Answer:
the parts of the oral tract that are used to produced sounds; two things coming together (i.e. lips coming
together, tongue to top)
Question:
3. articulatory phonetics
Answer:
study of phonetics w emphasis on position and movement of articulators
Question:
4. acoustic phonetics
Answer:
study of phonetics with respect to the physics of sound
Question:
5. clinical phonetics
Answer:
apply concepts of phonetics to disorders; describe the way ppl are producing sounds
Question:
6. perceptual discrimination
Answer:
use a symbol to indicate how someone is producing a sound (i.e. a regular /s/ and an /s/ with a lisp)
Question:
7. transcription
Answer:
use of symbols to represent the production of speech sounds
Question:
8. broad transcription
Answer:
general detail, more than one symbol, just enough to understand what the person is saying
, Question:
9. narrow transcription
Answer:
fine detail, more than one symbol, adds phonetic detail to broad transcription using diacritics (i.e. they way

Question:
10. principles of phonetics...
Answer:
- isomorphism: one symbol for one sound
