Surface form

Study These Flashcards
A

actual end products of production

23
Q

Underlying representation

Study These Flashcards
A

the mental concept of a sound (aka a phoneme)

24
Q

Constraints

Study These Flashcards
A

something that the system is not able to do
—>preferences/avoidance

reason for a rule or process

25
Preferences
opposite of constraints; what the child’s system can do
26
Phonological processes
innate universal set that governs the patterns of speech, easier productions, until motor capacities can mature; Error patterns that are frequently seen as kids are developing→ turns into a SSD if it doesn’t go away
27
Distinctive feature
a system of the component features of sounds that is used for describing the differences b/w phonemes in a language
28
Marked
sounds that are more difficult to produce & sound that are found less frequently in languages
29
Unmarked
sounds that appear to be natural; tend to be easier to acquire and are thus acquired earlier & occur frequently in languages
30
Distinctive Feature theory
there are distinctive features that distinguish phonemes in a language *feature chart
31
Generative Phonology
Builds on distinctive feature theory 2 levels: Phonological representation and phonemic representation proposed rules to help describe under which contexts phonemes are to be articulated * rules
32
Natural Phonology
patterns of speech are governed by an innate, universal set of phonological processes leads to easier productions when motor capacities don't yet allow typical productions
33
Multilinear/nonlinear phonology
segments (individual sounds) are governed by more complex A hierarchy of factors affect individual speech sounds Tier system: Each phonological element can be evaluated independently and with respect to its interactions with other elements 1. Prosodic tier: words and structures of words 2. Segmental tier: segments and associated features
34
What is the difference between an underlying representation and the surface form of a sound?
The underlying representation refers to speakers' abstract concepts of their phones (language sounds), and the surface form (SF) refers the phones that are actually produced
35
Explain protective factors and risk factors of SSD
Being male increases the risk of having SSD prenatal risk factors: medications during pregnancy, maternal infection, extreme stress Postnatal risk factors: birth complications, infections, preterm birth, low birth weight , NICU family history of speech, lang & literacy difficulties= risk factor for SD Reactive Presence of hearing loss
36
hOW MIGHT WE USE FEATURES TO THINK MORE COMPREHENSIVELY ABOUT AN APPROACH TO GOALS AND TARGETS? HOW MIGHT THIS HELP WITH GENERALIZATION?
- it provides systematic way of thinking about speech sounds - before SLPs would just treat ‘r’ and individual errors - now we can look at system comprehensively If you target features rather than individual errors, generalization may be enhanced once a child grasps a particular feature!!
37
How might phonological theory help us explain ____ when it coms to phonological development?
..
38
How might distinctive feature theory/generative phonology or natural help us to explain ___ when it comes to phonological development.
..
39
How might speech intelligibility evolve over time for an adolescent with a history of SSD?
..
40
in your own words, explain what a speech sound disorder is to someone without a background
The term SSD is an umbrella term that descibes all types of challenges that impact the production of speech sounds
41
What are some of the ways in which children may experience an anatomical difference that impacts their speech production?
Ankyloglossia (tongue tie) → will only affect speech if severe Enlarged adenoids → may affect resonance Impacts quality of resonance of sound Enlarged tonsils → can restrict velar movements Cleft palate (hard or soft palate) interferes with articulation and resonance! Also changes the ability to nasalize because of issues building up pressure in the vocal tract. (no intra oral pressure) Issue related to soft palate in particular: velopharyngeal insufficiency Reduced intraoral pressure Hypernasality Unusual substitutions Conductive HL or OME has impact on development of speech (prolonged ear infections may lead to delay) Severe ankyloglossia can’t really impact speech unless it’s severe/same with teeth (malocclusion) and macroglossia
42
What are some of the ways in which children may experience neurological differences that impact their speech production?
Cerebral palsy=> leads to dysarthria Muscular dystrophy Acquired brain injuries Cognitive conditions that affect cranial nerves
43
What are some of the ways in which children may experience cognitive-linguistic difference that impact their speech production?
Implicit learning affects not only perception, but also of prelinguistic infants Attention & memory deficits Ability to make arbitrary associations Affects the ability to understand the perceptual quality of sounds Implicit learning- learning speech sounds in ambient environment is affected (perception and production). Kids act like statisticians and they can’t take in everything if that’s affected Attention and memory deficits- if you can’t pay attention, you can’t learn. Also if you can’t store words/grammar sequences you can’t use them Ability to make arbitrary associations- no one tells you the rules explicitly, need to infer **23% of kids with SSD have attention deficit
44
Explain to someone without a background the three major ways in which we can organize speech sounds (place, manner, voicing) and provide an example of each.
Place: where the sound is produced (ex. /p/ is bilabial which means it is produced using the lower and upper lips) Manner: how the sound is produced (ex. /p/ is a stop which means their is closure of the articulators to obstruct the airstream) Voicing: voiced vs. voiceless (ex. /s/ vs. /z/ → your vocal cords vibrate when you produce a /z/ sound but not when you produce a /s/ sound)
45
Linear phonologies
Belief that speech segments (individual sounds) are arranged in a sequential order underlying representation & surface representations (productions) = string of discrete elements
46
deviant process
a process that doesn't have a clear physiologic basis among the languages in the world (language- specific)
47
supression
overcoming a physiological limitation in order to produce the sound patterns of a language
48
Impacts of SSD on childs life
CHILDREN LIVES: PREFER QUIET ACTIVITIES, TEMPERAMENT REACTION TO NOT BEING UNDERSTOOD
49
Impact of ssd on education
30-77% reading difficulties, math difficulties ( word problems), remedial education
50
Impacts of SSD on Social
making/keeping friends, self-esteem, school enjoyment, risk of bullying
51
Impacts of SSD ON oCCUPATIONAL
Less likely to attend college, semiskilled/unskilled jobs, workplace discrimination
52
Impact of SSD on family
negative labels/stigma, advocacy
53
2 factors that indicate a childs errors might not resolve on their own
Distortions: not as precise as you would expect, but not an entirely different sound Concomitant language impairment
54
SPEECH SOUND DISORDERS IS AN UMBRELLA TERM THAT ENCOMPASSESS:
Phonology: phonological disorder, inconsistent speech disorder Moto speech: articulation disorders, CAS, childhood dysarthria
