Q

Phonemic

A

They cannot be reduced to monophthongs. 1. /aI/-bye

  1. /backwards cI/-boy
  2. /au/-bough
40
Q

Non-phonemic

A

Can be reduced to monophthongs.

  1. /eI/-bay
  2. /ou/-bow
41
Q

/aI/-bye

A

Lips are unrounded, making a slight to moderate closing motion during the diphthong.
Velopharynx is normally closed.

42
Q

/backwards c with an I/

A

Produced with coordinated movements of lips and tongue. Lips move from rounded state to unrounded.

43
Q

The diphthong is more likely to occur when the syllable is strongly stressed or the speaking rate is slow. lIps are mid-open and unrounded.

A

The lips and tongue have coordinated movements of rounding and raising, respectively.

44
Q

/eI/

A

The diphthong is more likely to occur when the syllable is strongly stressed or the speaking rate is slow. lIps are mid-open and unrounded.

45
Q

/ou/

A

Lips rounded but with progressive narrowing. Jaw is mid-open and often closes slightly during the diphthong.

46
Q

/ar/

A

Lips start unrounded but may transition to slightly rounded. Jaw starts open and raises to mid-closed.

47
Q

/backwards c with an r/

A

Lips usually stay rounded throughout. Velopharynx is normally closed except in nasal contexts.

48
Q

/Ir/

A

Lips usually start unrounded but may transition to slightly rounded

49
Q

/backwards 3 r/

A

Lips usually start unrounded but may transition to slightly rounded.

50
Q

Diphthongization

A

Occurs when a vowel ordinarily produced as a monophthong is articulated with a diphthong characteristic.

51
Q

Monophthongization

A

A diphthong is produced as a monophthong. It also happens with rapid rates of speech or when syllables are not strongly stressed.

52
Q

Nasalization

A

Isolated vowels and diphthongs are normally resonated orally, but when they are produced in context of nasal segments they are nasalized to some degree. Velopharyngeal opening can occur for a preceding nasal segment, that is the opening is maintained during the vowel or diphthong.. Velopharyngeal opening can occur in vowel that comes before the nasal segment in anticipation for a for the nasal consonant.

53
Q

Reduction

A

Occurs as the rate of speaking increases or as the stress is decreased. Reduction an occur in length (duration) and centralization.

54
Q

Rhotacization and Derhotacization

A

When other vowels become r-colored as in “morning”. A “rhotacized” vowel is one with r-coloring. “Derhotacization” is when a normally r-colored vowel loses all or part of the r-color.

55
Q

Consonant

A

Speech sound produced with a complete or partial obstruction to the airstream and that combines with a vowel to form a syllable.

56
Q

Homotypic

A

Two or more sounds share the same manner of articulation

57
Q

Stop burst

A

The cavity becomes a pressure chamber and when released, it produces a short burst of noise

58
Q

Articulatory Summary for Stops

A

Oral cavity is completely closed at some point for a brief interval of time. Velopharynx is closed. Upon release of a stop closure, a burst of noise is typically heard. The closing and opening movements for stops tend to be quite fast, usually the fastest movements in speech.

59
Q

hhhh

A

There is a frequent allophone of /t/ and /d/ that occurs in words such as “city, latter, butter, writer, patty” and “laddy”.

60
Q

Fricative consonants

A

A fricative is a sound produced with a narrow constriction through which air escapes with continuous noise. A turbulence or frication noise.

61
Q

The intensity of noise varies with place of (blank)

A

articulation.

62
Q

The lingua-alveolar and lingua-palatal fricatives are among the most (blank)

A

hhhh

63
Q

Articulation Summary for Fricatives

A

Articulators form a narrow constriction through which airflow is channeled. Air pressure increases in the chamber behind the constriction. As the air flows through the narrow opening, a continuous frication noise is generated. Produced with a closed velopharynx, because the air is directed through oral constriction

64
Q

Affricate consonants

A

Considered a combination of sounds involving a stop closure followed by a fricative.

65
Q

Articulatory Summary for Affricates

A

Combination of a stop closure and a fricative. The frication noise closely follows the stop portion. Affricates are made with complete closure of the velopharynx to allow air pressure to build up. Affricates can occur in syllable-initial, syllable-final and intervocalic positions.

66
Q

Nasal Consonants

A

A nasal consonant is produced with complete oral closure, but an open velopharynx, so that voicing energy travels through the nose.

67
Q

Articulatory Summary for Nasals

A

Oral tract is completely closed as it for a stop. Velopharyngeal port is open to permit sound energy to radiate through nasal cavity. Even if oral closure is broken, sound may continue to travel through the nose as long as the velopharynx remains open.

68
Q

Liquid consonants

A

A liquid is a vowel-like consonant. Voicing energy passes through like a vocal tract only somewhat more constricted than vowels. The shape and location of the constriction is critical in defining the type of liquid as either lateral or rhotic.

69
Q

Lateral consonants

A

Have a midline closure and lateral opening for sound transmision.

70
Q

Rhotic consonant

A

The /r/ as in “rue, raw, and ray”.

71
Q

Articulatory Summary for Liquids

A

Sound energy is directed through a distinctively shaped oral passage, one that can be held indefinitely for sustained production of the sound. The velopharynx is almost always closed. The oral passageway is narrower than that for vowels but wider than for stops, fricatives, and nasals.

72
Q

Glide consonants

A

hhhh

73
Q

Glides are also known as

A

semivowels.

74
Q

Articulatory Summary for Glides

A

Constricted state is narrower than for a vowel, but wider than for stops and fricatives. Articulators make a gradual gliding motion from the constricted segment to the more open configuration for the following vowel. Velopharynx is generally closed.

75
Q

Homorganic

A

Two or more consonants share the same place of articulation

76
Q

Bilabials

A

b, p, m, w

77
Q

Cognate

A

Pairs of words that share the same place and manner of articulation but differ by the voicing feature.

78

A

/b/ bay /p/ pay

79

Palatal Affricate

A

/d3/ gin /tsquiggly/ chin

86
Q

Velar Stop

A

/g/ gap /k/ cap

87
Q

Aspiration

A

Feature related to voicing for stops. Aspiration is a friction noise, like /h/ generated as air flows through the vocal folds and into the upper cavities.

88
Q

Allographs

A

Letters or combinations of letters that represent a given phoneme
