Anatomy of Eloquence
- 1990 ----- color ----- 31 min ----- vhs
- Examinies the physiology of the human vocal tract showing how the larynx, vocal chords, wind pipe, tongue and lips produce speech sounds. Presents the theory of evolution that Homo sapiens edged out other species like Neanderthal man because the position of the larynx afforded superior vocal ability. Looks at the ability to understand speech, explaining why our ears and brain can discern the subtle nuances of these rapid sounds. Shows how patients whose larynxes have been surgically removed can learn to speak again with electronic aids.
- Topics: (Anthropology: Biological, Physiology, Speech and Hearing Sciences)
