The diaphragm, cords and articulators must be retrained so that the technique becomes automatic. |
Specific speech sounds are produced by moving the articulators to shape the vocal tract and the airstream in characteristic ways. |
Glides, such as j and w, which are produced by a rapid movement of the articulators, either from, or more commonly towards a vowel articulation, are also dependent. |
Spoken language makes use of sound carried on out-breathed air from the lungs, which is modulated by articulators to produce the vocal repertoire of a natural language. |
