1 Review for Test 3
2 Speech Production What is the source and filter model?
3 Speech Production What is the source and filter model? Source: friction, voicing, aspiration cause movement of air Filter: moving air is passed through vocal tract which modifies the air giving different speech sounds
4 Speech Production What is the source and filter model? How does it relate to formants?
5 Speech Production What is the source and filter model? How does it relate to formants? When voiced sounds are filtered by the vocal tract certain frequencies are amplified. Those are the formants
6 Speech Production What is a fourier analysis?
7 Speech Production What is a fourier analysis? A mathematical formula for determining what waves make up a complex wave, the frequencies and amplitudes of those waves.
8 What is a formant? Speech Production
9 Speech Production What is a formant? A group of harmonics that is amplified by the configuration of the vocal tract
10 What is a harmonic? Speech Production
11 Speech Production What is a harmonic? A multiple of the fundamental frequency
12 What is F0? Speech Production
13 Speech Production What is F0? The fundamental frequency, the lowest frequency in a complex wave, what we perceive as the pitch of the sound
14 Speech Production What are resonance frequencies?
15 Speech Production What are resonance frequencies? The frequency at which an object vibrates when acted upon. The frequencies that an object will amplify.
16 Speech Production How do you change the resonance frequencies of a speech sound?
17 Speech Production How do you change the resonance frequencies of a speech sound? Change the vocal tract
18 Speech Production How do you change the F0 of a speech sound?
19 Speech Production How do you change the F0 of a speech sound? Change the rate of vibration of the vocal folds.

37 Spectrograms How do the following show up on a spectrogram? Duration Horizontal distance shows duration
38 Spectrograms How do the following show up on a spectrogram? diphthongs versus monophthongs
