Speech Production
Speech production is the process by which thoughts are translated into speech. This includes the selection of words, the building of correct grammatical sentences, and then the detailed motor programming of speech sounds by the muscles of the vocal apparatus and respiratory system.
Pronunciation
Speech production: /spiːtʃ prəˌdʌkʃən/
Etymology
The term "speech" comes from the Middle English word "speche", from Old English "sprǣc", "spǣc" (speech, talk, utterance; discourse, treaty, condition, stipulation), from Proto-Germanic "*sprēkiją" (speech, report, tale). The term "production" comes from the Latin "productio", from "producere" (to lead or bring forth).
