buccal speech

a type of phonation that does not depend on laryngeal voice generation but rather is produced by shaping an air pocket in the buccal (i.e., oral) cavity. While the cheeks and upper jaw form a neoglottis (substitute vibrating agent), the tongue remains free to serve as an articulator to shape the sound. Compare esophageal speech.
