<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Spectrally, '''damping''' means broadening the peak around the [[sine wave]]'s [[frequency]]. As damped sine waves do not have an exactly sinusoidal form, damped sine waves have more complex spectra than undamped sine waves. <br /> <br /> The walls of the vocal tract are soft and they absorb sound energy produced by the [[glottis]]. The vocal tract resonances (or [[formant]]s) therefore have certain [[bandwidth]]s because the frequencies are damped. The formant bandwidths of [[nasal]] sounds are wider than those of nonnasal sounds, because the vocal tract then has a greater surface area and volume, and thus more energy is absorbed.<br /> <br /> === Link ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Damping&amp;lemmacode=1554 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:Phonetics]]</div>
