Articulatory phonology
Okay kiddo, do you know that when we talk, we move our mouth and tongue in different ways to make different sounds? Articulatory phonology is like a game of figuring out which mouth movements and tongue positions make which sounds.
Imagine you have some play-doh and you want to make different shapes with it, like a ball or a snake. Similarly, when we speak, we make different shapes with our mouth and tongue to produce sounds like 'm', 'p', 's', etc.
Now, there are different parts in our mouth that help us produce these sounds. We have our lips, our teeth, our tongue, the roof of our mouth and our vocal cords. By moving these parts around, we can create and combine different sounds to make words.
Articulatory phonology is like investigating which parts of the mouth we use to make certain sounds. We try to figure out which parts are moving, in what way, and how they are coming together to create sounds. It's like trying to solve a puzzle, but instead of using your hands, you use your mouth!
So articulatory phonology is a fancy way of studying how our mouth and tongue move to produce speech sounds. Scientists who study this want to learn more about how the sounds we make are related to our mouth movements. It's pretty cool, isn't it?
