Q

Metathesis

A
  • Syllable Structure

* Reorder the sequence of consonants and vowels within a syllable

46
Q

Final Consonant Deletion (FCD)

A
  • Reduction
  • Deletion of a final singleton consonant in a word as well as a deletion of a final consonant cluster (has to be entire cluster for FCD)
47
Q

Initial consonant deletion

A
  • Reduction
  • Initial singleton consonant is deleted
  • This is rare in normal development
48
Q

Cluster Reduction or substitution

A
  • Reduction
  • Deletion or substitution of some or all members of a cluster; replacement of a cluster with an easier consonant (eg frog becomes pog)
49
Q

Velar Fronting

A

• Substitution
• velar sound becomes anterior sound (usually alveolar stop)
/k/ –> /t/
/g/ –> /d/

50
Q

Palatal Fronting

A

• Substitution
• palatal sound becomes an alveolar stop
/shh/ —> /t/ Ship —> tip
/zhh/ —> /d/ pleasure —> pleadure

51
Q

Stopping

A
• Substitution
• Fricatives and affricates become stops 
/v/ ---> /b/ very --> berry
"shh" ---> /t/ --> ship --> tip
"ch" --> /p/  --> chip --> pip
52
Q

Backing

A
  • Substitution

* anterior sound is replaced with posterior sound

• Substitution
• Glide becomes prevocalic liquid

60
Q

Devoicing

A
  • Substitution
  • Voiced consonant becomes voiceless

A
  • sound change follows influenced sound

* “coat” becomes “toat” (/t/ influences /k/ to become /t/)

62

67
Q

Articulation vs Phonology

A
  • Artic: point of juncture of two or more structures; refers to the physical movements and placement of the articulators; acoustic and physical aspects of speech
  • Phon: broader and more abstract; system of rules underlying sound production and sound combinations; how sounds are used to convey meaning
68
Q

Artic disorder vs phono disorder

A
  • artic: sound productions resulting in nonstandard speech sounds; mild distortion of /r/ is an artic error if it doesn’t change the meaning of the word; applied to mild or moderate sound distortions
  • phonological: change the meaning of the word; “fun” becomes “gun”; phonemic contrast is lost and the meaning is affected; sound production errors that result in the collapse of phonemic contrasts and affect meaning
69
Q

Articulation disorders are used in reference to sound production errors:

A

associated with organic, structural, or neurological origin; limited to a few sounds; without identifiable pattern

70
Q

Speech as dynamic process

A

connected speech sounds are not made in isolation; they vary according the the other sounds around them.

71
Q

Coarticulation

A

Sounds influence each other when put together; they are affected by immediate neighboring sounds

Ex: first street

72
Q

Phonetic adaptation

A

Artic movement variations and changes in the configuration of the vocal tract; sounds the precede or follow a phoneme change it.

ex: tin and took (back vowel, retract tongue on /t/)

73
Q

Assimilation

A

Extensive modification that has a noticeable difference. Perceptual change is detected

ex: computer to pomputer
