Acoustics and Phonetics Flashcards
Diacritical Marks
Sinusoidal Wave
Coarticulation
the production of a sound is affected by the sound that immediately precedes and follows it. This can result in allophonic variations of the same sound
F1
Tongue Height
Higher F1 frequencies are associated with a lower
tongue position, while lower F1 frequencies are
associated with a higher tongue position
F2
Tongue Position
Higher F2 frequencies are
related to a more forward tongue position, and lower
F2 frequencies to a more back tongue position
Broad Transcription
represents only the most salient features of the pronunciation of a word, using a set of symbols (phonemes)
Narrow Transcription
detailed method of phonetic transcription that captures as much detail as possible about the pronunciation of a word, using a larger set of symbols than broad
Phonetic
relates to the concrete
production of specific sounds by
speakers. It deals with the actual
pronunciation and acoustic
properties of sounds
Phonetics
the study of speech
sounds in terms of their physical,
physiological, and acoustic
properties.
scientific analysis of sound
production and perception
Phonemic
describes the
abstract system of sounds in a
language, particularly the
idealized representation of
sounds. It deals with the
underlying sound patterns and
contrasts within a language
Phonology
the study of the
abstract sound patterns and
rules within a particular
language
Onset
the starting
sound of a syllable. It’s the
consonant or group of
consonants at the beginning
Nucleus
main, central
part of the syllable, usually a
vowel or diphthong. It’s the
heart of the syllable and carries
the core sound
Coda
part of a syllable
that follows the nucleus. It
usually consists of one or more
consonants and completes the
syllable
Rhyme
includes the nucleus
and the coda (the sound or
sounds that come after the
nucleus). It’s everything in the
syllable except the onset
