Chapter 1- Sound Flashcards
Define phonetics
the study of production and perception of speech sounds; includes speech sounds that are transcribed/ written
What is IPA ?
INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET- represents the sounds of words not the spelling
What is a benefit from IPA?
permits consistency among professional and transcription
Define phonology
systematic organization of speech sounds in the production of language; the study of the linguistic rules that specify the manner in which phonemes are organized and combined into syllables, words, and sentences
What is the difference b/w phonetics and phonology
Phonetics- the study of SPEECH SOUNDS; the acoustic and perceptual characteristics; how they are produced by the speech organ
Phonology- focuses on the linguistic rules used to specify the manner in which speech sounds are organized and combined into meaningful units; aka looking at the syllables, words, sentence formation
Name the major rule systems
syntactic/morphological rules (for grammar), semantic rules (for utterance meaning), pragmatic rules (for language use)
State the reasons for variation in phonetic transcription practice
Due to personal habit/ method learned
How strictly the IPA is followed
And which symbols are adopted for transcribing disordered speech.
State the benefits of using a Unicode font for phonetic transcription.
Unicode font is useful when transcribing speech by computer.
Unicode fonts provide a universal character set of over 137,000 characters (mapped to a unique alphanumeric code point), including the IPA.
Unicode fonts can be used on multiple platforms including Macintosh, Windows, and Linux.
Define dialect and give examples
variation of speech or language based on geographical area, native language background, and social or ethnic group membership. Dialect involves not only pronunciation of words but also grammar (syntax) and vocabulary usage
ex; AAVE, Mexcian American English
