acoustics & acoustic analysis and speech science Flashcards
what is on the x-axis of the waveform?
time
what is on the y-axis of the waveform?
amplitude
What is on the x-axis of the spectrogram?
time
What is on the y-axis of the spectrogram?
frequency
What is on the x-axis of the spectral plot?
frequency
what is on the y-axis of the spectral plot?
amplitude
draw an example of a waveform (roughly)
you need to be able to identify them on the test

what is the speech production system?
respiration phonation resonation articulation prosody
what are the systems of language
phonology morphology semantics syntax pragmatics prosody
what is phonation?
vibration of the vocal folds/production of sound
what is articulation?
movements of the vocal tract
what is resonance?
vibratory response to a force
what is prosody?
inflection
rhythm and tonal patterns
What is phonology?
the sound system of a language
what is morphology?
word structure/ meaningful sequences of sound
what is semantics?
meaning/ word knowledge
what is syntax?
order/sentence structure
what is pragmatics?
language used in social situations
in the source filter theory what is the source?
vocal folds
in the source filter theory, what is the filter?
oral, pharyngeal, and nasal tract
when listening to the source, are we listening to frequencies or formants?
frequencies/harmonics
when listening to the filter are we listening to harmonics or formants/resonant harmonics?
formants/resonant harmonics
