The Ling Space | How Do We Change Our Mouths to Shape Waves? Formants @thelingspace | Uploaded 9 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
How do we create different kinds of sound waves when we only have one mouth? What properties do those speech waves have? In this week's episode, we talk about resonance and formants: how different parts of a speech wave can get amplified, how that relates to how we talk, and how the sounds of vowels are influenced by our tongue and lip setups.
This is Topic #46!
This week's tag language: Samoan!
Other of our phonetics videos:
