| Citazioni | Between the two extremes of voicelessness [...] lies the position of true voice. In this position the cords are close together, but not so tightly [...] ; the cords are set vibrating and a musical tone of varying pitch results. A tone so produced is known as a 'voiced sound'. Our vowels, nasals (such as 'm' and 'n' ), and such sounds as 'b', 'z', and 'l' are all voiced sounds. The voiced sounds are the most clearly audible. As such they are the carriers of practically all significant differences in stress, pitch, and syllabification. |
