MECHANICS

and PROCESS OF
SPEAKING
STAGES OF SPEAKING PROCESS:

Breathing Stage
Phonation Stage
Resonation Stage
Articulation Stage
Breathing Stage is primarily concerned with maintaining life,
secondarity a force assisting in vocalization . It consist of two phases:
inhalation and exhalation.
LUNGS

- Serves as reservoir of air


- -as you inhale ,fill the lungs comfortably in preparation of speaking
Diagphram
- A large sheet of muscles separating the chest cavity from the abdomen
- -gives pressure to the breath stream
- -forms the floor of the chest and the roof of the abdomen
Phonation Stage –takes place when voice is produced in speaking as the
expiratory air stream the lungs goes up through the trachea or windpipe to the
larynx.
Larynx
-principal organ of phonation
-found at the top of trachea
-protuberance is known as the “ Adams Apple”
Vocal Cords
-a fair of bundles of muscles and cartilages
-open and closes at various degrees
Trachea
- Also known as windpipe
- -passageway of air going up from the lungs
Resonation Stage – the voice production in phonation weak. It becomes strong and only
when amplified and modified by human resonates
Pharynx
-common passageway for air and food
-located behind the nose and mouth and includes cavity at the back of the tongue
Division of pharynx
-Nasal pharynx
-oral pharynx
-laryngeal pharynx
Mouth
- Divided into the vestibule and the oral cavity proper
- Vestibule is felt by retracting the tongue tip outside the teeth but inside the lips
Articulation Stage – occurs when the tone produced in the larynx is changed into
specific . The is the result of the movement of the articulation towards the points of
articulation.
Lips
-highly flexible
-can be moved into numerous essential articulation
Teeth
- Serve as one of the important surface in articulation
- -embedded in the alveolar ridge or gum ridges of the oral cavity
Dome
- Also known as the hard palate
- Bony roof of the mouth
- Serves as an important surface against which the tongue makes contact
Uvula
- Small nub on the lower burden of the soft palate
- Movable tip of the midline of the free border of the soft palate

Velum
-also known as soft palate
-separates the nasal pharynx from the oral cavity
-flexible curtain attached along the rear border of the hard palate
Tongue
-flexible organ consisting of muscles, glands and connective tissues
