Q

What is phonotactics?

A

A branch of phonology; the study of the possible combinations of sounds (phonemes) in a language (i.e. what is/not allowed, or is allowed but doesn’t mean anything)

E.g. Trash = real word, sounds okay
Praff = not a word, sounds okay
Fprafz = not a word, doesn’t sound okay

Q

Why can’t we just “spell it out” (orthography)? Why do we rely on phonemic transcription/International Phonetic Alphabet?

A

Things can be:

  • spelled similarly and sound different (e.g. tough, though, through, trough, thorough…)
  • spelled differently and sound similar (e.g. sew vs so; too vs to vs two; led vs lead…)

23
Q

What 3 things do we use to describe consonant speech sounds?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • place of articulation
  • manner of articulation
  • voicing
24
Q

What 3 things do we use to describe vowel speech sounds?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • height
  • backness
  • rounding
25
Which involve a constriction in the vocal tract: consonants or vowels?
Consonants
26
Where is the alveolar ridge located?
Behind the teeth
27
Where is the "lingual alveolar" region of your mouth?
Behind the palates
28
Describe "stops" and give an example
Complete closure followed by release (e.g. p, b, t, d, k, g, ʔ)
29
Describe "fricatives" and give an example
Small opening allowing air to pass with friction; escaping air is turbulent and produces FRICTION-like sound (e.g. f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, h,)
30
Describe "affricates" and give an example
Sequence of a stop immediately followed by a fricative (e.g. tʃ, dʒ)
31
Describe "nasals" and give an example
Stops with velar lowering, allowing air to escape through nasal cavity (e.g. m, n, ŋ)
32
Describe "approximants" and give an example
Greater opening than other consonants, but not as open as vowels; no friction; always voiced E.g. "liquids": l, r "glides": j, w
33
What determines "voicing"?
The state of the glottis: voiced = vocal folds are close and vibrating; voiceless = vocal folds are open
34
Obstruents are sounds that can be voiced or voiceless, whereas sonorants can only be voiced. Name one of each based on their manner of articulation
Obstruents: stops, fricatives, affricates Sonorants: nasals, approximants
35
Which of the following anchor words has the vowel symbol /i/: beet, bit, bait, bet, bat, but, boot, book, boat, bought

Which of the following anchor words has the vowel symbol /ʊ/: beet, bit, bait, bet, bat, but, boot, book, boat, bought
Book
44
Which of the following anchor words has the vowel symbol /ə/ & /ʌ/: beet, bit, bait, bet, bat, but, boot, book, boat, bought
