Question
Answer
Speech   The spoken expression of language  
🗑
Language   Words and grammar used to express our thoughts  
🗑
Cognition   Mental processes that help us learn to use speech and language  
🗑
Subsystems used to produce speech sounds   Respiration, phonation, articulation  
🗑
Speech sounds are categorized according to   place, manner and voicing  
🗑
IPA International Phonetic Alphabet   a system used for transcribing speech according to the sounds used in speaking words rather than according to the way they are spelled  
🗑
Morpheme   The minimal unit of meaning that carries a semantic interpretation; the smallest unit of language; morphemes comprise the lexicon  
🗑
Morpheme Example:   Cat - 1 morpheme cats - 2 morphemes (cat = 1 and /s/ = 2nd)  
🗑
Phoneme:   A basic speech segment that has the linguistic function of distinguishing minimal units of meaning in spoken language; a basic SOUND segment that distinguishes a morpheme  
🗑
Grapheme   a unit in the WRITING system of a language  
🗑
Daughter: # of graphemes; # of phonemes   Graphemes = 8 Phonemes = 4  
🗑
True or False: The act of speaking depends on an intricate and complex system of structures and their physiology working together to allow human beings to use speech to communicate.   True  
🗑
Manner of Articulation   how the sound is produced; how the airstream is modified as it passes through the vocal tract.  
🗑
Place of Articulation   Refers to which articulators are involved in the production of specific speech sounds; WHERE the sound is produced.  
🗑
True or False: Relevance of Phonetics relates to how knowledge of speech sounds can be used to assess and manage people with communication disorders.   True  
🗑
Phonetic Errors   Addition Deletion/Omission Substitution Distortion Can also be CORRECT though...  
🗑
Phonetic Transcription   a precise representation of what was said  
🗑
Transcription provides the basis for what?   Diagnosing a speech disorder and developing an appropriate intervention strategy.  
🗑
We will be learning Broad Transcription which is a type of transcription where:   symbols represent consonants, vowels, and dipthongs produced in a speech sample.  
🗑
Another type of transcription is   Narrow Transcription which involves symbols to represent target sounds and considers slight variations.  
🗑
Linguistic Complexity =   Length of the stimulus  
🗑
Examples of Linguistic Complexity in a Speech Sample:   Sounds in isolation Sounds in words Sounds in sentences Sounds in continuous speech  
🗑
Response Complexity   Demands of the task captures situational differences between scoring and transcribing (transcribe only 1 target sound/situational unit, or entire speech sample.)  
🗑
How many graphemes in English?   26  
🗑
How many phonemes in English?   42  
🗑
Alphabet   A set of letters or other characters used for writing a language  
🗑
Phonemes: a word can have 1 or more. Use / /   Phonemes are a basic sound segment that has the linguistic function of distinguishing words  
🗑
Physically, speech is:   a pattern of movement of the speech organs  
🗑
Speech is also a pattern of what kind of vibration?   Acoustic vibration  
🗑
True or False: For speech to be understandable, physiologic, acoustic and anatomical properties must work together.   True  
🗑
Different usage patterns within a language is known as a   dialect  
🗑
Dialects are a difference, not a   disorder  
🗑
A lisp is not a speech difference; rather a lisp is a   disorder  
🗑
SAE   Standard American English  
🗑
Minimal Contrasts   2 words that differ by only one phoneme (cat and bat)  
🗑
IPA International Phonetic Alphabet   phonetic symbols included in a universal symbol system; some represent the printed alphabet and others do not.  
🗑
A discipline that focuses on sounds that have become disordered or different is   clinical phonetics  
🗑
Phonemes may be positioned in   initial, medial or final positions  
🗑
Initial, medial or final positions denote   sound positions in a word  
🗑
Syllable initial sounds may be referred to as   releasing sounds  
🗑
Syllable final sounds may be referred to as   arresting sounds  
🗑
Syllable   a grouping of speech movements usually linked together with other syllables in rhythmic pattern; highly adaptive units for articulatory organization  
🗑
Coarticulation   the production of a sound is influenced by other sounds around it  
🗑
Diacritic marks   phonetic symbols used to represent variants of phonemes; placed in (brackets) instead of / /  
🗑
A syllables in English contain a   vowel  
🗑
Consonants can be described as prevocal or postvocalic depending on the position of the   vowel  
🗑
Open syllables   end in a vowel  
🗑
Closed syllables   end in a consonant  
🗑
Syllable stress   part of a word that gets the most emphasis  
🗑
Stressed syllable   gets more emphasis and higher pitch  
🗑
Every single syllable word is   stressed  
🗑
3 speech production subsystems are   Respiratory Laryngeal Articulatory  
🗑
The power source for speech is the   Respiratory System  
🗑
Respiratory Anatomy   Lungs, Ribcage, Abdomen, Internal and External Intercoastal Muscles, Diaphram  
🗑
Speech Breathing   Quick inhalation and long, controlled exhalation  
🗑
Vibratory source for speech is the   Laryngeal system  
🗑
Voice is produced in the   larynx  
🗑
Phonation   sound generated by the vocal fold system  
🗑
Voice Production/phonation   vocal folds vibrate very rapidly to produce a sound pressure wave that travels up the vocal tract  
🗑
Voicing:   Only some consonants are voiced; all vowels are voiced  
🗑
Vocal folds are slightly open during quiet breathing and closed prior to   speech sounds  
🗑
Adams Apple   formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage  
🗑
Thyroarytenoid muscles form the true   vocal folds  
🗑
pitch has to do with   length of vocal folds and speed of vibration, frequency in Hz, cycles per second  
🗑
Men:   120 Hz  
🗑
Women   210 Hz  
🗑
Loudness = intensity = dB = sound pressure level = greater vocal fold adduction and   increased subglottal pressure prior to release burst  
🗑
Articulators   Articulators: Tongue, Lips, Velum/Soft Palate, Teeth, Mandible, Hard Palate could be 6th…  
🗑
The only time the velum is open (dropped down) is for   nasal sounds  
🗑
When the velum is closed (trap door comes UP)   all sound except nasal sounds.  
🗑
What is the lower tip of the soft palate called?   the uvula it is vestigial in man except for drinking, maybe.  
🗑
Velum not closed off when it should be   = hypernasality  
🗑
Denasal or hyponasal   when you have a cold and can't use nose to resonate  
🗑
A sound produced by relatively free passage of airstream   vowel  
🗑
One or more areas of vocal tract narrowing or some degree of constriction partial or complete   consonant  
🗑
Functions of lower jaw:   skeletal support for tongue and lower lip and contributes to movements of tongue and lower lip  
🗑
Parts of tongue   tip, blade/dorsum, base, body  
🗑
Stress:   increased loudness, higher pitch, increased duration  
🗑
Lips   opening, closing, rounding, protruding  
🗑
