Vocal folds

abnormal laryngeal function in hearing-impaired speakers (Metz,Whitehead & Mahshie,1982).” These films reveal that children are not positioning their vocal folds appropriately before the onset of phonation. In one hearing-impaired child, a “high amount of medial compression on the arytenoid cartilages was observed and only the anterior one-third of the folds vibrated freely” (Osberger and McGarr, 1982). The films also exposed the inappropriate add/abduction in VCV utterance when C was…

Non-Pulmonic Consonants: Non-pulmonic consonants are consonants created without the guidance of air from the lungs. There are three types of non-pulmonic consonants: clicks, voiced implosives, and ejectives. Clicks are formed by placing two articulatory structures together and separating them rapidly. Voiced implosives are air that is inhaled to produce the desired sound. The air is used before it reaches the lungs. Ejectives are generated by upward movement of the closed glottis. Non-pulmonic…

Terrestrial and aquatic mammals, although from different taxa and completely different environments, communicate over long distance in similar ways, but of course have differences since they evolved from different ancestors. Specific to this paper, elephants and whales are discussed; the way their ears, external or internal, are structures and how each section of their ears function to aid in the process of hearing frequencies from conspecifics. Elephants not only use their large ears to…

I took a slightly different approach and decided to evaluate Valley Metro’s bus system. I choose the public transportation because I use it on a regular basis and have become very familiar with the way operate and I had easy access to it.
