Term
Coarticulation
Definition
implications for clinical treatment. Certain phonemes are more easily elicited from certain contexts.
Term
Assimilation
Definition
refer to adaptive articulatory changes by which one speech sound becomes similar, sometimes identical, to a neighboring sound segment.
Term
Contiguous (also known as contact)
Definition
modifying adjacent sounds.
Term
Noncontiguous (also known as remote)
Definition
occurs when sounds are separated by at least one other sound segment.
Term
Progressive assimilations (also called perseverative)
Definition
earlier occurring sound segment that influences a following sound.

Ex: /r/ is pronounced with rounded lips in the word "shriek" due to semi-rounded lips for /sh/ sound
Term
Regressive assimilations (also called anticipatory)
Definition
a later occurring sound segment that influences a preceding sound

Ex: pumpkin --> punkin
Term
Morphology
Definition
study of the structure of words.
Term
Syntax (organization)
Definition
consists of organizational rules denoting word, phrase, and clause order. It also examines the organization and relationship between words, word classes, and other sentence elements.
Term
Semantics (meaning)
Definition
is the study of linguistic meaning and includes the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences.
Term
Pragmatics (social use/context)
Definition
is the study of language used to communicate within various situational contexts. It examines language use in context.
Term
Manner
Definition
refers to the type of constriction the organ and place of articulation produce for the realization of a particular consonant (ex: stops, plosives, affricates, etc).
Term
Place
Definition
denotes the area within the vocal tract that moves during consonant production
Term
Voicing
Definition
refers to the presence or absence of vocal fold vibration during the consonant production
Term
Vocables
Definition
infant proto-words; syllables that do not have meaning
Term
Sibilants
Definition
high frequency sounds that have a more strident quality and longer duration than most other consonants
Term
Obstruents
Definition
characterized by a complete or narrow constriction between the articulators hindering the expiratory air stream.
Term
Sonorants
Definition
another name for vowels and diphthongs due to their great sonority in relationship to consonants. Produced with relatively open expiratory passageway.
Term
Allophone
Definition
variations in the production of phonemes that do not change meaning of words. They are influenced by the surrounding sounds and the position of the phoneme in the word.
Term
Coronal
Definition
sounds made with the tongue blade raised above the neutral position required for the production of the schwa.
Term
Suprasegmental
Definition
stress, intonation, loudness, pitch level, juncture, rate and vowel reduction.
Term
Coalescence
Definition
when features from two adjacent sounds are combined so that one sound replaces two other sounds (type of total assimilation).
Term
Continuant sounds (fricatives, liquids, glides)
Definition
sounds made with an incomplete point of constriction. The flow of air is not entirely stopped at any point
Term
Strident sounds (fricatives and affricates)
Definition
airstream is forced through a small opening resulting in intense noise and rapid airflow pressing against the teeth
Term
Homorganic
Definition
the syllabic must be made with the same articulators as the sound before
Term
Spasmodic dysphonia
Definition
characterized by spasms that cause the vocal folds to slam together and stiffen. The spasms make it difficult for the vocal folds to vibrate and produce sounds
Term
Monophthongs
Definition
a vowel in which there is no appreciable change in quality during a syllable as in "father."
Term
Diphthongs
Definition
a vowel in which there is a change in quality during a single syllable, as in "high."
Term
Speech Sound Disorder
Definition
impairment of an individual's sound system resulting in significant problem with speech sound production that differs from age and culturally based expectations.
Term
Articulation impairment
Definition
inability to articulate certain speech sounds correctly. Refers to phonetic impairment.
Term
Phonological impairment
Definition
involves the rules that govern sound patterns in a given language. Refers to phonemic impairment.
Term
Shriberg and Kent (person)
Definition
children have a tendency to devoice final obstruent's
Term
Jacobson (person)
Definition
"discontinuity hypothesis" emphasizes a separation between the prelinguistic and the linguistic phases of sound production
Term
Oller (person)
Definition
introduced the term infraphonological to describe an infant's initial vocalizations; he called such vocalizations protophones. (5 infraphonological/prelinguistic stages)
Term
Mcleod (person)
Definition
divides the normal process for foundation of speech into 4 phases (anatomical and functional parts of speech)
Term
5 stages of Prelinguistic Development (Oller)
Definition
Phonation Stage (birth to 1 month),
Coo and Goo Stage (2-3 months),
Exploration-Expansion Stage (4-6 months),
Canonical Babbling Stage (7-9 months),
Variegated Babbling Stage (10-12 months)
Term
Passive Articulators
Definition
denotes the area within the vocal tract that remains motionless (ex: alveolar ridge would be motionless, but still needed for articulation).
