verified answers
Phonology - ANS ✔✔Systematic organization of sound in a language (rules about sound)
Phoneme - ANS ✔✔Smallest unit of sound
Minimal pairs - ANS ✔✔A phoneme that can make one word different from another meaning
(ex: peep vs. beep)
Phonological development - ANS ✔✔Acquiring the rules of language that govern that sound
structure of syllables and words
Phonological represenational - ANS ✔✔Neurological imprint of a phoneme that differentiates it
from other phonemes
Phonological knowledge - ANS ✔✔Acquisition of internal representations of phonemes in a
language
Phonological production/expression - ANS ✔✔Using the knowledge to produce syllables and
words
Phonemic inventory - ANS ✔✔All of the sounds that are typically produced in a specific
language
Do children develop a phonemic inventory as they grow? - ANS ✔✔Yes.
, What develops first within a child's phonemic inventory, vowels or consonants? - ANS
✔✔Vowels.
Intelligibility percentages - ANS ✔✔1yr: 25%
2yr: 50%
3yr: 75%
4yr: 100%
Phonological awareness - ANS ✔✔Ability to attend to phonological units of speech (bridge
between language and reading)
Phonological awareness tasks - ANS ✔✔Phoneme awareness, syllable counting, rhyme
detection, initial sound identification, initial sound elision, phoneme counting
Phonics - ANS ✔✔Teaches the relationship between graphemes and sounds
Graphemes - ANS ✔✔Letters
Morphology: - ANS ✔✔Rules that govern how morphemes are used
Morphemes - ANS ✔✔Smallest meaningful units of language
Bound morphemes - ANS ✔✔Do not stand alone, must be attached to other morphemes (ex:
plural s)
