►Home activities

Exercise 1. Write 4 main aspects of PHONETICS and match them with the paragraphs below:
1............................................ investigates the functioning of one‘s speech apparatus and mechanism. It is based on profound knowledge of physiology and the structure of one‘s speech apparatus. While investigating the articulatory aspect of speech sounds both subjective and objective methods are employed: the method of direct observation (concerning the lips & the tongue movements) – subjective method and X-ray photography and X-ray cinematography (objective methods).
2................................................... studies the acoustic properties of sounds (quantity, timber/voice quality, intensity, the pitch of the voice and temporal factor) in terms of the frequency of vibration and the amplitude of vibration in relation to time. The analysis begins with a microphone, which converts the air movement into corresponding electrical activity. While investigating the acoustic aspect of speech sounds special laboratory equipment is employed: spectrograph, intonograph, sound analyzing and sound synthesizing machines.
3.................................................... is aimed at investigating the hearing process which is the brain activity. Auditory Phonetics and Acoustic Phonetics are very closely connected.
4.................................................... presupposes investigating the discriminatory (distinctive) function of speech sounds.
