Define "trachea" or "windipipe".
It's a tube that connects the lungs to the larynx and pharynx allowing the passage of air.
Define "articulators".
Set of muscles and organs inside the vocal tract that shape the air flow to produce speech sounds.
Define "phonology".
It focuses on a more abstract level (sounds in context) and deals with the system, rules and patterns of the sounds from a particular language.
What are the three branches of phonetics? What do they focus on?
Articulatory: how sounds are produced. Acoustic: how sounds are transmitted from the mouth to the ear. Auditory: speech perception or the hearing process.
Define "phonetics"
Study of sounds and how these are produced, transmitted and perceived. It deals with the concrete, measurable and physical properties of speech sounds.
Define "linguistics"
the science that deals with the general study of the language, like its grammar, morphology or phonology.
