Speech Generation and Perception
Speech Generation and Perception
Schematic diagram of the human speech production
Organs of Speech :
* Lungs and trachea :
o source of air during speech.
o The vocal organs work by using compressed air; this is supplied by the lungs and delivered to the system by way of the trachea.
o These organs also control the loudness of the resulting speech.
o The trachea and lungs together constitute the pulmonary tract.
* The Larynx :
o This is a complicated system of cartilages and muscle containing and controlling the vocal cords. Principle parts are :
o The place where the vocal folds come together is called the glottis.
* The Vocal Tract :
o Laryngeal pharynx
o Oral pharynx
o Nasal pharynx
o Oral cavity
o Nasal cavity

Magnitude Spectrum Of One Pulse Of The Volume Velocity At The Glottis
Position Of The Vocal Cords And Cartilages (a) For Phonation (b) For Whispering
Speech Production :
* The operation of the system is divided into two functions :
o Excitation
o Modulation
* Excitation :is done in several ways
Hearing and perception :
