DEFINITION OF PHONOLOGY
1. Articulatory Phonetics deals with the way in which speech sounds are
produced.
3. Auditory Phonetics deals with how speech sounds are perceived by the
listener.
ARTICULATORY PHONETICS
1. Vocal Tract
Speech sound is created by airflow through the vocal tract. It is a tube
where air passes. If this tube is open, the airflow creates a sound.
The vocal tract is divided into the oral tract within the mouth and the
pharynx, and the nasal tract within the nose.
The part of oral tract that can be used to form sounds are called
articulators.

and lips.
2. Pharynx
it is part of the throat which extends from above the vocal cords up to
the soft palate at the back of the mouth.
It is like large chamber and in the production of speech sounds its
shape and volume can be changed in various ways:

6. Tongue
Tongue can be moved into many different places and different shapes.
There are three different parts of the tongue; tip, blade, front, root or
back. The tip and blade lie under the alveolar ridge; the tip is the most
forward part of all and the blade between the tip and the front. The front
lies under the hard palate. It can be flat on the bottom of the mouth or it
can be raised to touch the hard palate. The back of the tongue lies under
the soft palate when the tongue is at rest.
7. Teeth
Teeth are categorized into upper and lower teeth. The upper teeth are
more important than lower ones as there are many sounds articulated
by the upper teeth
8. Lips
Lips are divided into lower and upper lips.
