A

true (pg.339)

42
Q

nasal emissions results in…. (5 things)

A
  1. weak or omitted consonants due to the lack of adequate air pressure
  2. short utterance length due to need to take frequent breaths to replenish the lost airflow through the nose
  3. dysphonia due to strain in the entire vocal tract in efforts to achieve velopharyngeal closure
  4. compensatory articulation productions: abnormal articulation placement in an attempt to compensate for the lack of air pressure in the oral cavity; usually produced in the pharynx where there is air pressure
  5. obligatory distortions: distortions due to abnormal structure, despite normal articulation placement
    (pg. 339)

A

a. hyper nasality (pg. 339)

44
Q

a. hyper nasality
b. hyponasality

  • most perceptible on nasal consonants
  • can also be noted on vowel sounds
A

b. hypo nasality (pg. 339)

45
Q

true/false: hypernasality does not affect voiceless consonants because resonance is the result of sound vibration

A

true (pg.339)

46
Q

what causes hyper nasality?

A
  • VPI or a fistula, can even be caused by keeping the back of the tongue too high when articulating vowels
    (pg. 339)
47
Q

what causes hypo nasality?

A
  • upper airway obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy or nasal blockage (pg.339)
48
Q

a. hyper nasality
b. hyponasality
c. cul-de sac resonance

-occurs when the sound resonates in the pharynx or nasal cavity but is not released due to obstruction

A

c. cul-de sac resonance (pg.339)

49
Q

what causes cul-de sac resonance?

A

caused by enlarged tonsils, which blocks the entrance to the oral cavity causing pharyngeal cul-de-sca- resonance
(pg.339)

50
Q

what causes mixed nasality?

A
  • occurs when there is hyper nasality and/or nasal air emission on oral consonants and hypo nasality on nasal consonants
