Answered by GPT-4o mini
Yes, that's correct! The airstream mechanism involving air being pushed out from the lungs is referred to as "egressive." This type of airstream is commonly used in the production of most speech sounds in languages around the world. In contrast, "ingressive" airstream mechanisms involve drawing air in, typically from the environment, such as in some click sounds found in certain languages. Egressive sounds are produced by the buildup of air pressure in the lungs, which is then released to create sound.
