Phonation

presented with a small amount of water. The thin consistency appeared to flow adequately, however, Mr. Fox immediately coughed and cleared his throat indicating possible signs of aspiration. Vocal quality was noted to sound wet when asked to sustain the phonation of “ah”. When presented with a thicker consistency, nectar-thick liquid, Mr. Fox adequately swallowed, however, the thicker consistency was held longer in the oral cavity with a 2 second oral transit time, followed by piecemeal…

The Yorkshire Ripper Hoaxer: case study of Speaker profiling and speaker comparison in Forensic linguistics 1. Introduction “[....] the listener does not necessarily hear what was said, but rather hears their construction of what they think is said; they subconsciously combine the speech signal (the sounds) with prior knowledge of speech, language and context in their own heads (Fraser 2003, cited in Coulthard, et al 2017 p.130). Those words, indirectly, call for reconsideration of…

Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Jack Osbourne. Montell Williams. What do these three celebrities – and many Americans – have in common? They are all living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which is “an adult onset neurological condition in which scattered lesions in the central nervous system [CNS] produce varying combinations of motor, sensory and cognitive impairments” (Yorkston, Baylor, & Amtmann, p. 197). The symptoms depend in part on where the plaques in the CNS are located and can include optic neuritis,…

interjections also known as fillers( uh, um, you know, like).There is another way to categorise stuttering : within word disfluency and between word disfluency. Within word disfluency such as syllable repetitions , prolongations , dysrhythmic phonation and tense pauses are very commonly observed by people as stuttered speech, however, between word disfluency like interjections, revisions, phrase repetitions and multisyllabic whole-word repetitions are less likely to be labelled as stuttered…

I wish that I own a vocal phonation to sing Narayan Gopal’s songs. I know I can’t sing. I have a deep note of voice sinking into the throat. When I want to throw out my voice to sing, I have my voice stuck in the larger soundboard of the adam’s apple. My voice is a low voice and it sounds a little coarse. When the vocal cords in the larynx vibrate, the vibration turns into a bass range, among the lowest range of voice of a male vocal tract. I have a strong desire sing, sometimes once in a…

The larynx’s main function is to provide airway, protect thr bronchial tree and to allow phonation. When there are growths that develop on the structure, the function is compromised. Laryngeal Cancer is characterized as a disease where masses, cancer cells, begin to accumulate in the larynx. Laryngeal Cancer is a very rare type of cancer, according to cancerresearchuk, approximately twenty-four thousand of patients are diagnosed with Laryngeal Cancer in a year, which is relatively two to five…

By using a device that measures pitch levels, the patient can see the target pitch and then compares it to the patient’s pitch level. SLPs also recommend for the patient to laugh and clear their throat during therapy in order to redirect their phonation. Fluency disorders, such as stuttering, disrupts the smoothness of speech and communication. Stuttering involves repeating phrases or words, and can affect daily activities such as talking on the phone, presentations, and even in the working…

The Upper Respiratory Tract The human respiratory system involves complex organization of structural and defense mechanisms for the inhalation and exhalation of gases. The primary function of the respiratory system is to breathe air, provide oxygen to the bloodstream, and expel carbon dioxide. The respiratory system also provides transport of respiratory gases, internal respiration, pulmonary ventilation, and external respiration. There are two zones of the respiratory system, the conducting…

structure of speech production mechanism involves how human beings produce sound (Honda 2003). When humans produce sounds it is one way in which humans communicate (Harrub, Thompson and Miller n.d.). Speech production mechanism involves different physiological structures that interact. Spoken language can be recognised through articulatory phonetics. Linguistic can be represented through articulator movements that in return make speech a way to transfer information. This can only happen with…

Dolphins are one of the most interesting animals in the marine life. From the way they communicate with each other, to their friendly way around other animals or humans, these animals are pretty well known in the marine world. The name dolphin comes from the Greek word delphis which means “fish with a womb”. Dolphins belong to the taxonomic category “Odontoceti” which also means “toothed whale”. Dolphins match these characteristics of an “Odontoceti”, such as, they have teeth and a single…
