THE Spee CH Chai N: Fonética y Fonología Inglesa I - Prof. Carmen Irrazábal

This document discusses the speech communication process, which involves a complex series of events across different levels. It describes 5 events: 1) the psychological activity in the speaker's brain to arrange thoughts linguistically, 2) the physiological activity of speech muscles activated by motor nerves, 3) the physical production of sound waves, 4) the physiological response of the listener's ear drum and transmission of the message to the brain via nerve impulses, and 5) the psychological activity in the listener's brain to decode and understand the message linguistically. The document focuses on the theories of articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics, and auditory phonetics.

(activity in speaker’s brain)

linguistic
STAGE
(arrangement of thoughts into linguistic form –
choice of correct words/sentences)

EVENT 2
physiological
ACTIVITY (motor nerves linking the speaker’s brain with his speech
mechanism activate the corresponding muscles)

articulatory
STAGE (movement of the articulators: tongue/lips/vocal folds)

ARTICULATORY PHONETICS

ACTIVITY (movement of the articulators = disturbances in the air
pressure = sound waves (physical manifestations)

acoustic
STAGE (the sound waves travel towards the listener’s ears)
