ASLP 3030 Final UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Described by the source theory as well as voiced or voiceless - CORRECT ANSWER -
Consonant acoustics
Source for voiced consonants is the same for - CORRECT ANSWER - vowels
Source is aperiodic noise for - CORRECT ANSWER - Voiceless consonants
Consonants can be described by 3 parameters: - CORRECT ANSWER - Manner, place,
voicing
For place of articulation, as the place of closure changes, it changes the size of the - CORRECT
ANSWER - Resonant cavity
Describes the degree of constriction of the vocal tract - CORRECT ANSWER - Manner of
articulation
Consonants are either voice or voiceless depending on - CORRECT ANSWER - VF
vibration
To produce the nasal consonant, - CORRECT ANSWER - the velum is lowered allowing
airflow in nasal cavity
In the production of nasal consonants, having a velo-pharyngeal port open produces 2 potential
tubes: - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. The nasal cavity
2. The oral cavity
, The velo-pharyngeal port is a tube with another branching off of it, also known as - CORRECT
ANSWER - side-branch resonator
Fricatives are quieter than - CORRECT ANSWER - vowels, nasals, and approximates
Fricatives are quieter than other consonants because - CORRECT ANSWER - they are
produced with a constriction that decreases the volume of the oral cavity, causing sub-glottal
pressure to increase
A smaller difference between supra- and sub-glottal pressure leads to - CORRECT
ANSWER - smaller effects on phonation and lower amplitude of VF vibration
There are 2 primary acoustic cues of articulation for bilabial, alveolar, and velar stops: -
CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Burst frequency
2. Formant transition cues
High-frequency bursts for _____
Mid-frequency bursts for _____
Low-frequency bursts for _____ - CORRECT ANSWER - - alveolars
- velars
- bilabials
To produce an affricate, there is - CORRECT ANSWER - complete closure of the vocal
tract, followed by frication noise during release of closure
Difference between affricates and fricatives - CORRECT ANSWER - Affricates are
usually shorter in duration and have a faster rise time than fricatives
Fricatives are produced by making a - CORRECT ANSWER - constriction in the vocal
tract and then pushing aperiodic noise around the constriction
