A Brief Summary of Speech Production

Speech production is made possible by the


General Statement
(Pernyataan Umum)
specialized movements of our vocal organs that
generate speech sounds waves.

Like all sound production, speech production


requires a source of energy. The source of
energy for speech production is the steady
stream of air that comes from the lungs as we
exhale. When we breathe normally, the air
stream is inaudible. To become audible, the
air stream must vibrate rapidly. The vocal
cords cause the air stream to vibrate.

As we talk, the vocal cords open and close


Explanation
(Penjelasan) rapidly, chopping up the steady air stream
into a series of puffs. These puffs are heard as
a buzz. But buzz is still not speech.

To produce speech sounds, the vocal tract


must change shape. During speech we
continually alter the shape of the vocal track by
moving the tongue and lips, etc. These
movements change the acoustic properties
of the vocal tract, which in turn produce the
different sounds of speech.
