Question

Identify the sound in which the vocal cords act as the active articulator?

• A. /l/
• B. /h/
• C. /k/
• D. /v/

Answer 1

Answer:

B. /h/

• In the production of the sound /h/, the vocal cords (vocal folds) are the active articulator.

• The sound is made at the glottis (the space between the vocal cords).

• The vocal cords create the constriction and control the flow of air through the glottis to produce /h/.
