Pulmonic, Velaric and glottalic

9
Q

The larynx

10
Q

What does the initiator do?

A

The initiator moves the air

11
Q

Name the 3 roles of the larynx.

A

Articulation (glottal stop), Voicing (phonation) and being an Initiator.

12

When the glottis is closed what happens?

A

There is no air from the lungs

13
Q

In the glottalic airstream mechanism where does 100cm3/small amount of air exist between?

A

100 cm3 of air exists between the glottis and the lips

14
Q

In the glottalic airstream mechanism there is no air from the lungs, so there is no air from _________.

A

under the glottis

15
Q

In the glottalic airstream mechanism, there is no air from under the glottis, what is this air known as?

A

This is known as supra-glottal air (above the glottal).

16
Q

Describe the movement of air from the glottis to the lips.

A

The larynx is the initiator so either pushes air out, or pulls air in.

17
Q

What does the larynx act as?

A

As a piston/syringe

18
Q

When the larynx moves up, air moves ____.

A

out

19
Q

When the larynx moves down, air moves ____.

A

in

20
Q

Name the 3 glottalic sounds that can be produced.

A

ejectives, implosives and voiced implosives.

21
Q

Articulation in the glottalic airstream mechanism is the same as normal with closure in the _____ _____.

A

oral cavity

22
Q

Glottalic sounds need both closure at the ____ and in the ______ _____.

A

glottis, oral cavity

23
Q

Ejectives are produced using the ______ ______ airstream mechanism.

A

Egressive Glottalic

24
Q

Ejectives are _______.

A

Egressive

25
Q

When producing ejectives the glottis is ____.

A

Closed

26
Q

When ejectives are produced using the _______ glottalic airstream , the larynx moves ___.

A

Egressive, up

27
Q

When the larynx moves up the air is ________.

A

compressed

28
Q

Ejectives make a ______ sound.

A

popping

29
Q

Ejectives are non ______.

A

English

30
Q

Ejectives are used in some languages such as in _____.

A

Africa

31
Q

Implosives are ______.

A

Ingressive

32
Q

Implosives are the opposite of _____.

A

ejectives

33
Q

When producing implosives the glottis is _____.

A

closed

34
Q

When producing implosives the ______ moves _____.

A

larynx, down

35
Q

When the larynx moves down this creates a _____ effect, known as ________ _____.

A

suction, rarefied air

36
Q

What airstream are implosives produced by?

A

The Ingressive Glottalic Airstream mechanism

37
Q

Implosives can be both _____ and _______.

A

voiced and voiceless

38
Q

How is a voiced implosive produced differently from a voiceless implosive?

A

It is produced the same as a voiceless implosive apart from the glottis is not completely closed.

39
Q

When the glottis isn’t completely closed what does this allow?

A

a small amount of air from the lungs which allows the vocal folds to vibrate.

40
Q

Name the airflows used to produce a VOICED implosive.

A

Glottalic airflow and pulmonic airflow

41
Q

What airflow does voicing require?

A

Pulmonic Egressive Airflow

42

46
Q

name the airstream where air exists between the velum and the lips.

47
Q

What can the velum also be called?
