  2. Organs of speech

  3. The nature of speech Spoken language consists of successions of sounds emitted by organs of speech together with certain attributes. These successions of sounds are composed of: • Speech-sounds • Glides

  4. Types of pronunciation No two persons of the same nationality pronounce their own language exactly alike. Reasons: • Locality • Social surroundings • Early influences

  5. Breath and voice

  6. Vowels and consonants

  7. a.a. Plosive When active articulator comes in firm contact with a passive one, forming a structure of complete closure, the air streams built up behind this closure. The articulators separate suddenly producing an explosive sound called plosion.

  8. a.a. affricative When active articulator comes in firm contact with a passive one, forming a structure of complete closure, but instead of opening suddenly producing an explosive sound, they come apart slowly into the fricative position.

  9. a.a. fricative When active articulator comes into light contact with a passive one, forming a structure of closure approximation the air has to force its way out, making a noise called friction.

  10. a.a. lateral When active articulator comes in firm contact with a passive one, and the air escapes down one or both sides of the contact.

  11. Semi-vowel nasal The velum must must be lowered, and there must be a structure of compete closure somewhere in the mouth, so that the air escapes through the nose. These sounds are produced with an approximation of the articulators which is too open to cause friction

  12. ə ɜ: u ɔ: u: ɒ a: ʌ æ e ɪ Vowel chart

  13. Diphthongs • They are defined as independent vowel-glides. • They may be: • Long or short • Wide or narrow • Rising or falling

  14. Diphthongs Types: • Closing diphthongs • Centring diphthong

  15. ə u e ɪ centring diphthongs

  16. ə u ɒ ʌ e ɪ Closing diphthongs

  17. triphthongs Is a glide from one vowel to another and then to a third, all produced rapidly and without interruption.
