In fact, it is lip movement rather than tongue movement that is responsible for the lowering of F2. It should be noted here that voiced consonants also depend on the pulses from the vocal folds for setting the air in the vocal tract into vibration. For each consonant sound (just as there was for each vowel sound), there are characteristic positions of the articulators and therefore a characteristic set of formant frequencies. Thus there are two systems operating in the speech production process: (1) a generator system responsible for producing the fundamental frequency and harmonics of the voice and (2) a resonator system that determines the formant frequencies of the vocal tract.

However, once the vocal tract 20 Review of Speech and Hearing Sciences FIGURE 1-22 Inanimate tube analogy of adult male vocal tract. ) FIGURE 1-23 Vocal tract output for schwa vowel. ) shape is altered to produce other vowel sounds, the analogies discussed previously must be ­modified ­(Figures 1-24 and 1-25). Thus the concept of cavity (acoustical) resonance is very important in understanding the articulatory aspects of the speech production process. The human vocal tract is analogous to a tube open at one end (the lips) and closed at the other end (vocal folds) and therefore parallels the systematic acoustic behavior associated with inanimate tubes or cavities.

Partial assimilation involves a phonetic change from one allophone of a phoneme to a different allophone of the same phoneme. For example, in the production of “eat the pie,” the normally linguaalveolar /t/ in eat is changed to a linguadental /t/. , the /t/ becomes more like /ð/ in its articulation). , no phonemic change). Complete assimilation involves a phonemic change from an allophone of one phoneme to an allophone of a 44 Review of Speech and Hearing Sciences different phoneme. For example, in “tin cans,” the linguaalveolar /n/ in tin is assimilated to the place of articulation of the following linguavelar /k/ in cans, producing the ­linguavelar nasal /ŋ/.
