chapter 1 Flashcards
speech science
study of articulation and physiology of speech production, the acoustic characteristics of speech and the process by which listeners perceive speech
perceptual phonetics
study of characteristics of sounds of a language to discriminate the sounds from one another
primarily focused on the IPA
physiological phonetcis
study of physical structures how they interact to produce the sounds of a language
acoustics
study of sound
acoustics phonetics
study of the measurable acoustic or physical properties of sound
sound
disturbance of the particles of a medium taking the form of vibratory or oscillatory movement
disturbance
movement of the particles of a medium by any means
medium
defined as any substance or environment through which a force can be transmitted such as gas, solid, or liquid
vibratory
oscillatory
means back or forth movement
properties a medium that are necessary for sound to be transmitted
inertia
elasticity
inertia
if at rest, stay at rest
if in motion, stay in motion
elasticity
when disturbed to resume its original shape, size, and state
degree of elasticity
how much the matter can be disturbed
strength of elasticity
amount of resistance the matter has to movement
simple harmonic motion
(SHM)
air particle must be set into motion (vibration) by force
particles change velocity
velocity
defined as speech in a certain direction
maximum displacement
point of greatest distance from the position of rest
maximum acceleration
picking up speed moving in the opposite direction
maximum velocity
crosses point of rest
