Effect of Speaking Rate on Voice Onset Time in Telugu

produced by effort of vocal folds which is further altered by the articulators (tongue, lips) to generate speech. Acoustics deals with the study of sounds. The analysis of sounds in terms of temporal and spectral aspects is called acoustic analysis. It allows the speech pathologist to infer a great deal about the movement and placement of the articulators during the production of both normal and abnormal speech. Sounds comprise of vowels and consonants.
