Voice producing mechanism - this is the mechanism, this is the way we produce

segmental sounds and suprasegmental phenomena.

It studies respiration, phonation and articulation.
Respiration has 2 phases - inspiration and expiration
Sounds are based on expiration. The lungs supply the necessary air pressure and
regulate the force of expiration
Sound production takes place in larynx, pharynx and oral and nasal cavity.

There are the following systems of the voice production mechanism

1. RespIratory system: the lungs, the muscles(маселс) by the means they are
delayed and compressed, the bronchial (бронкил)tubes and tracheal /trəˈkiː.əl/
(wind pipe)
2. Phonetri : larynx, in the larynx there are the vocal cords and the opening
between the cords is know as the glottis
3. The articulatory system: nose, lips, mouth and it contains ( tongue and etc)
4. The hearing mechanism: ear is the main reception of the sound

The air stream coming from the lungs undergoes important modification, they
depend on the behaviour of the vocal cords and of the other speech organs
If the vocal cords are brought loosely together the air pressure blow them becomes
very high фтв the air comes in the regular puffs making the vocal cords
vibrating .the vocal tone or voice is produced
The movements of the other speech organs modifier the shape, the size and the
volume (объем) of the pharynx, the mouth and nasal cavity those modify the
voice
As the result a vowel sound of the certain quality is produced: close sound, back
sound, front sounds, etc...
If in supra-larynx cavity there an abstraction the air stream- noise is produced. the
character of the noise depends of the type of obstraction. friction or plosive it's
rather a constriction or a complete .clousure.. This is how the the particular quality
of the consonants is determined.
When an abstraction is created and vocal cords vibrate a voiced consonant is
produced
When the vocal cords do not vibrate the voiceless consonants are produced
