CETP - Physiological and Acoustic
Phonetics complete with verified
solutions already graded A+(solved
& updated)
Code or system of symbols used to express concepts formed through
exposure and experience - answer Language
Phonology - answer The scientific study of sound systems and patterns
used to create sounds and words in a language
Phonemes - answer Smallest unit of sounds that affect meaning
Allophones - answer Variations of phonemes. They do not alter meaning
Phonemic vs. Phonetic - answer Phonemic - idealized/abstract system of
sounds, represented in slash marks (e.g., /s/)
Phonetic - concrete production of specific sounds, enclosed in square
brackets (e.g., [s])
Phone - answer Any sound produced by the vocal tract; usually a single
speech sound
Phonetics - answer Study of speech sounds in terms of their physical,
physiological, and acoustic properties
Acoustic phonetics - answer Examines relationship between articulation
and the acoustic signals of speech, analyzing the acoustic properties of
sound waves
Auditory phonetics - answer The study of hearing, perception, and the
brain's processing of speech
,Articulatory/Physiological phonetics - answer Study of speech sound
production, emphasizing how the physiological movements of the
articulators produce individual sounds
T/F: Voicing is impossible without phonation - answer T: VF vibrations
create phonation; sounds cannot be voiced without adequate phonation
Resonance - answer Modification of sounds by structures and cavities
through which the sound passes
The IPA was developed to... - answer represent speech sounds accurately
and consistently across languages; many languages have sounds that can
be written out in many different ways, and orthographic representations
which make different sounds. The IPA allows us to standardize sound
representation
Broad vs. Narrow transcription - answer Broad transcription only shows
the most noticeable phonetic features of an utterance, while narrow
transcription includes more details about how a speaker produces a sound
(thus making it clinically useful)
Diacritics - answer Special symbols used in narrow transcription
Syllable - answer Smallest phonetic unit, consisting of three parts (onset,
nucleus, coda)
T/F: Consonants can stand alone - answer F: Vowels form the nucleus of
syllables and can stand alone (e.g., ah, oh, I), whereas consonants release
and arrest syllables but cannot stand alone
Vowels may be called ____________, as they carry syllables. A few consonants
are also this, as they can form the nucleus of a syllable (e.g., m, n, l) -
answer syllabic
, Open vs. Closed syllable - answer Open syllables end in vowels, closed
syllables end in consonants (i.e., they're arrested by a consonant/coda)
The skill of identifying the # of syllables in a word - answer Syllabification
Compare Vowels vs. Consonants - answer Vowels
- Always voiced
- May stand alone
- Velum is always elevated (i.e., all Vs are oral sounds)
- Vocal tract is open
- Airflow is continuous
- May be described by distinctive fts, tongue and lip position, tense vs. lax
Consonants
- Voiced or voiceless
- Combined with vowels
- Velum can be elevated or lowered
- Airflow is modified, constricted, or stopped
- May be described by distinctive fts, place-voice-manner
Two systems to classify speech sounds - answer 1) Distinctive features
analysis
2) Place-Voice-Manner analysis
Distinctive features analysis - answer Describes each phoneme as a
collection of independent features; phonemes may share common
features, but all phonemes have some unique characteristic that
distinguish them from others
Distinctive features analysis is a ____________ system; features are either
present (+) or absent (-) - answer binary
