there are important
differences in its external
structure! its tail consists
ofa pair of broad, flat,
hori7ontal paddles *the tail
of a fish is vertical+ and it
has a single nostril on top
of its large, broad head. The
skin is smooth and shiny

peech production is made
possible by the specialised
movements of our vocal
organs that generate speech
sounds waves.
E7*&anation
-ike all sound production,
speech production reuires
a source of energy. The
source of energy for speech
production is the steady
stream of air that comes
from the lungs as we
exhale. 5hen we breathe
normally, the air stream is
inaudible. To become
audible, the air stream must
vibrate rapidly. The vocal
cords cause the air stream
to vibrate.
E7*&anation
As we talk, the vocal cords
open and close rapidly,
chopping up the steady air
stream into a series of
puffs. These puffs are heard
as a bu77. .ut this bu77 is
still not speech.
E7*&anation
To produce speech sounds,
the vocal tract must change
shape. #uring speech we
continually alter the shape
of the vocal track by
moving the tongue and
lips,etc. These movements
change the acoustic
properties of the vocal tract,
which in turn produce the
different sounds of speech.
