1. acoustic
a diagram in which the frequencies of the first two formants, f1
vowel space
and f2 define a space in which any vowel can be represented as a
single point. this acoustic space corresponds to an articulatory
vowel space defined by the dimensions of the tongue height and
tongue advancement
2. resonator a physical object (including air-filled tubes such as the vocal tract)
that has
certain natural frequencies of vibration known as the resonance
frequencies, or called formants in the case of the vocal tract.
3. formant a resonance of the vocal tract determined by the length and shape
of the tract
4. what two f1 and f2
formants are
most impor- tant
for determining
vowel quality
5. Match the waveform X-axis,amplitude
axes to what they y-axis, time
measure.
6. your voice false
gener- ates
pure tones
7. resonance peaks formants
8. resonance modulation of the soundwaves as they travel through the vocal tract.
9. spectogram acoustic display of the formants
