3 How do the types of Phonetics differ from each other
The main kind of phonetics, articulatory phonetics, analyzes the discourse organs and cycles by which people produce sounds; the attention is on the speaker of the language. The second kind of phonetics, acoustic phonetics, centers around the sound that is created when an individual talks; the point of acoustic phonetics is to comprehend the acoustic properties of discourse, and how that discourse is seen by the audience’s ears. Articulatory Phonetics is the study of the organs of speech. As the title suggests, this type focuses majorly on the production of sound. Here, one studies the use of different speech organs in producing all types of speech sounds by the speaker. For example, the use of your tongue and lips in producing the words like moon, stars, flower, pen, and all other words. 2. Acoustic Phonetics (Transmission) Acoustic Phonetics focuses on the study of transmission of sounds from the speaker to the listener. That is when the speaker says something, how the sound waves travel from the speaker’s speech organs to the listener’s ears. The study of this process of transmission comes under Acoustic Phonetics. For example, when your mom calls for you from another room. The sound waves travel from another room to yours. 3. Auditory Phonetics (Perception) This is the widest of all types of phonetics. This category covers the most important aspect, perception. After the speaker conveys the information and the listener hears it, her/his brain functions to process the information. In simple words, auditory phonetics focuses on the listener’s understanding and processing of the information shared with them. Like, when your teacher explains a topic in class and you are able to understand it after listening to them. This example comes under Auditory Phonetics. 4 What are the functions of phonetic elements 5 the importance of the organs of speech in Phonology Organs of speech are: nasal cavity, lips, teeth, alveolar ridge, larynx, palate (soft and hard), uvula, tongue (tip, blade, front, back), epiglottis, pharynx, vocal cords, and trachea. The air stream released by the lungs goes through the windpipe and comes to the larynx, which contains the vocal cords. The vocal cords are two elastic folds which may be kept apart or brought together. The opening between them is called the glottis. If the tense vocal cords are brought together, the air stream forcing an opening makes them vibrate and we hear some voice. On coming out of the larynx the air stream passes through the pharynx. The pharyngal cavity extends from the top of the larynx to the soft palate, which directs the air stream either to the mouth or nasal cavities, which function as the principal resonators. The soft palate is the furthest part of the palate from the teeth. Most of the palate is hard. This hard and fixed part of the palate is divided into two sections: the hard palate (the highest part of the palate) and the teeth ridge or alveolar ridge. The most important organ of speech is the tongue. Phoneticians divide the tongue into four sections, the part which lies opposite the soft palate is called the back of the tongue; the part facing the hard palate is called the front; the one lying under the teeth ridge is known as the blade and its extremity the t i p . The lips can take up various positions as well. They can be brought firmly together or kept apart neutral, rounded, or protruded forward. Download 34.05 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
