Chapter 10 Summary
Oren Brown:
Summary: There was A
LOT to this chapter. This was the chapter on articulation. So this included
everything that we all need to know about vowels and consonants. Each and every
vowel Has a unique set of overtones associated with the vowel. The vowels are
all determined by these formants and are shaped by the position of the lips and
tongue. As we move through the vowels the lips and tongue have to react and
move in certain ways. These are the ONLY things that have to change. Another
important part of the chapter dealt with consonants, and dipthongs. All in all
this chapter outlined all of the important parts of articulation, and then Oren
Brown outlined different ways to practice all of these things. This reminded me
of Stephen Smith and refining the vowel. These are all things need to be worked
on and refined.
Key Concept: Vowels
are complicated things… I never have really understood that until this
semester.
Vocabulary:
Formants, Dipthongs,
Consonants, Vowels
Making Connections:
What I love about
this whole book, is that he gives exercises to help with what he is talking
about. I feel like there is a lot of things I can work on!
