THE ORGANS OF SPEECH AND THEIR WORK
I n any language people speak using their organs of speech.
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. This is the
usual state of the vocal cords, when we breathe out. If the tense vocal cords are brought together, the air stream forcing an opening makes them vibrate and we hear some
voice. The sounds produced are called
voiced. When no vibration is felt, no voice is heard. This is a
voiceless sound, which is made with the vocal cords kept apart.
There is one more state of the vocal cords,
which results in the glottal stop. When the vocal cords are brought close together and then opened suddenly by the air stream there comes a sort of coughing noise, a kind of click of the vocal cords. This is called the glottal stop.
On coming out of the larynx the air stream passes through the
pharynx.
The pharyngeal 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 can be easily seen in a hand mirror. The very end of the soft palate is known as
the uvula. The soft palate is the furthest part of the palate from the teeth. Most of the palate is hard. This hard part of the palate is divided into two sections:
the hard palate and
the teeth ridge or alveolar ridge.
The
teeth, which are very important for making sounds, can be
lower and upper.
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 extremely
the tip. By the central part of the tongue we mean the area where the front and back meet. The edges of the tongue are known as the
rims.
The
lips can take up various positions as well. They can be brought firmly together or kept apart
neutral, rounded, or protruded.
All the organs of speech can be divided into two groups:
