The biomechanical movements of vocal structures are shown to control flow of expiratory air for the production of speech sounds. Laminar and turbulent air flow are discussed as they relate to sound generation. Theoretic and therapeutic utility of air flow profiles in differentiating linguistic contrasts and vocal characteristics are discussed along with considerations of relative utility and accuracy for various flow-measuring devices and strategies.