Term
Total assimilation
Definition
when a sound is forced by another sound to change all of its phonetic properties (organ, place, and manner) into the sound category of the influencing sound.
Term
Partial assimilation
Definition
when only parts of the phonetic characteristics become modified
Term
Variegated Babbling
Definition
They are nonsense strings of syllables. They will eventually turn into words like "doggy" or "kitty." For example, "papadaba" or "mamalata."
Term
Dentalization
Definition
variation in which tongue approaches the upper incisors
Term
Lateralization
Definition
refers to the articulatory variation in which the airstream is released laterally (/s/ and /z/ typically become lateralized)
Term
Palatalization
Definition
sounds for which the palate is not the place of articulation can be palatalized. The /k/ /g/ and /t/ can be palatalized
Term
Velarization
Definition
refers to the posterior movement of the tongue placement for palatal sounds ("dark /l/ sound")
Term
Aspiration
Definition
sudden release of effort in fortis (a lot of effort) leads to typical aspiration
Term
Unaspirated stop plosives
Definition
most common when they occur immediately following the fricative /s/
Term
Whistled articulation
Definition
occurs when the apex of the tongue directly contacts the back of the upper central incisors ("dental lisp")
Term
Unreleased stop-plosives (imploded)
Definition
articulatory closure is maintained and not released (no audible release)
Term
Glottal stop
Definition
substitutes for the stop consonant and serves to turn off the bowel before the syllabic sound is made
Term
Labialization
Definition
when a normally unrounded consonant is produced with lip rounding (/sh/ is the only sound that is rounded)
Term
Derhotacization
Definition
symbols lose the rhotic symbol and become the schwa
Term
Denasality
Definition
reduction of nasal quality (hyponasality). Occurs only on nasal sounds
Term
Stop Plosives
Definition
Complete closure results in build-up of air pressure followed by a release phase in which separation of the articulators allows for a burst of air.
Term
Fricatives
Definition
Audible friction (noise results) during sound.
Term
Affricates
Definition
a group of consonants that contain two phases. 1) a stop portion with a build up of air pressure which is slowly released follow by 2) a frication portion of the speech sounds.
Term
Glides ("approximants")
Definition
produced with a wider passage of air resulting in a smooth airflow. Gliding movement of the articulators to a more open position.
Term
Chomsky (person)
Definition
generative phonology, combination of underlying phonological representations and surface articulation form the structure of sounds
Term
Stampe (person)
Definition
natural phonology, phonological patterns that are universal or typically occuring
Term
Pavlov(person)
Definition
stimulus responses
Term
Skinner (person)
Definition
created concept of operant conditions: controlling responses by changing the consequences that occur immediately following the act
Term
Behaviorist Model
Definition
Watson, Skinner, and Pavlov; describes consequences as positive or negative, reinforcement or penalty
Term
McLeod's Foundation for Speech (4 Phases):
Definition
Phase 1: development of anatomical structure and function
Phase 2: Transition from words to speech
Phase 3: Increasing inventory
Phase 4: Mastery of speech and literacy
Term
How does anatomy make a difference in the development of speech in a child?
Definition
enlargement of the skull and laryngeal areas occurs which then allows for more room in the velum, tongue no longer fills the mouth, and tongue and lips acquire more mobility.
Term
Canonical babbling
Definition
is known as a collective term for the reduplicated and non reduplicated babbling. Use of open syllables.
Term
Reduplicated babbling
Definition
vocalizations become longer and consist of CV syllables whose timing approximates adult speech.
Term
Phonation Stage (birth to 1 month)
Definition
reflexive vocalizations such as crying, fussing, coughing, sneezing, burping. Vocalizations resembling vowels also known as protophones and quasi-vowels
Term
Coo and Goo Stage (2-3 months)
Definition
productions similar to back vowels or to syllables consisting of back consonants and vowels
Term
Exploration-Expansion Stage (4-6 months)
Definition
stage of vocal play and exploration, new sounds and variability in their pitch, loudness, duration, and vocal quality. Squeals, growls, yells, and vowel-like sounds resulting in good resonation ("raspberries")
Term
Canonical Babbling Stage (7-9 months)
Definition
well timed vocal tract opening and closing, normal phonation, and repetitive patterns. Reduplicated babbling-vocalizations become longer and use of open syllables.
Term
Variegated Babbling Stage (10-12 months)
Definition
syllable sequences occur, vocalizations in which the consonant and vocalic elements keep changing. The infant may combine CV sequences such as /madaga/ or /putika/
Term

Definition
shorter in duration and require less muscular effort
Term
Nonphonemic diphthong
Definition
meaning wouldn't change if in a particular word the vowel was to be pronounced as a monophthong or a diphthong
Term
Phonemic diphthong
Definition
the meaning would change if in a particular word the vowel was produced as a monophthong or as a diphthong
