UNDERSTANDING SPEECH MECHANISM
In view of the critical importance of voice in speech delivery, it is useful to have a good idea of the physiological aspects of speech. It has also been given a great deal of importance in the study of almost all human languages.
Phonetics
It is a branch of language that deals with the study of speech, sound, their reproduction, and combination. It deals with how production, transmission, and reception of sounds in a particular human language take place. A spoken language consists of a succession of varying sounds for which several parts of a body are used.
Spoken medium is also known as „oral communication. (Written communication is also known as visual communication). Learning a human language involves the process of learning the reproduction of sounds and patterns used by other human beings as each language has its own system. Usually, there is a relationship between the sounds and letters representing these sounds. Unfortunately, in the English language, this relationship is not as consistent as it is in most Indian languages.
