Fronting (atypical)
Backing
Stridency deletion
Deaffrication
Depalatalization
Gliding
Vowelization/vocalization
43
Q

What is assimilation

A

Underlying concept: sounds are influenced by one another causing feature spreading between sounds

One sound will change to more similar to a surrounding phoneme

44
Q

Total assimilation

A

A phoneme is completely repeated in a word in a place where it hadn’t been

/bɛd/ → [bɛb]

45
Q

Partial assimilation

A

Changed to a more similar form with shared features but not identical phoneme

/θeɪnk/ → [geɪnk]

46
Q

Direction of assimilation

A

Progressive - phoneme that causes sound change comes first
/koʊt/ → [koʊk]

Regressive - phoneme that causes sound change follows
/teɪk/ → [keɪk]

47
Q

4 types of assimilation

A

Velar - /teɪk/ → [keɪk]
Alveolar → velar

Labial - /boʊn/ → [boʊm]
nonlabial → labial

Alveolar -/tɑp/ → [tɑt]
Nonalveolar → alveolar

Nasal - /gʌn/ → [nʌn]
Non-nasal → nasal

48
Q

Prevocalic voicing

A

VL → V preceding a vowel

49
Q

Postvocalic devoicing

A

V → VL at end of syllable/word

aka final consonant devoicing

50
Q

Coalescence

A

Two adjacent sounds combine to form one sound (total assimilation)

51
Q

Contiguous vs Noncontiguous assimilation

A

Contiguous - adjacent segment

Noncontiguous - nonadjacent segments (features spread over vowel

52
Q

Q

Name the 4 types of vowel feature changes

A

Vowel backing
Vowel lowering
Centralization
Vowel surrounding

57
Q

The 2 types of vowel complexity changes

A

Dipthong reduction - dipthong → monophthong (more common)

58
Q

Name the 4 types of VOWEL HARMONY (vowel assimilation)

A

Complete vowel harmony - one vowel changes so both vowels in the word are the same

Tenseness harmony - lax → tense

Height vowel harmony - one vowel changes so both vowels in the word are the same height

Consonant-vowel harmony - vowel changes due to features of neighboring consonant

59
Q

What is derhoticization and reduction of rhotic diphthongs

A

Derhoticization - loss of /r/ coloring in consonants and vowels

Reduction of rhotic diphthongs - simplification of rhotic diphthongs
/ɔɚ/ → [a] or [ʌ]

60
Q

What is derivation

A

The process by which sounds are simplified and changed within a word

Process helps to understand the order of change

How we get from underlying representation (target) to surface representation (production)

Always consider changes in PMV → can’t make all the changes in one step → break it down

61
Q

Define constraint and repair

A

In children, constraints are the limitations specific to their phonological system. Involves consonants and vowels and the features associated

Repairs, are the way the child adjusts pronunciation in order to accommodate the limitations

62
Q

4 types of sequence constraints

A
  • Consonant cluster sequences
  • Consonant s separated by vowels
  • Consonant-vowel sequences
  • Vowels separated by consonants
63
Q

Sequence constraint: consonant cluster

Examines word position and segments contained in cluster

A

Repair:
assimilation - makes two elements the same because similar in place of articulation /l,r/ → [w]

reversal - changes the order of elements

child repairs consonant cluster restraint by using assimilation or reversal to make the phonemes more closely related.

example: /plan/ to /lan/ because /l/ and /n/ are more similar than /p/ and /n/

64
Q

Sequence constraint: consonants separated by vowels

Consonants influence each other even though they are separated by a vowel (noncontiguous sequence)

A

Repair: avoid the sequence by making elements more similar in one direction or another

Ex: difficulty producing coronal-labial sequence so repairs by making both phonemes labial

65
Q

Sequence constraint: consonant-vowel

Adjacent consonants and vowels can influence each other (CV place sequence)

A

Two types of interaction:
Place-feature - consonant can only be produced when adjacent to a particular vowel

Vowel height - vowel height can impact consonant production

66
Q

Sequence constraint: vowels separated by consonants

This constraint only influences vowels; vowels can influence each other even if separated by consonants

A

Constraint: two different vowels may not be allowed across consonants

Repair:
Vowel harmony - vowel is repeated
Total reduplication - syllable to repeated

67
Q

syllable constraint: all syllables require an onset

A

Repair:
Insert a consonant
Delete a vowel
Eliminate a boundary

68
Q

Sequence constraints look at what variable?

A

Where the error pattern is occurring in phonetic environment/context

E.g. /r/ is produced SIWI but not in a cluster

69
Q

Syllable constraint: all consonants must be in a syllable

A

Repair:
Delete consonant (cluster reduction)
Insert a vowel (epenthesis)

70
Q

Syllable Constraint: syllable requires onset

A

Repair:

Insert/add consonant

71
Q

Stress Constraint: every foot must be Sw

A

Repair:
Insert a vowel to add an additional syllable

Delete syllable or make weak syllable strong

72
Q

Word length Constraint: only one foot is allowed

A

Repair:
Delete a foot
Make one foot unstressed

73
Q

4 types of basic constraints and processes

A
  • Delete
  • Insert
  • Spread (assimilation)
  • Delink (delete line from existing feature)
74
Q

Define faithfulness and provide examples

A

faithfulness: pronounce words as close to adult production as possible

Deleting segments - less faithful

Substitutions - more faithful

75
Q

How to validate phonological process

A

Errors have an opportunity to occur in at least 4 instances AND errors has to occur in at least 20% of items that could be affected

76
Q

What is Process Density Index (PDI)

A
  • How many processes are occurring per word;
  • measure of intelligibility;
  • the more processes occurring on a word, the higher the PDI → the lower intelligibility

Inverse relationship between PDI and PCC; as PDI increases, PCC decreases

77
Q

How to calculate PDI

A

Calculate PDI:
# of phonological processes in sample divided by
Total # of words in sample

/fɪʃ/ → [bɪt] → 4 processes
/f/ → [b] → initial voicing plus stopping
/ʃ/ → [t] → depalatalization plus stopping

4/1 → PDI score of 4

78
Q

How do PMV apply to Distinctive Feature Changes

A

Always transcribe into IPA first!

Match place, manner or voicing change with the appropriate distinctive feature

“Nose” → “doze”
/noz/ → [doz]
Nasal → stop → manner change

79
Q

What is chronological mismatch

A

Not producing early developing sound and replacing with later developing sound

Producing more complicated phoneme while not producing a simpler phoneme

Affricates are later developing sound

80
Q

What is stress and how are stress and syllables related

A

Duration, intensity and pitch

Stressed syllables: strong
Unstressed syllables: weak

Syllables are grouped together into a higher-order unit called foot.
A foot has one stressed syllable.
1-2 syllable words have one foot

81
Q

What is a prosodic foot

A

Syllable grouping with one primary stress

Sw or wS syllable → one prosodic foot

82
Q

What is primary stress and secondary stress in prosodic hierarchy

A

occurs on multisyllabic words

Primary stress (S) - syllable with greatest level of stress

Secondary stress (s) - feet with stress but not weak

“kangaroo”
/keɪn.gə.rʊo/
swS

“avenue”
/æ.və.nu/
Sws

83
Q

What is prosodic hierarchy in nonlinear phonology and what are the two main tiers

A

nonlinear phonology: Hierarchical organization of words, syllables, segments and features

Two main tiers:
Prosodic - words and word structure
Segmental - segments (tiers) and features

84
Q

What is prosodic hierarchy

A 
Word
Foot
Syllable
Onset-rime
Skeletal
Segmental
85
Q

Assessing co-articulatory effect

A

Speech sample; not single word test

86
Q

Processes that are eliminated early

A

Weak syllable deletion, reduplication, voicing contrast, final consonant deletion

87
Q

Linear phonology vs nonlinear phonology

A

Linear phonology -
focuses on sound level and how sounds are strung together;
focuses on what processes are removed

Nonlinear phonology -
looks at speech in hierarchies; focusing on segment (phonemes) AND suprasegmentals (the features that make up segments);
additive focus

88
Q

What are the 3 nodes in the segmental tier in nonlinear phonology

A

Root - manner of articulation
Laryngeal - +/- voicing
Place - place of articulation

89
