muscles and breathing techniques. [28] Our ability to utilize these skills to create the various sounds needed to communicate effectively is essential to our speech production. Speech is a psychomotor activity. Speech between two people is a conversation – they can be casual, formal, factual, or transactional, and the language structure/ narrative genre employed differs depending upon the context. Affect is a significant factor that controls speech, manifestations that disrupt memory in language use due to affect include feelings of tension, states of apprehension, as well as physical signs like nausea. Language level manifestations that affect brings could be observed with the speaker’s hesitations, repetitions, false starts, incompletion, syntactic blends, etc. Difficulties in manner of articulation can contribute to speech difficulties and impediments.[29] It is suggested that infants are capable of making the entire spectrum of possible vowel and consonant sounds. IPA has created a system for understanding and categorizing all possible speech sounds, which includes information about the way in which the sound is produced, and where the sounds is produced.[29] This is extremely useful in the understanding of speech production because speech can be transcribed based on sounds rather than spelling, which may be misleading depending on the language being spoken. Average speaking rates are in the 120 to 150 words per minute (wpm) range, and same is the recommended guidelines for recording audiobooks. As people grow accustomed to a particular language they are prone to lose not only the ability to produce certain speech sounds, but also to distinguish between these sounds
B.) Kelompok 2 chapter two, description and classification of speech sound
Description speech sound : Speech sounds are broadly divided into two categories, namely, Vowels and Consonants. If we say the English word shoe, we realize that this word is made up of two sounds, one represented by the letter sh and the letter oe. When we produce the word represented the letter sh slowly, we realize that during the production this sound, the air escapes through the mouth freely and we do not hear any friction. The sound that is represented by the letter sh in the word shoe is a consonant and the sound represented by the letters oe in the word shoe is Vowel. To describe a consonant sound, we need certain important pieces of information. We need to know the following regarding its production: The air stream mechanism;
The state of the glottis;
The position of the soft-palate;
The active articulator;
The passive articulator;
1. The stricture involved.
The air –stream mechanism: All English sounds (vowels as well as consonants) are produced with a pulmonic egressive air-stream mechanism, i.e., lung-air pushed out. 2. The state of glottis; Speech sounds can be classified voiceless or voiced, depending upon whether the vocal cords are wide apart and the glottis is wide open (voiceless) or the vocal cords are kept loosely together and they vibrate (voiced). The position of the soft-palate; Speech sounds can be classified as oral or nasal, depending upon whether the soft-palate is raised so as to shut off the nasal passage of air (oral) or it is lowered to open the nasal passage of air simultaneously with an oral closure (nasal). Sounds can also be nasalized.
C.) Kelompok 3 The English consonant
Bilabial Plosive /p : Description : The soft palate being raised and the nasal resonator shut off, the primary obstacle to the air – stream is provided by the closure of the lips. Lung air is compressed behind this closure, during which stage the vocal cords are held wide apart for /p/, according to its situation in the utterance. The air escapes with force when the lip closure is released Example : /p/ : Pen, pound, poor, post, etc /b/ : cub, lab, robe, rib, etc. Alveolar Plosives /t,d/ : Description : Lung air is compressed behind this closure , during which stage the vocal cords are wide apart for /t/, but my vibrate for all part of the compression stage for /d/ according to its situation in the utterance. The lip position for /t/ and /d/ will be conditioned by that of the adjacent sounds, especially that of a following vowel or semi-vowel . Example : /t/ : take, toy, tail, town, etc /d/ : day, doll, desk, dog, etc Description : Lung air is compressed behind this closure during which stage the vocal cords are wide apart for /k/, but may vibrate for all or part of the compression stage for /g/ according to its situation in the utterance. The lip position will be conditioned by that of adjacent sound, especially following vowels or semi vowels. Spread lips for the plosives in keen, geese, and somewhat rounded lips for the plosives in cool, goose. Example : /k/ : cook, cake, come, key, etc /g/ : go, goat, girl, goose, gate, Etc Velar Plosives

