Airstream Mechanism
Air-stream refers to the movement of air as it is pushed at
the lungs during speech production.
the lungs, passes through the larynx and the mouth.Hence
there are three main air-stream mechanisms. They are the
pulmonic, the glottalic and the velaric.
2. Pulmonic air-stream: The air-stream starts from the
lungs. If the air is pushed out from the lungs, it is called
egressive and if the air is drawn in, it is called ingressive. All
the sounds in the English language use pulmonic, egressive
air-stream.
3. Glottalic air-stream: The glottis acts as the initiator and
the air moves in and out of the pharynx. [The vocal cords can
also be opened and closed.]
4. Velaric air-stream:in the case of velaric air-stream, the
back of the tongue is the initiator and the air in the mouth is set
in motion
5. The glottalic and the velanic air-streams are not used mostly in English language.
