Q

What is phonotactics?

A

A branch of phonology; the study of the possible combinations of sounds (phonemes) in a language (i.e. what is/not allowed, or is allowed but doesn’t mean anything)

E.g. Trash = real word, sounds okay
Praff = not a word, sounds okay
Fprafz = not a word, doesn’t sound okay

Q

Why can’t we just “spell it out” (orthography)? Why do we rely on phonemic transcription/International Phonetic Alphabet?

A

Things can be:

  • spelled similarly and sound different (e.g. tough, though, through, trough, thorough…)
  • spelled differently and sound similar (e.g. sew vs so; too vs to vs two; led vs lead…)

23
Q

What 3 things do we use to describe consonant speech sounds?

A
  • place of articulation
  • manner of articulation
  • voicing
24
Q

What 3 things do we use to describe vowel speech sounds?

A
  • height
  • backness
  • rounding
25
Q

Which involve a constriction in the vocal tract: consonants or vowels?

A

Consonants

26
Q

Where is the alveolar ridge located?

A

Behind the teeth

27
Q

Where is the “lingual alveolar” region of your mouth?

A

Behind the palates

28
Q

Describe “stops” and give an example

A

Complete closure followed by release (e.g. p, b, t, d, k, g, ʔ)

29
Q

Describe “fricatives” and give an example

A

Small opening allowing air to pass with friction; escaping air is turbulent and produces FRICTION-like sound (e.g. f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, h,)

30
Q

Describe “affricates” and give an example

A

Sequence of a stop immediately followed by a fricative (e.g. tʃ, dʒ)

31
Q

Describe “nasals” and give an example

A

Stops with velar lowering, allowing air to escape through nasal cavity (e.g. m, n, ŋ)

32
Q

Describe “approximants” and give an example

A

Greater opening than other consonants, but not as open as vowels; no friction; always voiced
E.g. “liquids”: l, r
“glides”: j, w

33
Q

What determines “voicing”?

A

The state of the glottis: voiced = vocal folds are close and vibrating; voiceless = vocal folds are open

34
Q

Obstruents are sounds that can be voiced or voiceless, whereas sonorants can only be voiced. Name one of each based on their manner of articulation

A

Obstruents: stops, fricatives, affricates

Sonorants: nasals, approximants
