B- Phonetics
C- Speech science or the phonetic science, phonology
D- Phonology

II. True /False: Decide whether the following statements are true or false:
9/ A speech sound is a physical event with three aspects: physiology, acoustic,
auditory.

10/ There are four main areas of phonetics.

11/ The production of different speech sounds through the use of the organs of
speech is known as articulation.

12/ It is not important to know which articulators are involved in sound

production.

13/ Phonology is the study and identification of the distinctive units of sound in
a language.

14/ Articulatory phonetics deals with how speech sounds are perceived by the
listener.

15/ The shape of the vocal tract can be changed by the position of the tongue
and the lips.

III. Fill the gaps using words from the box.

Pharyngeal larynx The hard palate Phonology The tongue

Sounds produced within the (16) ................. or vocal tract are influenced by the
shape of the (17) ................., oral (mouth) and nasal cavities in the vocal tract
through which the air stream passes.

The passive articulators are a- the upper teeth, b- the teeth ridge (the alveolar
ridge), and (18)................... The active articulators are a-pharynx, b-soft palate
or velum, c-lips, d-jaws,cords (19)............, and f- the vocal cords.

Some apply the term” phonetics” to the physical, including physiological,

aspects of speech; other prefer to reserve the term “(20).............” for the study
of the more abstract, the more functional, or the more psychological aspects of
the underpinnings of speech.
