exam 3 Flashcards
Why is phonation threshold pressure greater with loud sounds than with quiet sounds?
During higher intensity sound the vocal folds adduct with more force, which requires more pressure to begin vibration
Why is it impossible to hum with your nose pitched?
Air is unable to escape and when oral/pharyngeal pressure equals subglottal pressure vocal fold vibration stops
A syllable or word that is stressed will have longer duration that one that is not stressed
true
How is speech rate different from articulation rate?
speech rate includes all events that occur during speech, whereas articulation rate only includes the relevent speech
Please select the best example of contrastive stress
stress that highlights a particular word in a sentence
Why is phonation threshold pressure greater in connected speech compared to sustained phonation?
Connected speech has consonants which require more pressure
A change in fundamental frequency always changes sentence type (e.g., rising frequency for question / stable frequency for statement)?
false
Why is phonation threshold pressure greater with loud sounds than with quiet sounds?
During higher intensity sound the vocal folds adduct with more force, which requires more pressure to begin vibration
Why is phonation threshold pressure greater with higher frequency sounds than lower frequency sounds
When the vocal folds stretch they are under more tension which requires more pressure to begin vibration
A change in fundamental frequency always changes sentence type (e.g., rising frequency for question / stable frequency for statement)?
false
Dysarthria is a speech disorder where people lose strength and mobility in the muscles that control their articulators. A loss of strength means they will not be able to generatehigh intra-oral pressure. Which manner of articulation will this impact the most?
plosives (stops)
Please select the best example of emphatic stress
increased intensity on a few important words in a sentence
Which statement regarding African American English is true
It is a dialect of American English that follows its own predictable rule-governed patterns
Dysarthria is a speech disorder where people lose strength and mobility in the muscles that control their articulators. A loss of mobility means they will not be able tomove their articulators as quickly. Which manner of articulation will this impact the most?
glides
train (spectrogram)
looks like 3 tracks near the bottom
