Lecture 23 Flashcards
What does the word kinematic mean?
Movement
Kinematic information references __________ and deal with _________ and __________ of ________
“Displacement”; positioning, movement of structures
What is displacement?
How much the structure moves?
What does EMG stand for?
Electromyography
What does an EMG give information on?
Neuromuscular control
What are two forces in articular activity?
1) force of contact
2) aerodynamics
Most information on ________ activity is known from imaging
Pharyngeal
What is the pharyngeal activity on low vowels versus high vowels?
Low vowels = lower part of pharynx is constricted
High vowels = lower part of pharynx is wider, possibly even dialated
What is the major role of velopharyngeal activity?
Couple and de a couple the oral/nasal cavities
What is it called when the velum anticipates nasal and starts lowering during the vowel?
Coarticulation
Velar closure isn’t a _______, its a _________
Binary; continuum
The most useful information on tongue activity comes from ______ view _____ _____
Lateral; x-ray films
Which directions can the tongue move?
1) up and down
2) left and right
3) front and back
traditionally, tongue activity is typically described in a ________ framework?
Phonetic
What are the two categories of tongue activity for vowels?
1) height
2) advancement
What are the two categories of tongue activity for constants?
1) location
2) degree of constriction
Which requires more tongue constriction, stops or fricatives?
Stops
What is the quantal theory of speech?
There is not a one-to-one relation between articulator positioning and acoustic output
Large articulatory adjustments can result in:
Small change in acoustic output
Small articulatory adjustments can result in:
Large change in acoustic output
