  2. Phonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonation

    The amount of lung pressure needed to begin phonation is defined by Titze as the oscillation threshold pressure. [1] During glottal closure, the air flow is cut off until breath pressure pushes the folds apart and the flow starts up again, causing the cycles to repeat. [8]

  3. Place of articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_of_articulation

    That is, a consonant may be lateral alveolar, like English /l/ (the tongue contacts the alveolar ridge, but allows air to flow off to the side), or lateral palatal, like Castilian Spanish ll /ʎ/. Some Indigenous Australian languages contrast dental, alveolar, retroflex, and palatal laterals, and many Native American languages have lateral ...

  4. Airstream mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airstream_mechanism

    These changes in pressure often correspond to outward and inward airflow, and are therefore termed egressive and ingressive respectively. Of these six resulting airstream mechanisms, four are found lexically around the world, alongside the percussive sounds produced without an airstream mechanism, for a total of five:

  5. Articulatory phonetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulatory_phonetics

    Since pressure is a force applied to a surface area by definition and a force is the product of mass and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the pressure inequality will be resolved by having part of the mass in air molecules found in the subglottal cavity move to the supraglottal cavity. This movement of mass is airflow.

  6. Phonetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonetics

    The lungs are used to maintain two kinds of pressure simultaneously to produce and modify phonation. To produce phonation at all, the lungs must maintain a pressure of 3–5 cm H 2 O higher than the pressure above the glottis. However small and fast adjustments are made to the subglottal pressure to modify speech for suprasegmental features ...

  7. Ingressive sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingressive_sound

    In phonetics, ingressive sounds are sounds by which the airstream flows inward through the mouth or nose. The three types of ingressive sounds are lingual ingressive or velaric ingressive (from the tongue and the velum), glottalic ingressive (from the glottis), and pulmonic ingressive (from the lungs).

  8. Alveolar pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_pressure

    Image illustrating transpulmonary, intrapleural and intra-alveolar pressure. Alveolar pressure (P alv) is the pressure of air inside the lung alveoli.When the glottis is opened and no air is flowing into or out of the lungs, alveolar pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure, that is, zero cmH 2 O.
