Q

What are phonemes? Give examples.

A

Actual speech sounds of language. Letters K and C can both be represented by the phoneme /k/.

Q

Are phonemes the same as the letters of an alphabet? Explain using examples.

A

No because letters K and C can both be represented by the same phoneme /k/. There can also be less syllables than letters in a word.

Q

Do phonemes differ from one language to another? Why might this be so?

A

Yes because each language has their own speech sounds due to their own rules for producing and combining speech sounds.

Q

What is phonotactics? Are phonotactics universal? Explain using examples.

A

Yes, not all languages have the same phonotactic rules. For example, ‘st’ is acceptable in English but ‘zk’ is not. Languages may have different manners of articulation making some sounds easier to produce than others.

Q

Describe how the production of consonants is different from production of vowels?

A

Consonants require a more constricted vowel tract. Vowels are made with an unrestricted tract.

17
Q

Describe three characteristics of stuttering and give examples.

A

Repetition of sounds and syllables. (ex. m, m, m, m)
Sound prolongations (ex. mmmmmmmm)
Broken words (ex. m (pause) )

18
Q

What are the secondary characteristics? Explain using examples.

A

Behaviors like eye blinks, facial grimaces, facial tension, exaggerated movements.

19
Q

Describe some effects of stuttering on the life of a person who stutters.

A

Effect on school and work. Employers view stuttering as a disorder that decreases employability and opportunities for promotion.

20
Q

During what age does stuttering typically begin?

A

Stuttering occurs between ages of 2-5 years old.

21
Q

Describe spontaneous recovery.

A

Growing out of/ stopping stutter without any action taken.

22
Q

What are the swallowing disorders known as?

A

Dysphagia

23
Q

What are the four phases of swallowing? Describe each phase. Explain what could possibly go wrong in each phase to cause an issue.

A

Anticipatory phase is the salivating and preparation to take in food. (ex. mmm, mm!) Disinterest in eating in this phase could be from depression, limited alertness, and sensory and motor impairments.

Oral phase can be broken down into preparatory and transport phases:
Preparatory is the liquid/solid being formed into a bolus by tongue and teeth. (ex. chew chew chew) Transport is the bolus being moved from the front to the back of the mouth; pharyngeal reflex triggered.
A poor lip seal, drooling, poor muscle tone, missing teeth, insufficient saliva lead to inadequate bolus formation and transport.

Pharyngeal phase is when the soft palate moves to prevent bolus from moving into nasal cavity, hyoid bone bringing larynx up and forward, trachea is closed by true and false vocal folds and epiglottis is lowered, cricopharyngeal sphincter opens and food moves through esophagus.
Inability to close nasal port may result in nasal regurgitation. If pharyngeal swallow is not triggered, food may aspirate into airway.

Esophageal phase occurs when the bolus moves in peristaltic contractions from top of esophagus to stomach.
Inadequate peristalsis may leave residue on walls causing infections.

24
Q

What are some causes of pediatric and adult swallowing disorders? Explain using examples

A

Some causes for pediatric swallowing disorders are cerebral palsy, spina bifida, cognitive or developmental disabilities, pervasive developmental disorders, autism, HIV/AIDS, and structural abnormalities.

Causes for adult swallowing disorders are stroke, cancer, MS or ALS, Parkinsonism, spinal cord injury, medications and other non-food substances, dementia, and depression.

25
Q

Define frequency. What is its unit of measurement?

A

Frequency is the vibratory rate of the vocal folds. It can be measured in hertz (hz) or cycles per second (cps).

26
Q

What is fundamental frequency? What is: pitch, habitual pitch and optimal pitch?

A

Fundamental frequency is the central tendency of frequency of vibration of the vocal folds during connected speech.

Pitch is the perception of the frequency of vibration of the vocal folds. Habitual pitch is the average fundamental fluency used by an individual. Optimal pitch is the most efficient level voice is produced.

27
Q

How does one change one’s pitch? Explain the mechanism.

A

Pitch is changed by changing the intensity. This is done by increasing or decreasing the air pressure that pushes vocal folds apart.
