Q

is the process of voice
amplification and modification. The
initial sound ismade loud and amplified
into one true voice by the air chambers
in our body calledresonators. When
the sound enters an air chamber, the
sound reverberates and isconsequently
multiplied before leaving the air
chamber.

19
Q

Can be moved into numerous positions, essential to artuculation

A

Lips

20
Q

which serve as
important surfaces in articulation

A

Teeth

21
Q

Serves as another important surface against which tongue make contact

A

Hard palate?/Dome

22
Q

The small nub on the lower border of soft palate

A

Uvula

23
Q

Most important articulator of speech
as it is responsible for different
sounds depending on how it is
positioned in themouth

A

Tongue

24
Q

2 classes of sound in language

A

Vowels , consonants

25
Q

Three properties of consonants

A

1.Voicing- whether the vocal chords are vibrating or not
2.place of articulation
3.manner of articulation

26
Q

Whether the airsteam is most obstructed

A

Place of articulation

27
Q

The PARTICULAR way the airsteam is obstructed

A

Manner of Articulation

28
Q

When vocal chords are spread apart
without vibration

A

Voiceless

29
Q

When vocal cords are drawn together
with vibration

A

Voiced

30
Q

Sounds formed by bringing the lips together

A

Bilabials

31
Q

Sounds formed by touching bottom lips to upper teeth

A

labiodentals

32
Q

Sounds formed by inserting the tip of the lip between the upper teeth and lower teeth

A

Dental/Interdentals

33
Q

Sounds formed by raising tongue in the alveolar ridge

A

Alveolars

34
Q

Sound formed when the frontal part tongue is raised to a point on the hard palate

A

Palatals

35
Q

Sounds produced with the back of tongue against the velum/soft palate

A

velars

36
Q

it’s sound is form the flow of air through open glottis, can be produced without the help of parts of mouth

A

glottals

37
Q

Speech sounds also vary in the way
the airstream is affected as it flows from
the lungs up and out of the mouth and
nose. It may be blocked or partially
blocked; the vocal cords may vibrate or
not vibrate.

A

manner of articualation

38
Q

Stops are formed when air is built
up in the vocal tract and suddenly
releasedthrough the mouth. These are
produced by some form of ‘stopping’
of theairstream (very briefly) then
letting it go abruptly.

A

Stops/Plosives

39
Q

are articulated by almost
blocking the airstream and having the
airpush through the very narrow
opening.

A

Fricatives

40
Q

In the pronunciation of an affricate,
air is built up by a complete closure of
theoral tract at someplace of
articulation,

A

affricates

41
Q

______ are pronounced
by lowering the velum, thus allowing
thestream of air to pass out through
the nasal cavity instead of the oral
cavity.

A

Nasal consonants

42
Q

In the production of this sound,
there is some obstruction of the
airstream inthe mouth, but not enough
to cause any real constriction or friction.

A

Liquids

43
Q

These sounds are typically produced
with the tongue in motion (gliding) to or
from the position of a vowel and
are sometimes called semi-vowels or
approximants.

A

Glides

44
Q

are produced with a relatively
free flow of
air. They are all typically voiced.

A

Vowels

45
Q

is a sequence of two
sounds, vowel + glide.

A

Dipthongs

46
Q

is essentiallythe
description of the systems and patterns
of speech sounds in a language

A

Phonology

47
Q

The part of grammar that
represents a speaker’s
knowledge of sentences and
their structures is called

A

Syntax
