When the larynx moved lower, the pharynx became longer and acted as a resonator, resulting in increased range and clarity of sounds produced via the larynx.Ħ If these deaf children do not develop speech first, then their language ability would not seem to depend on those physical adaptations of the teeth, larynx, etc., that are involved in speaking. They are usually produced with sudden intakes of breath, which is the opposite of ordinary talk, produced on exhaled breath.Ĥ Human teeth are upright, not slanting outwards like those of apes, and they are roughly even in height.ĥ The pharynx is above the larynx (or the voice box or the vocal cords). 2 Primitive words could have been imitations of the natural sounds that early humans heard around them and all modern languages have words that are onomatopoeic (like bow-wow).ģ Interjections contain sounds that are not otherwise used in ordinary speech production.
