CLA * Flashcards
PHONOLOGY
Babbling
6-9 MONTHS
Narrows to only the sounds needed in that language.
Variation or consonants and vowels.
Moves mouth more - pitch can change.
Huge ‘explosion’ sounds produced
(e.g. da da da)
PHONOLOGY
Consonant Clusters
Groups of consonants (e.g. ‘str’ ‘gl’) that demand more muscular control than single consonants or vowels.
Tend to appear later in baby’s utterances.
PHONOLOGY
Cooing
4-7 MONTHS
Attempt to communicate.
Longer vowel sounds - open airflow - cant restrict.
(e.g. ooh)
PHONOLOGY
Phonemic Contraction
Sounds are reduced, only make sounds of their own language.
After 9 months
PHONOLOGY
Phonemic Expansion
Amount of sounds/vowels increases muscular control develops.
Produce sounds from all different languages.
6-9 months
PHONOLOGY
Protowords
Cluster of sounds.
Baby’s attempt to articulate specific words (9-12 months)
PHONOLOGY
Reduplicated Monosyllabic
Repetition of a sound/syllable.
Feature of ‘baby talk’
e.g. choo-choo , moo-moo , ba 👹
PHONOLOGY
Vegetative State
Few ways of communicating.
Crying expresses their needs
PHONOLOGY
Phoneme
Unit of sound > 44 sounds
100 muscles are involved in speaking
PHONOLOGY
Assimilation
Borrowing/reduplicating a sound that’s in the word and replacing it.
e.g. ‘garden’ > ‘darden’
PHONOLOGY
Phonemic Deletion
Omit the sound
e.g. /pl/ > /p/
play > pay
PHONOLOGY
Phonemic Substitution
Replace the difficult sound with an easier one.
e.g. /dat/ , /dere/ /dis/
PHONOLOGY
Consonant
Most master all consonants at age 7
PHONOLOGY
Vowel
Come first in a child’s language development.
Vowels tend to be easier to master than consonants.
PHONOLOGY
Monophthong
Shows that a vowel is spoken with exactly one tone and one mouth position.
e.g. when you say “teeth”, then while you are creating the sound of the “ee”, nothing changes for that sound
PHONOLOGY
Diphthong
A combination of two adjacent vowel sounds within the same syllable.
The tongue moves during the pronunciation of the vowel
/aɪ/ , /eɪ/ , /əʊ/ ,/aʊ/ ,/eə/ ,/ɪə/ ,/ɔɪ/, /ʊə/.
