Some synonyms for articulatory phonetics include speech production, phonetic articulation, vocal physiology, and sound articulation. Other related terms include phonetics, which broadly studies the sounds of language, and phonology, which explores the abstract mental representations of those sounds. Researchers in articulatory phonetics analyze various aspects of speech production, such as how the vocal folds vibrate, where the tongue is placed, and how the lips are shaped.
