Definition
are different letter sequences or patterns that represent the same sound (for, laugh, photo, muffin)
Term
Digraphs
Definition

 when pairs of letters represent one sound (laugh, photo)

 

Term
Silent Letters
Definition
when a letter has no connection to the pronunciation of the word (/b/ in “numb”)
Term
Morpheme
Definition
smallest unit of language that can carry meaning
Term
Free Morpheme
Definition

 a word that can stand alone (cow, book, music)

 

Term
Bound Morphemes
Definition

 a single letter, prefix, suffix (reread, books, pressure, musician)

Term

Term

 

  1. How do we classify consonants on the consonant chart?

 

Definition

 Pulmonic and Non-Pulmonic

 

Term
Minimal Pairs
Definition

 Two words that differ by only one phoneme (speech sound)in the same word position

 

Term
Diacritics
Definition

 To indicate an alternate way of producing a certain sound

 

Term
Allophones
Definition

 

Variations of a sound that do not change its meaning

 

Term
3 Types of Transcription
Definition

Systematic Broad Transcription 

Systematic Narrow Transcription 

Impressionistic Transcription


Term
Systematic Broad Transcription 
Definition
makes no attempt at transcribing allophonic variations, uses slashes /b
Term
Systematic Narrow Transcription
Definition
allophonic transcription; diacritics are used to indicate the allophonic variations when transcribing speech, uses brackets
Term
Impressionistic Transcription
Definition
another form of narrow transcription in which is nothing is known about a particular speech system prior to analysis, uses brackets
Term
Syllable
Definition

 

It’s a basic building block of language that may be composed of either one or more vowels alone or a vowel in combination with one or more consonants

 

Term
Tree diagram of a syllable
Definition

 

Onset – Nucleus (a vowel) – Coda

 

Term
Open Syllables
Definition
syllables that end in a vowel phoneme, have no coda
Term
Closed syllable
Definition
syllables that end with a consonant phoneme
Term
Primary word stress
Definition

 more than one syllable words have a syllable that receives more emphasis

 

Term
Secondary Word stress
Definition
bisyllabic or multisyllabic words that don’t receive primary stress may receive less or no stress
Term
3 Subsystems of Speech Production
Definition

Respiratory, Laryngeal, supralaryngeal

 

Term
Function of respiratory system
Definition

 

Primary – breathing for vegetative, or for life, purposes

 

Secondary – production of speech

 

Term
Special Breathing
Definition
Inspiration: Rapid, greater amount of air; Expiration: Much longer than inspiration; Inspiratory and expiratory muscles are both activated during speech; Inhalation at pauses in speech; Duration of inhalation<<exhalation; Exhalation is active; Creates subglottic air pressure
Term
Resting Breathing
Definition
 Breathing to sustain life; Inspiration: Diaphragm contracts, rib cage and lungs expand, lung volume increases and air pressure drops, causing air to rush in; Expiration: Rib cage wall size decreases, lungs are compressed, pressure within lungs increases, causing air to rush out; Determined by O2 needs; Timing of inhalation = exhalation; Inhalation is active; Exhalation is passive
Term
Inhalation
Definition

Muscles above the diaphragm; Diaphragm contracts; External Intercostal Muscles contract

 

Term
Exhalation
Definition
Muscles below the diaphragm; Diaphragm relaxes; Internal Intercostal Muscles
Term
Diaphragm
Definition

A major muscle that separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity

 

Term
Larynx
Definition
Voice box; cartilaginous and muscular structure that houses the vocal folds; responsible for phonation
Term
Functions of the Laryngeal System
Definition

 Primary – Prevent choking

 

Secondary – Phonation

 

Term
Abducted
Definition
open
Term
Adducted
Definition
Closed
Term
Fundamental Frequency
Definition

Rate of vocal fold vibrations

 

Term

 

  1. 3 Cavities of Supralaryngeal System

 

Definition

 Pharynx, oral, nasal

 

Term
Articulation
Definition

Modification of the airstream by the speech organs in the production of spoken language

 

Articulators: velum, jaw, tongue, lips, pharyngeal walls, and related muscles

 

Term
Lips
Definition

 supported by the maxilla and mandible; Bilabial Sounds /p/, /b/, /w/, /m/

 

Term
Teeth
Definition
Labiodental Sounds (lips and teeth) /f/, /v/; Interdental Sounds (teeth and tongue)
Term
Alveolar Ridge
Definition

 

Alveolar Sounds /d/, /l/, /s/, /t/, /n/, /z/

 

Term
Palate
Definition

 Palatal Sounds /C/, /Y/

 

Term
Vellum
Definition
soft palate; Velar Sounds /k/, /g/; Oral Phonemes; Nasal Phonemes /m/, /n/, /A/
Term
Glottis
Definition
Glottal Sounds /h/
Term
Tongue
Definition
Lingual Sounds; Root, Tip, Blade, Body, Front, Back, and Dorsum; Primary articulator for vowels and used in conjunction with other articulators to produce consonants
Term
Oral Phonemes
Definition
velum is raised, sound coming through mouth, velopharyngeal port is closed
Term
Nasal Phonemes
Definition
velum is lowered, sound goes through the nose, velopharyngeal port is open
Term
