We also find secondary articulation in speech such as labialisation, palatalisation, velarisation, pharangealisation, and nasalisation.
Co-articulation
We don’t usually make speech sounds in isolation. Speech is full of co-articulation: speech sounds can be influenced by preceding and following sounds. Video from the Virtual Linguistics Campus.
Introduction to Articulatory Phonetics (Vowels)
Now we look at how speakers produce vowel sounds (video from UBC eNunciate).
Introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet
Having learned a bit about articulation of consonants and vowels, we see how speech sounds are abstracted in the International Phonetic Alphabet (video from the University of British Columbia eNunciate project).
Introduction to Articulatory Phonetics (Consonants)
An introduction to how people make speech sounds, i.e. articulatory phonetics, starting with consonants. This video is from the University of British Columbia eNunciate project.
Time domain
Sound is a wave of pressure travelling through a medium, such as air. We can plot the variation in pressure against time to visualise the waveform.
This is the new version. Still under construction.
