Voiced Sounds

StarStarStarStar

Speech sounds produced with vibration of the vocal cords.

StarStarStarStar

Pitch

StarStarStarStar

The perceptual attribute of sound that allows ordering on a frequency-related scale.

StarStarStarStar

Spectrogram

StarStarStarStar

A visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies in a sound as they vary with time.

StarStarStarStar

Intonation

StarStarStarStar

Variation of pitch in speech over time, often used to express the emotional tone or to convey syntax.

StarStarStarStar

Sibilants

StarStarStarStar

A subgroup of consonants characterized by a hissing sound, with high-frequency energy.

StarStarStarStar

Manner of Articulation

StarStarStarStar

Describes how speech organs involved in articulation interact, including how airflow is restricted.

StarStarStarStar

Loudness

StarStarStarStar

The perceptual characteristic of sound that correlates with physical amplitude or intensity.

StarStarStarStar

Speech Segmentation

StarStarStarStar

The process of identifying boundaries between words, syllables, or phonemes in spoken language.

StarStarStarStar

Place of Articulation

StarStarStarStar

Refers to the point in the vocal tract where constriction occurs to produce different consonants.

StarStarStarStar

Stress

StarStarStarStar

The emphasis or prominence given to a syllable or word in speech, which can affect meaning.

StarStarStarStar

Voiceless Sounds

StarStarStarStar

Speech sounds produced without vibration of the vocal cords, relying on turbulence.

StarStarStarStar

Voice Quality

StarStarStarStar

The character or property of a voice, such as breathiness, harshness, nasality, which can convey information about the speaker.

StarStarStarStar

Vowels

StarStarStarStar

Characterized by formant frequencies, which are resonance frequencies of the vocal tract.

StarStarStarStar

Dipthongs

StarStarStarStar

Complex vowel sounds that consist of a transition from one vowel to another within the same syllable.

StarStarStarStar

Coarticulation

StarStarStarStar

The phenomenon where the articulation of a speech sound is influenced by preceding and following sounds.

StarStarStarStar

Jitter and Shimmer

StarStarStarStar

Variability in pitch (jitter) and loudness (shimmer) that can signal pathology or emotion in a speaker's voice.

StarStarStarStar

Harmonics

StarStarStarStar

Integral multiples of the fundamental frequency, determining timbre and quality of voice.

StarStarStarStar

Fundamental Frequency (F0)

StarStarStarStar

The lowest frequency of a periodic waveform in speech, related to the pitch perceived.

StarStarStarStar

Prosody

StarStarStarStar

The rhythm, stress, and intonation patterns of speech that convey information beyond the literal meaning of words.

StarStarStarStar

Voice Onset Time (VOT)

StarStarStarStar

The time between the release of a consonant and the start of vocal cord vibration for the following vowel.

StarStarStarStar

Formants

StarStarStarStar

Resonances of the vocal tract, crucial for distinguishing vowel sounds.

StarStarStarStar

Silent Intervals

StarStarStarStar

Periods of silence within or between spoken utterances that provide cues for speech segmentation.

StarStarStarStar

Consonants

StarStarStarStar

Characterized by rapid changes in amplitude and frequency, noise components, and voice onset time.

StarStarStarStar

Nasals

StarStarStarStar

Consonant sounds produced with the velum lowered, allowing airflow through the nose.

StarStarStarStar

Timbre

StarStarStarStar

The quality of sound that distinguishes different types of sound production, such as voices or musical instruments.