Kelompok 5 Labio Dental Fricatives by alrino LABIO – DENTAL FRICATIVES /F, V/…. INTRODUCTION Labio dental fricatives are part of the english consonant, as we see in the previous chapter three, there are a lot of consonant sounds that you know. But I can only explain the fifth point, namely the labio dental fricatives and dental fricatives. Labio dental fricatives ( fig, /f,v/….) Dental Fricatives ( fig, /o, o’ / ) Labio dental fricatives The soft palate being raised and the nasal resenator shut off, the inner surface of the lower lip makes a light contact with the edge of the upper teeth. So that the escaping air produces friction. The actual point of contact will vary somewhat according to the adjacent sound, e.g. in the case of a back strongly rounded vowel or of a billabial plosive (floor, roof, obvious), the contact on the lower lip tends to be more retracted than in the case of a front spread vowel (feel, leaf). Examples : /F/ Fortis ( f, ff, ph, gh, e.g, “ off physies enough ) WORD INITIAL ( feet, fit, fat, father, fool, fail, photo ) WORD MEDIAL ( affair, defend, offer, tougher, loafer, suffer, selfish….) /V/ LENIS ( v, f, ph, e.g, vine, of, nephew ) WORD INITIAL ( veal, vast, vain, vice, voice ) WORD MEDIAL ( ever, fever, over, silver, cover ) The soft palate being raised and the nasal resonator shut off, the tif and rims of the tongue make a light contact with the edge and inner surface of the upper incisors and a firmer contact with the upper side teeth, so that the air escaping between the forward surface of the tongue and the incisors causes friction. With some speaker, the tongue – tip may protrude through the teeth. Examples : /0/ FORTIS ( spelt always ‘th’ ) WORD INITIAL ( thief, thick, thatch, thought, thumb ) WORD MEDIAL ( ethies, ether, method, …) WORD FINAL ( smith, heath, breath, path, …)
F.) Kelompok 6 Palato alveolar Fricatives until Bilabial Nasal
What is Palato Alveolar fricative? Palato alveolar is a sound that occurs due to the narrowing between the tongue leaf and alveolum and front of the tongue and the hard palate. And fricative are characterised by a “hissing”sound which is produced by the air escaping through a small passage in the mouth. The soft palate being raised and the nasal resonator shutt off, the tip and blade of the tongue make a light contact with the alveolar ridge, the front of the tongue being raised at the same in the direction of the hard palate and the side rims of the tongue being contact with upper side teeth. Shop fashion wish pleasure Share occean push leisure She election bush desicion Shall delicious rush collision Shoulder mention irish measure Glottal fricative also called the breathy-voiced glottal transition is a type of sound used in some spoken languages which patterns like a fricative or approximant consonant phonologically, but often lacks the usual phonetic characteristics of a consonant. Since English /h/ occurs only in syllable initial, prevocalic positions, it may be regarded as a strong, voiceless onset of the vowel in question. Bilabial nasal (also known as dwibibir consonants) are consonants that are articulated using both lips. The lips form a closure as for /p, b/; the soft palate is lowered, adding the resonance of the nasal cavity to those of the pharynx and the mouth chamber closed by the lips; the tongue will generally

H.) THE ALVEOLAR FRICTIONLESS CONTINUANT / r /
Description: The soft palate being raised and the nasal resonator shut off. The tip of the tongue is held in a position near to, but not fouching. The rear part of the upper teeth ridge: the back rims of the tongue are touching the upper molars; the central part of the tongue is lowered, with a general contraction of the tongue, so that the effect of the tongue position is one of hallowing and slight retroflexion of the tip. The air steam is thus allowed to escape freely. Without friction, over the centre part of the tongue. The lip position is determined largely by that of following vowel.‘reach’ without neutral to spread lips. Word initial : reed, rag, royal. b) Word medial intervocalic : mirror, very, sorry c) Word final : far away, poor old man, once for all. d) In consonantal cluaters 1. following fortis accented plosive: price, proud, trece, try, cream, crow: expression, surprise, attract, decree, extremely 2. following fortis fricative, unaccented fortis plosive, or accented fortis plosive preceded by /s/ in the same syllable: fry, afraid, throw thrive, shrink, shrug, apron, nitrate, cockroach; sprint, sprat street, strain, seream. Serape 3. following lenis consonant-lricative afler /d/: brief, bright, dress. Dry, grey grow, umbrella, address. Agree. Hungry, comrade, sovereigr general, miserable. e) Word containing more the one / r / : Brewery, library, arrowroot Description: The vocalic allophones of RP / j / are articulated by the tongue assuming the position for a front half-close to close vowel (depending on the degree of openness of the following sound) and moving away immediately to the position of the following sound: Example: Word initial: yes, yard, young Following accented care, pure, secure Following fortis fricatives or unaccented : refuse, pursue, opulent Following lenis consonant : beauty, duty, music, new.

J.) Kelompok 10 Chapter four, The English Vowels
These letters are vowels in English: A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y. It is said that Y is “sometimes” a vowel, because the letter Y represents both vowel and consonant sounds. In the words cry, sky, fly, my and why, letter Y represents the vowel sound /aɪ/. In words like myth and synchronize, Y represents the vowel sound /ɪ/. In words like only, quickly, and folly, Y represents the vowel sound /i/. It can also be a consonant sound called a glide as in the beginning of these words: yellow, yacht, yam, yesterday. Y is a consonant about 2.5% of the time, and a vowel about 97.5% of the time.[1] In written English the six vowel letters are used to represent the 13-15 vowel sounds (depending on the variety) in English.[2] This means there are many more vowel sounds than letters in the English alphabet, and the English spelling systems doesn’t always help us figure out what the English sounds are. This can be confusing.
The rest of the letters of the alphabet are consonants:
B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y (sometimes), and Z. There are 15 vowels sounds in English:
1. /i:/ eat, bead, bee
2. /ɪ/ id, bid, pit 3. /eɪ/ eight, wade, bay 4. /ɛ/ bet, fed 5. /æ/ ask, bat, glad 6. /ʌ/ under, putt, bud 7. /ɑ:/ cot, bomb 8. /u:/ boot, two, tube 9. /ʊ/ foot, should, put 10. /oʊ/ oat, own, zone, blow 11. /ɔ/ caught, paw, port 12. /ɚ/ merge, bird, further Diptongs: 13. /aɪ/ ice, bite, tie 14. /aʊ/ out, gown, plow 15. /oɪ/ oyster, coil, boy K.)

A complex speech sound or glide that begins with one vowel and gradually changes to another vowel within the same syllable, as (oi) in boil or (ī) in fine. One of the best diphthong examples is the word “oil.” Here, we have two vowels working side by side and, together, they create a sound different than anything “O” or “I” alone can produce. ... /ʊə/ Fur.
