Introduction

Question 1

Three branches of phonetics

Answer 1

Articulatory
Acoustic
Auditory

Question 2

Phonetics

Answer 2

Physical and anatomical aspects of speech sounds

Question 3

Three parts of the vocal tract

Answer 3

Sublaryngeal
Laryngeal
Supralaryngeal

Question 4

Three functional components of speech

Answer 4

Initiation
Phonation
Articulation

Question 5

Initiation

Answer 5

Creates an airstream of aerodynamic energy

Question 6

Phonation

Answer 6

Adds voicing by converting aerodynamic energy into acoustic energy

Question 7

Articulation

Answer 7

Shapes the acoustic energy to produce speech sounds

Question 8

Pulmonic airstream

Answer 8

Initiated in lungs
Exhalation normally 60% - up to 86-90% in speech
Either egressive or ingressive

Question 9

Glottalic airstream

Answer 9

Glottis closed
Movement of larynx altered air pressure
Egressive electives
Ingressive implosives

Question 10

Velarised airstream

Answer 10

Closure at velum or uvula
Only ingressive
Clicks

Question 11

Complete closure

Answer 11

Air completely blocked
Plosives and nasals
Momentary or intermittent
Sound created at constriction

Question 12

Close approximation

Answer 12

Air partially obstructed
Fricatives
Sounds created at constriction

Question 13

Open approximation

Answer 13

Air modified
Approximants
Changes resonance

Question 14

Obstruent

Answer 14

Sound made at place of articulation
Survive the airflow through higher vocal tract
Plosives and fricatives

Question 15

Sonorant

Answer 15

Sounds made by phonation component

Vowels, nasals, approximants

Question 16

Degree of stricture

Answer 16

How narrow the gap is between active and passive articulators
