Phonetics coming together.

On this website one will learn about the articulatory phonetics, the acoustic phonetics, and how they come together to make sentences, words, and syllables. The established process of describing speech sounds is in terms of the actions of the vocal organs that they are produced by. The most important arrangements that are significant in the production of speech are the lungs and the respiratory system. Then there are the consonants which is the creation of the airstreams through which the vocal tract is obstructed. The three types of airstreams are pulmonic which is caused by the expiration of the air from the lungs, glottalic which is the glottal stop and closing that is moved quickly in pulling the air in the pharynx, and the velaric which is movements of the tongue to suck air into the mouth. Also on this website we will learn about the different vowels used in phonetics such as the mid vowels, unrounded vowels and the lax vowels. Acoustic phonetics is speech sounds which consist of small differences in air pressure that can be sensed by the ear. Like other sounds, speech sounds can be divided into two major classes the vowel and consonant formats. We also learn who the first phoneticians are and what they did.
