while consonants are made with the tongue.
The sound source for vowels is at the level of the larynx while consonants have more than one sound
source. Vowels are longer in duration than a consonant.
Vowels have more intensity than consonants and vowels have a lower frequency spectrum.
A single phoneme consisting of two vowel elements, the first termed the onglide and the second termed
the offglide - correct answer ✔✔Diphthong
A vowel phoneme consisting of one distinct articulatory element - correct answer ✔✔Monophthong
A graphic representation of the three major parameters that describe the acoustic characteristic of any
sound: time, frequency and intensity - correct answer ✔✔Spectrogram
What are the three acoustic characteristics of sound? - correct answer ✔✔Time, frequency and intensity
How is duration perceived by a listener? - correct answer ✔✔Duration is perceived as stress
How is frequency perceived by a listener? - correct answer ✔✔Frequency is perceived as pitch
How is intensity perceived by a listener? - correct answer ✔✔Intensity is perceived as loudness
A resonant frequency of the vocal tract that is perceived as the Y axis - correct answer ✔✔Formant
The frequency array, or energy pattern, characteristic of any sound - correct answer ✔✔Spectrum
