Question

In producing vowel sounds, there will be:

• A. Partial obstruction in the mouth
• B. Complete obstruction in the mouth
• C. Friction in the mouth
• D. No friction and obstruction in the mouth

Answer 1

Answer:

D. No friction and obstruction in the mouth

• Vowel sounds are produced when the air flows freely through the vocal tract.

• There is no complete or partial obstruction, and no significant friction is created as the air passes.

• The shape and position of the tongue and lips modify the resonance, but they don’t block the air.
