Definition
demonstrating more acoustic energy, having at least 2 formant areas
Term
sonorants
Definition
a group of vowels and specific consonants that demonstrate more sonority; more relative loudness in relationship to other sounds with the same length, stress, and pitch
Term
obstruents
Definition
sounds with are characterized by a complete or narrow constriction

vowel parameters

Definition
the quality of sound remains the same throughout its production; also called "pure vowels"

Definition
u,-u-,o,c,a
Term
central vowels
Definition
schwas and schwars
Term
diphthong
Definition
vowels in which there is a change in vowel quality during the production of the sound. being son the on glide and finishes on the off glide. can be phonemic or non-phonemic
Term
syllabic
Definition
a consonant that functions as a syllable nucleus
Term
cognates
Definition
consonants that differ only in the voicing feature
Term
manner
Definition
how the air-stram is modified
Term
place
Definition
where the constriction is in the vocal tract
Term
voicing
Definition
presence or absense of vocal fold vibrations
Term
coarticulation
Definition
articulators are constantly moving into position for other segments over a stretch of speech; the effect one speech sound has on another when produced in close sequence, such that the sounds become more like each other
Term
assimilation
Definition
the result of coarticulation, adaptive articulatory changes in speech- speech sounds become similar or identical to a neighboring sounds; also called harmont processes
Term
progressive assimilation
Definition
a type of assimilation in which a sound influences the following sound
Term
regressive assimilation
Definition
type of assimilation in which a sound influences the preceding sound
Term
conatct assimilation
Definition
assimilation process modifying immediately adjacent sounds
Term
remote assimilation
Definition
assimilation process modifying a speech sound separated by at least 1 oter segment, especially when the influencing and the influenced sounds belong to two different syllables
Term
phonemic assimilation
Definition
if an altered segment is perceived to be a different phoneme altogether
Term
similitude
Definition
the change in the segment is such that it is still perceived by speakers as nothing more than a variation of the original segment (allophonioc variation)
Term
total assimilation

Term
vowels vs. consonants
Definition

vowels

-no significant constriciotn of vocal tract

-more intense, more acoustic energy, highly resonant

-greater sonority

-function as syllable nucleus

-always voiced

consonants

-significant constriction of the vocal tract

-less intense acoustic energy

-less sonority

-very few can function as syllable nucleus

-can be voiced or not voiced

Definition

1-place

2-manner- the type of constriction

3-voicing- the presence or absense of vocal fold vibration

consonants
Definition
a speech sound with significant constriction within the vocal tract, mainly in the oral and pharyngeal cavities. foremost along the sagittal midline of the oral cavity
Term
articulatory versus phonological disorders
Definition

articulatory disorders

-problems in speech sounds production

-difficulty ith the motor aspect of speech

-do not impact other areas of language development

phonological disorder

-impaired comprehension and/or use of the sound system of a language

impaired comprehension and/or use of the rules that govern the sound combinations

-might indicate delay in other areas of language

Term

child's articulatory abilities, or ease of syllable production, can be affected by

( 3 points)

Definition

-number of syllables in the utterance

-type of syllable (open/closed)

-stress pattern (stressed/unstressed)

Term
helps child with ease of production
Definition
fewer syllables, open syllables, and stressed syllables facilitate carrect production of specific target sounds; also number of consonants that are grouped together affects the ease of production
Term
open/unchecked syllables
Definition
do not have codas
Term
closed/checked syllables
Definition
do have codas
Term
speech sound versus phoneme
Definition

speech sounds

-actual realization of phoneme, also called allophonic realizations

-concrete, produced, transmitted, perceived

-can be examined without reference to a language

-notation is within brackets [s]

- smallest unit in a language that when combined with other units can establish word meanings

-a linguistic unit

-must be used in reference to a particular language
