105 Test 1 Flashcards
The study of speech sounds, sound patterns, and rules for combining sounds in meaningful words and sentences
Phonology
The study of speech sounds, their production and acoustic properties, and the written symbols used to represent their productions
Phonetics
In the study of speech production, a single speech sound represented by a single symbol in the phonetic system
Phone
A family of phones or sounds perceived to belong to the same category. May consist of many productions that vary slightly, but don’t change meaning (allophonic variation)
Phoneme
Minimal unit of meaning or the smallest unit of language caring semantic interpretation
Morpheme
A whole word that can’t be broken down into smaller units (root word)
Free morpheme
Suffixes or prefixes that attach to a free morpheme to alter meaning
Bound morpheme
- A variant or alternate form of phoneme within a language
- They do not change the meaning of a word
Allophone
Subtle phonemic variations that do not change the meaning in words often as a result of the phonetic context (the sounds proceeding a phoneme)
Allophonic variation
- Recording of speech sounds into phonemic symbols between virgules. The variations in phoneme production are not represented
Ex. /t/
Phonemic transcription
Recording of speech sounds using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and diacritic markers. These are sounds actually produced by an individual. Transcription in [ ]
Phonetic transcription
Special symbols used in narrow phonetic transcription to depict the articulatory or perceptual features of a phone
Diacritic markers
The influence that sounds have on other sounds when they come together to form words, phrases, or sentences
Coarticulation
The rules for combining sounds
Phonotactics
Include the sound changes that occur due to the modification of free morphemes
