phoneme
speech sounds that are connected to create words and meaningful messages
allophone
variations in production of phonemes that do not change the meaning of the word
allophonic variation
influenced by surrounding sounds and position of phoneme in the word
articulators
tongue, lips, teeth, jaw, palate, velum
respiratory system
provides airflow needed for vocal fold vibration
vowels
voiced, non nasals
tongue: front/back high/low
lips: rounded/unrounded
muscular effort: tense/lax
diphthongs
two vowels in one production
distinctive features of speech sounds
13 features used to describe any phoneme in a language
system of - or + for if the sound has the feature or not
consonant features
voice, manner, place
feature of voiced/voiceless
vocal folds vibrating or not vibrating
feature of manner
how consonant is produced/degree of constriction and movement during production
types of manner of consonant production
stops
fricatives
affricates
nasals
rhotic/lateral
glides
stop
complete closure of vocal tract
fricatives
narrow constriction of vocal tract
affricates
combination of fricatives and stops
nasals
complete oral closure=airflow out of nose
glides
followed by vowels and produced with gradually changing articulatory shape
feature of place
where the articulators are in order to produce consonant
places of consonant production
bilabial
labiodental
interdental
alveolar
palatal
velar
glottal
suprasegmental features
information provided beyond individual sound
used to highlight spoken information
stress, pith, intonation, loudness, juncture, speaking, vowel reduction
coarticulation
highlights interaction of phonemes when combined with different words
anticipatory coarticulation
articulators prepare for sound coming later in a word
retentive coarticulation
articulators hold onto a position used for an earlier phoneme
egressive airflow
necessary for speech production
pressure buildup is necessary for most phonemes
