IN VOICED Meaning and
Definition
-
"In voiced" is a term used in linguistics to describe a specific phonetic property of speech sounds. It refers to sounds that are produced with simultaneous vocal cord vibration or activation. These sounds are generated when air passes through the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate and produce a voiced sound.
In voiced sounds, the vocal cords are tightened, and as air is expelled from the lungs, they vibrate, creating a buzzing or vibrating sensation in the throat. This vocal cord vibration adds a characteristic pitch or tone quality to the sound produced. Examples of voiced consonant sounds in English include /b/, /d/, /g/, /v/, /z/, and /m/.
The concept of "in voiced" is in contrast to "voiceless" sounds, which are produced without vocal cord vibration. In voiceless sounds, the vocal cords remain relaxed and open, allowing air to pass through freely without generating vibration or voice.
The distinction between voiced and voiceless sounds is important in phonetics and phonology as it helps to differentiate between different sounds in a language. Additionally, the presence or absence of vocal cord vibration can have grammatical and contextual significance in certain languages, affecting the meaning or perception of words.
