Vocal tract develops most growth when?

between birth and 4 years of age

articulators role

(1) alter shape of vocal tract, (2) create source of vibrational energy at some point in the tract above the vocal folds

Lips biomechanical properties

mass- small relative to force available, viscosity- measurable but relatively small, elasticity- very large, muscle- fast twitch

mandible biomechanical properties

mass- large, lots of inertia, muscle- large & fast

tongue biomechanical properties

mass-negligible in relation to muscle forces available, viscosity- " "

most important articulator

tongue

hydostat

means that displacement in one area results in displacement in another without change in volume, composed mainly of muscles with no skeletal support

muscles that depresses mandible

digastricus, mylohyoid, genioghyoid, lateral pteroygoid

muscles that elevate mandible

temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid

what's unique about the elevator muscles of mandible

only muscle of the mandible that have muscle spindles, providing feedback to the neuromotor system

extrinsic muscles of tongue

provide major movements

intrinsic muscle of tongue

involve shaping of the tongue

Elevates tongue tip

superior longitudinal

depresses the tongue

genioglossus (medial) hyoglossus & chonodroglossus (side)

deviates the tongue

left to right (superior & inferior longitudinal)



protrudes the tongue

posterior genioglossus

retract the tongue

genioglossus for retraction into the oral cavity

antagonist muscle

palatoglossus

compare velocity of movement of the tongue and the velum

velum- velocity movement strongly affected by phonetic context.


tongue- lingual movement velocity related to distance to be traveled



tensor veli palatini

muscle of the velum that is not as active during speech, is more for swallowing & opening the eustachian tube

purpose of articulator movement of speech

to control airflow simultaneously with changing vocal tract shape so that sound stream is created

airflow control

aerodynamic phenomenon

shape control

acoustic phenomenon

direction & velocity of air movement controlled in vocal tract

controlled by changes in airway size

sound productions of lips

b, p, m, w

sound production of teeth

f, v

sound production of alveolar ridge

t, d, s, z

sound production of hard palate

r, j

sound production of velum

k, g, n

plosive sounds

p, t, k

resonator

anything that vibrates will do so at a natural resonant frequency

formant

band of frequencies at which vibration will occur with the greatest amplitude

what is the vocal tract function in terms of filter

vocal tract will function as an acoustic filter because humans have the capacity to modulate which frequencies will be passed through and which frequencies will be attenuated by changing vocal tract

high front vowels

i

low back vowel

ae

mid front vowel

e

back vowel

u

what happens during production of the vowel in terms of tongue movement

As the tongue moves up, frequency of F1 goes downand as the tongue moves forward, frequency of F2 goes up.As the tongue moves down, frequency of F1 goes up,and as the tongue moves back frequency of F2 goes down.
