5. happens when sound bounces around and is modified in the spaces inside our head and neck

8. palate, part of the roof of the mouth underlain by bone
12. area which is concerned with the possible sequences of sounds in language
13. a term to refer to a part of the vocal tract that gives power and richness to the voice
14. tubes that connect to the trachea
17. a gap between the vocal folds
19. A visual graph showing pitch over time
20. when there are vibrations in the vocal cords as air passes through them, these sounds are created
23. Latin for "little grape"
25. a flap behind the tongue root
26. tract, refers to all anatomical structures in the human body that facilitate airflow during speech production
27. Movements of this part of the tongue radically change the shape of the vocal tract, a fact that is crucial in the production of distinct vowel sounds

1. root, rear surface of the tongue body
2. other term for trachea
3. its function is to push air upward as we speak
4. the stage where the sound made by your vocal cords gets amplified and shaped by the spaces in your throat, mouth, and nose
6. the three viewpoints form which sounds are studied include transmission, perception and?
9. it is during this stage where specific sounds are produced
10. in acoustic phonetics, it has to do with how high or low a sound is
11. they store the air we breathe in
12. abstract or mental aspect of the sounds in language
15. the most flexible speech organ
16. the tip of the tongue
18. is the phase where raw sound is created that has yet to be shaped and modified
21. phonetics, this field is concerned with how sounds are perceived via the ear
22. for nasal sounds to be produced, this speech organ must be lowered
24. colloquially known as the voice box
