Picture #1
- teeth
- uvula
- tongue
- alveolar ridge
- tonsil
- maxilla
- mandible
- hard palate
- soft palate
- pharynx
Picture #2
- nasal cavity
- oral cavity
- pharyngeal cavity
- larynx
- vocal folds
Prosody
- suprasegmental components of speech
- melody, intonation, rhythm, sing song to make speech interesting
Components of Prosody
-vocal quality, tone, rate, pitch, volume, melody
speech definition
-an organized set or system of sounds that are used to convey meaning
Articulation and 3 components
- used to describe a person’s speech
- Respiration: automatic process, breath support achieved through lungs, rib cage, airways, diaphragm, and other structures
- Resonation: involuntary, altering size and shape of vocal tract
- Phonation: conscious process, onset and initiation of speech production sets off vfs into vibration through movement of air
Articulators
- tongue (tip, blade, root)
- teeth
- lips
- hard palate
- soft palate (velum)
- alveolar ridge
- nasal, oral and pharyngeal cavities
- maxilla (upper jaw)
- mandible (lower jaw)
How do we articulate?
- vocal tract movements (expand and contract)
- timing
- accuracy in placement of artics
- sequencing or direction of movement of artics
- physical force extended (amnt of force needed)
- speed of response
- basic integration of all of these events, a culminating process
Artic Disorder
- any difficulties that occur w. any of processes that result in speech
- speech sound production problem
- speech produced incorrectly or inadequately
Articulatory Phonetics
- directly related to speech sound production.
- study of how artics work together to produce individ. sounds
Articulatory Phonetics looking at:
- vf vibration moving (voiced) or not (voiceless)
- partial or total obstruction (airway) consonants road block
- open vocal tract or less obstructed productions (vowels open highway)
Three categories of Phonetic Production
- place
- manner
- voice
Acoustic Phonetics
- sound perception of acoustic signal by listener
- pitch
- loudness
pitch
- hz
- frequency
loudness
- dbl
- volume
phoneme
- smallest linguistic unit of sound that can signal a difference in meaning
- boy vs toy
- cat vs cats
minimal pair
- words that differ in only 1 phonemic value
- lag vs tag
- lag vs log
phonetics
- study of sounds emphasizing their description according to their production, transmission, and perceptual features
- FORM of the sound
phonology
- study of systems and patterns of phonemes w.in a given lang.
- FUNCTION is key
- rules that govern sound combination and rules change meaning w.in lang system.
phonological delay
-child is picking up on natural changes around them but at slower rate than peers
phonological disorder
- adversely affects function
- trouble academically
- speech sounds not approp. for any aged c
- reflect a more central deficiency and affects:
- morphology
- syntax
- semantics
- pragmatics
A vowel can function as
-a syllable nucleus in some circumstances (button)
monopthongs
- pure vowel
- a, e, o
diphthongs
-two vowels combined to form 1 phonemic value (I= a + e)
like = LaIk
-consonants
- produced w. greater constriction
- place (where)
- manner (how produced)
- voice (vibration, vfs moving or not)
semivowel aka..
- sonorant consonant
- less obstruction of airstream
- nasals
- liquids
- glides
obstruent consonants
- greater amnt of obstruction w.in oral cavity
- stop
- fricatives
- affricates
coarticulation
- pobody’s nerfect
- result of constant positioning and repositioning of artics as they move over a stretch of speech
- production of a sound is inflfulenced by other sounds around it due to its phonetic contact
- jon bovi
- peanut belly
- snow flowers
- framily
assimilation
-one sound becomes similar to a neighboring sound
-adaptive artic changes in which consequence of natural articulatory adjustments
-street
-bad boy bab boy
bad girl bag girl
that man thap man
Phonetic transcriptions systems are used to:
- document during assessment phase (speech sound event)
- document speech events descriptive in nature and all symbols represent a defined event
phonetic transcription is the process of:
-fine tuning the auditory perception
IPA
- International Phonetic Alphabet
- documents irregular articulatory event
- most widely used transcription system in world
- tells how speech act was executed
Diacritics
-narrow or fine pt. transcription markers used to demonstrate various processes
Narrow Transcription markers for:
- dentalization
- aspiration
- lateralization
- velarization
- palatalization
Fortis
marker for more effort made
Lenis
marker for less effort made
Diacritical markings
- used to show stress
- breathiness
- nasality
- de-nasality
- loudness
- pitch
- duration
- primary stress and secondary stress (think of name)
