COMS 3333 Exam 1 Questions AND Correct Answers
(phonation process) aspects influenced by movements of the vocal folds -
✔✔pitch, loudness, quality.
acoustic - ✔✔physics of speech...physical properties of speech sounds
transmission
airstream mechanism - ✔✔the manner in which an airstream is set in motion
for the purposes of speech.
allophone - ✔✔is a variant of a phoneme.
approximant glides - ✔✔are produced with very little constriction of airflow.
they are characterized by a rapid, gliding motion of the articulators from a
partly constricted state to a more open state for the following vowel.
/j/ = yes, cute. tongue raises to hard palate (but not too close) making it palatal
/w/ = lips approximate a bilabial and back of tongue raises to velum (not too
close) making it velar.
/hw/= voiceless counterpart to /w/
approximants - ✔✔are produced when two articulator approach or
approximate each other without the vocal tract being narrowed (constricted) to
an extent that turbulent airstream is produced.
articulatory - ✔✔productions, description and classification of speech sounds
, auditory - ✔✔perception of speech sounds.
binary - ✔✔the idea of a feature with two values.
voicing is an example of a binary feature. a sound is either voiced(+) or
voiceless(-)
branches of phonetics - ✔✔articulatory, acoustic, auditory
+ clinical
breathy voice (murmur) - ✔✔vocal folds are slightly apart so that they vibrate
while allowing airflow through the glottis.
/h/ sounds
broad transcription - ✔✔phonemic!
captures the phonemes of language. in / /
central airflow - ✔✔most speech sounds are madde through central airflow,
through the middle of the oral cavity, which is unmarked case.
closed syllable - ✔✔has consonants at the end.
coarticulation - ✔✔refers to overlapping of neighboring sound segments.
sounds before/ after influence then next/previous sounds.
