Expert Solution

t is coronal stop consonant - it requires the tongue tip to be raised by the superior longitudinal muscles to the alveolar ridge.......

k is velar stops consonant for this, the tongue body is raised by the styloglossus to the velum (soft palate).....

p is labial stop consonant, for this, orbiculairs oris muscle is used and It closes the Lip by raising lower lips.....

t, k , and p Are Stop consonant

It involve a complete closure of the vocal tract...

All stops involve jaw raising (medial pterygoid) to aid in closure....

s is loudest sibilant fricative and th is interdental fricative.... Fricative is Sound is made by made by making a narrow oral closure so that the airstream past the closure becomes turbulent, and generates noise....the jaw is raised to help in narrowing the vocal tract (by the medial pterygoid muscle....

For the interdental fricative,genioglossus pulling to gue forward and superior longitudnal muscle raosing tongue is involved .......

For nasal consonants like m are produced with the levator palatini relaxed so that voicing resonates in the nasal cavity as well as the oral cavity...... The turbinates, sinuses, of the nasal cavity absorbs a lot of sound, so only the loudest harmonics (and the lowest formants) come through

Finally the closed oral cavity traps sounds at the resonant frequency of the oral tract ie lowest frequency for m.....

Describe specific exercises that will increase strength in your trapezius muscles, hamstring muscles and arm biceps. Describe 1 specific exercise for each muscle and one exercise that would incorporate all 3 muscles. Pick one of the exercises and name the agonist and antagonist muscles. Name the origin, insertion, action and innervation for all 3 muscles muscle. (use the O,I,A-IN chart found in course documents – left hand column of Blackboard) What are the similarities and differences of these exercises between...

Answer the following: Define “The Scientific Method”. Describe the specific steps involved in the Scientific Method procedure, and characterize how economists apply these steps in their work. Why do economists and other scientists always make the assumption “ceteris paribus = other things being constant” as they construct (build) their hypotheses (models)? What is a model, why model, and how can you separate a good model from a bad model? Distinguish a positive statement from a normative statement, and give one...
