VOICED Meaning and
Definition
-
Voiced, as an adjective, refers to the presence or production of sound or the act of producing vocal sounds. It typically describes sounds or phonemes that are produced with vibration of the vocal cords, resulting in a voiced quality.
In linguistics, voiced sounds are those that are created by the vibration of the vocal cords while airflow passes through. These sounds are distinguished from voiceless sounds, which are produced without vocal cord vibration. For example, the "b" sound in the word "bat" is voiced, whereas the "p" sound in the word "pat" is voiceless.
Voiced sounds are characterized by a resonant and vibrating quality, as the vocal cords partially close and open during their production. This vibration adds a melodic or tonal quality to speech and is an essential aspect of human language. Various languages have different sets of voiced sounds that are phonemically distinct and play a significant role in distinguishing meaning.
In music, voiced refers to the act of producing sound using the vocal cords, such as singing. It can also refer to the presence of vocal parts or instruments that produce vocal-like sounds in a composition.
Overall, voiced relates to the production and presence of sound, particularly vocal sounds, either in language or music.
