Noise shape type control

By careful control of airflow obstructions, tongue movements and mouth shape we can produce a great variety of consonant and vocal noises with the Praat physical model. Information about vocal tract shapes, tongue movements and types of obstructions that people use to make vowels and consonants can be found in most books on phonetics. A good introduction to the subject can be found in Peter Ladefoged s book entitled Vowels and Consonants (2001).
