Phonetics
For my third phonetics exam!
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Any sound that can be produced by the human vocal tract? | Phonemes |
| A variant form of a phoneme? | Allophones |
| What are minimal pairs? | a pair of words that differ only in one sound |
| tongue, lips, teeth, jaw, soft palate, alveolar ridge, etc? | The articulators |
| the tongue, lower lips? | Active articulator |
| What are passive articulators? | Upper lip, upper teeth, alveolar ridge |
| What are vowels? | Produced by vocal tract that is more or less unobstructed. high, midlow, front |
| What are voiced sounds? | Produced with vibration of the vocal cords (folds). Don't do anything different. |
| What are voiceless sounds? | Produced without vibration of the vocal cords (folds). Ex: (s, z) |
| What are cognates? | A consonant sound that differs from another by voicing. Ex: (p,b) ALL PAIRS THAT ARE CIRCLED |
| What are palatal sounds? | The hard palate (roof and mouth) and tongue. Examples? ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, r |
| What are velar sounds? | Soft palate (velum) and tongue. Examples: k, g, ŋ |
| What are glottal sounds? | The space between the band of the muscles. Ex: h |
| What are labial sounds? | Sounds that are produced by one or both lips. |
| What are bilabial sounds? | The lower and upper lips. Ex: (p, b), m, w |
| What are labiodental sounds? | The lower lips and upper teeth. Ex: (f,v) |
| What are interdental sounds? | Ex: (θ, ð) |
| What are alveolar sounds? | Alveolar ridge ( behind the upper teeth and tongue tip). Ex: (t, d), n, (s, z), l |
| What are obstruents? | Stops, fricatives, and affricates |
| What are sonorants? | Vowels, glides, liquids, nasals |
| What are stop (polsives)? | Produced with complete stoppage of airflow through the vocal tract. Ex: p, b, t, d, k, g |
| What are fricatives? | Partial blockage of the air stream causing turbulence or friction. Ex: f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, h |
| What are affricates? | Begins with a stop, releases as a fricative. Ex: tʃ, d ʒ |
| What are stridents? | Produced by directing the airflow against a surface, considerable friction. |
| What are non-stridents? | Ex: θ, ð, h |
| What is rhotic? | Ex: r |
| What is tap/flap? | Short contact of articulation. Ex: water, letter, etc |
| What are nasals? | Resonance, the pathway to the nasal whatever. Ex: m, n, ŋ |
| What are approximants? | They are glides and liquids (w, j) (r, l) |
| What are glides? | Produced with a rapid transition usually following a vowel. Ex: w, j |
| /p/ | voiceless, bilabial |
| /b/ | voiced, bilabial |
| /t/ | voiceless, alveolar |
| Glottal stop? | When the vocal folds stop the airflow. ? symbol. Is phonemic. |
| What is homorganic? | The sounds that are made with the same articulators although differing in one. Ex: p, b, m |
| /v/ | voiced, labiodental |
| /θ/ | voiceless, interdental |
| /ð/ | voiced, interdental |
| Fricatives ARE... | largest set of consonants in American English. |
| /f/ | voiced, labiodental |
| /ʒ/ | voiced, palatal |
| /h/ | voiceless, glottal |
| /s/ | voiceless, alveolar |
| /z/ | voiced, alveolar |
| /ʃ/ | voiced, palatal |
| /n/ | voiced alveolar |
| /ŋ/ | velar |
| /m/ | voiceless, bilabial |
| /j/ | voiced, palatal |
| /w/ | voiced, bilabial |
| What are semi-vowels? | glides (w, j) J is similar to high front vowel (i). w is similar to high back vowel (u). They are considered ONGLIDES |
| What are liquids? | l, r |
| Gliding examples? | yeyyo, wabbit. |
