Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Homework 1: orchestration
This section introduces orchestration as a tool for visualizing the movement of articulators during speech production. It explains the different tiers of an orchestration, which represent the position and state of the lips, tongue, velum, and vocal folds. The example focuses on the phrase "You're so sweet to have done this," showing how the articulators move to produce each sound.
Homework 2: spectrogram analysis – English words
This section explores the analysis of spectrograms to examine the acoustic properties of English words. The example focuses on the words "cat" and "fight," and includes spectrograms of each word. The spectrograms are then segmented to identify individual speech sounds.
