Q

Why is phonetic transcription important?

A

Accurate transcription forms the basis for diagnosis of a speech sound disorder

Q

Word Position

A

Initial – beginning of word
• Medial – middle of word
▫ Words can have more than 1 medial speech sound
• Final – end of word

57
Q

Phonotactics

A
The rules for how sounds can be combined to form syllables and how these sounds can be distributed
• Rules are specific for each language
• Includes:
▫ Where certain sounds can appear
▫ Possible combination of sounds
▫ Number of consonants in the initial & final
position of words
▫ Possible order of occurrence of sounds
58
Q

English Examples of phonotactics

A

Word position
▫ /h/ and /w/ can occur initial & medial, but not
final word position
• Possible combinations
▫ /str/ initial is possible, but not /str/ final
▫ Stops are usually not combined together
• Number of consonants that can be combined
▫ English has 2, 3 & 4 consonant cluster combinations (e.g. /st-/, /str-/, /-mpst/

59
Q

Coarticulation

A

Sounds have influence on one another when they are linked to make words, phrases and sentences
▫ Adaptations – variations in articulatory movement ▫ Assimilations – speech sound becomes similar to a
neighboring sound
• All sounds are affected by their neighboring sounds,
especially those immediately preceding or following
them
• As normal language speakers, we identify when we
make errors in speech production & usually self- correct them

60
Q

Why does theory matter?

A

Theories offer a variety of clinical possibilities
 Each theory provides a somewhat different perspective on the problem to be solved
 Phonological theories help us focus on the details and gather valuable diagnostic information

61
Q

Form - articulation

A

focus is on production of sounds

62
Q

Function – phonology

A

focus is on use of sounds

63
Q

Utterances

A

combine form (articulation) and function (phonology) to convey meaning

64
Q

Traditional speech therapy focused primarily

A

on articulation – speech sound production – while language was ignored

65
Q

More contemporary therapy focuses

A

on mastering phonological rules

Ultimately, children need both traditional and contemporary to succeed

66
Q

Distinctive Feature

A

smallest identifiable sound properties that establish phonemes
 e.g. voiced vs. voiceless, nasal vs. non-nasal
***Children acquire features that have maximal physiological contrast before those of minute distinction (start big work towards small)
e.g. vowel vs. consonant distinction would precede fricative
vs. affricate distinction
Modern clinical practice of using minimal pairs
training to correct speech sound errors developed from this theory
 e.g. “tea” and “see”

67
Q

Distinctive Feature System

A

Published by Chomsky-Halle in 1968
 Most widely used & recognized distinctive feature system
*** Developed as a means of analyzing phonemes and entire phoneme systems of languages
 Uses a binary system to signal presence (+) or absence (-) of certain distinctive features
 Analyzing the distinctive features of the target sound to the substitution allows us to determine error patterns

68
Q

Naturalness

A

Relative simplicity of a sound production

 High frequency of occurrence in languages

69
Q

Markedness

A

Relatively more difficult to produce  Occur less frequently in languages

70
Q

Theory of Naturalness and Markedness

A

terms are on opposite ends of the continuum
 Developmental studies have suggested that more natural features are learned more easily or earlier than more marked features
 Children with phonological disorders tend to substitute more natural classes of sounds for marked ones

71
Q

Theory of Naturalness and Markedness examples

A

Stops are more natural than fricatives Fricatives are more natural than affricates
Anterior consonants are more natural than nonanterior consonants
Close-tense vowels are more natural than open-lax vowels

72
Q

Natural Phonology Theory

A

Designed to explain the development of a child’s phonological system
 Theory states children are born an innate sound system and must progress to meet the demands of adult phonological forms present in the adult language
 Suppression of phonological processes is necessary to achieve adult-like sounds

73
Q

Phonological Processes

A

The patterned modifications of the adult speech model by normally developing children
 The sound error patterns used by children diagnosed with a phonological disorder
 Results in a simplification of the production
 Child’s speech productions can be assessed, classified and analyzed according to the processes present

