refers to the adaptive articulatory changes by which one speech sound becomes similar, sometimes identical, to a neighboring sound segment.
Assimilation:
specifics the parameter or scaling variables of muscle movement needed to realize the plan
motor programming (phonemic)
focus is on the nature of children’s underlying representation considering:
- how representations are first established through the perception of speech
- how stored abstract representations are transformed into physically uttered words
representation-based account theory (contemporary theory)
T/F: /f/ and /v/ are stridents but not sibilants
true
assimilation where earlier occurring sound segment that influences a following sound (i.e., ice cream becomes ice stream)
Progressive:
constraint-based phonological theory which explains language universals, phonological acquisition, and phonological disorders according to specific constraints which are imposed up on the patterns; constricts are based on the principles of markedness
optimal theory (contemporary theory)
the simplification of consonant clusters (two or more consonants next to each other in a word) to a single sound or a more manageable combination of sounds
cluster reduction
-spoon -> poon
-truck -> tuck
theories in which single sound segments are seen as being governed by more complex linguistic dimension (i.e., stress, intonation, and metrical and rhythmical factors)
-Different sounds develop at different rates
-Arrangement of sounds (hand theory)
non linear/multi linear theory (contemporary theory)
Which foundational theory defines development based on a group where single sound segments are governed by more complex linguistic dimensions and different types of phonemes may develop at different speeds
nonlinear
word pairs that differ simply by the presence or absence of a phoneme (i.e., late and plate)
near minimal pair
group of vowels and specific consonants that demonstrate increased relative loudness in relationship to other sounds with the same length, stress, and pitch
sonorants
sibilant or strident making hissing sound
sibilant
a phonological process where a voiceless consonant (like /p/, /t/, /k/) at the beginning of a word or syllable is replaced with its voiced counterpart (like /b/, /d/, /g/)
prevocalic voicing
process in which the articulatory properties of one sound influence the production of another
assimilatory (harmony) processes
the initial consonant sound, digraph, or blend that comes before a vowel sound
onset
study of linguistic meaning and includes meaning of words, phrases, and sentences
semantics
in normal speech children have a tendency to _____ final obstruents (i.e., bed, dishes)
devoice
substitution, omission, distortion, addition, that may interfere with intelligibility
articulation disorder
Phonetic realizations of a phoneme (i.e., Laugh vs. fuLL vs pLay), does not change the meaning of the word
Allophones
subcategory of fricatives. Have a sharper sound o more strident quality than others due to the presence of high frequency acoustic components “hissing sounds”
sibilant
A speech sound
Phone
study of the structure of words
morphology
assimilation when sounds are separated by at least one other sound segment (i.e., pig becomes gig)
Noncontiguous/Remote:
complete or narrow constriction between the articulators hindering the expiratory air stream
Obstruents (Stops, fricates, affricates)