74
Q

Phonological Processes Categorization

A

Syllable structure processes
Substitution processes
Assimilation processes

75
Q

or is influenced for a neighboring sound in the utterance

78
Q

Syllable Structure Processes

A
Cluster reduction
Final consonant deletion
Initial consonant deletion 
 Weak syllable deletion 
Epenthesis
79
Q

Cluster Reduction

A

Simplification of consonant clusters into a single consonant

80
Q

Final Consonant Deletion

A

Omission of the final consonant of a word [da] for dog
[bi] for bead
[hæ] for hat
 Can include omission of an entire consonant cluster at the end of a word
 Changes the word from a closed syllable (ending in a consonant) to an open syllable word

81
Q

Initial Consonant Deletion

A

Omission of the initial consonant of a word [u] for shoe
[ek] for wake
[on] for stone
 Can include omission of an entire consonant cluster at the beginning of the word
***Rare in normal phonological development, but can be observed in children with phonological disorder

82
Q

Weak Syllable Deletion

A

 Omission of an unstressed syllable in a polysyllabic word

 [tɛfon] for telephone  [nænə] for banana

83
Q

Epenthesis

A

Insertion of an unstressed vowel, typically /ə/, between 2 consonants
Usually vowel is inserted between 2 consonants in an initial cluster

85
Q

Stopping

A

Substitution of a stop for a fricative [tʌn] for sun
[pæn] for fan
[læp] for laugh
 Common process in normal phonological development
 Most often observed in word initial position

86
Q

Fronting

A

Replacement of a more posterior speech sound with a speech sound made in a more anterior position

[tі] for key [dо] for go [su] for shoe

87
Q

Backing

A

Sounds in a more anterior position are replaced with sounds produced in a more posterior position
*** Not a commonly occurring process in normal development, but is observed in children with phonological disorders
 Opposite of fronting
 /k/ for /t/, [ku] for [tu]
 /g/ for /d/, [gο] for dough  /h/ for /s/, [hup] for soup

the first 50 words- how the process works

A

Child develops single words until he/she has acquired 50 meaningful words
Once child has 50 words, he/she will begin to combine them into 2 word phrases
When a child is producing 50 words, he/she can likely understand about 200 words
CV, VC, and CVC syllables dominate
Words are typically learned as whole units, rather than a collection of sounds
Develops intonation to help communicate intent of spoken words
Labeling objects – flat intonation
Making requests, expressing surprise or showing
curiosity – rising intonation
Being playful or for emphatic stress – rising-
falling intonation
First 50 words stage ends when child has acquired about 50 expressive words & 2 word phrases emerge, typically by age 24 months

114
Q

first word

A

“Relatively stable phonetic form produced

consistently by the child in a particular context and recognizably related to the adultlike word form”

115
Q

intonation

A

(variations in pitch)

116
Q

Preschool Child

A

Begins at the end of the 50 first words stage (around 24 months) with the emergence of 2 word phrases and continues until the child reaches 6 years of age
Period of largest growth in the child’s phonological system

117
Q

Preschool Child 24 – 30 MONTHS OLD

A

expressive (speaks) vocabulary expands to 150-300 words
Receptive (understands) vocabulary expands from 1200 words
Limited phonetic inventory
Producing 2-3 word phrases

118
Q

preschool Child 5 YEARS OLD

A

Expressive vocabulary has expanded to 2200 words
Receptive vocabulary has expanded to 9600 words
phonological system is almost completely developed
Language contains most basic grammatical structures

119
Q

Vowel Development

A

By age 18 months, children have mastered /ɑ, ʊ, i, ɪ, ʌ/
Limited research studies on vowel development
Generally, most studies agree that children have acquired all vowels by age 3 years
Exception is /ɝ/, /ɚ/, /ɪr/, /ɛr/, /ar/,& /or/, which are typically mastered by 6th birthday

120
Q

Research Related to Consonant Development

A

Cross-sectional method:
Collected speech production samples from picture naming tasks
Studies contained a large # of children, excluding those with known hearing or language impairments
Each study established criteria for mastery of a sound (75% or 90%), as well as which word positions were sample (initial & final vs. initial, medial & final)
Results are displayed in terms of age of acquisition of consonant sounds

126
Q

Phonological Processes Disappearing by Age 3

A
