Q

Phonological Process - assimilation

nasal

A

non-nasal –> nasal

33
Q

Phonological Process - assimilation

prevocalic voicing

A

voiceless –> voiced before vowel

34
Q

Phonological Process - assimilation

final consonant/postvocalic devoicing

A

voiced –> voiceless after vowel

35
Q

Phonological Process - assimilation

coalescence

A

features from 2 adjacent sounds combine into 1 sound

36
Q

Phonological Process - atypical cluster reduction

A

deletion of sound usually retained

/pleɪ/ –> [leɪ]

/peɪ/ is the typical reduction because /l/ is a later developing sound

/trʌk –> [rʌk] is atypical because /r/ is later developing
/trʌk –> [tʌk] is typical reduction

37
Q

Phonological Process - initial consonant reduction (atypical)

A

initial consonant (SIWI) reduction is atypical

final consonant (SFWF) deletion is common

38
Q

Phonological Process - medial consonant reduction (atypical)

A

deletion of intervocalic consonant

/biɾəl/ –> [bioʊ/

more common to form a substitution in medial not delete phoneme entirely

39
Q

Phonological Processes - Apicalization (atypical)

A

a labial is replaced by an apical (tongue tip) consonant

/boʊ/ –> [doʊ]

40
Q

Phonological Processes - backing of stops (atypical)

A

replace anterior stop with posterior stop

/toʊ/ –> [koʊ]

fronting is common; backing is not
backing is PLACE change usually velar

41
Q

Phonological Processes - backing of fricative (atypical)

A

replace anterior fricative /f v θ ð s z/ with posterior fricative /ʃ, ʒ/

more common children bring articulation forward and take an affricate and turn it into a fricative

less common to form palatal from an alveolar sound like alveolar fricative /s/ becomes palatal fricative /ʃ/

42
Q

Phonological Processes - glottal replacement (atypical)

A

replace medial or final (usually stop consonant) with glottal stop

stopping is maintained but brought so far back to glottal

43
Q

Phonological Processes - medial consonant substituions (atypical)

A

replace intervocalic consonant with one or more phonemes

/bʌɾɚ/ –> [bʌjə]

44
Q

Phonological Processes - denasalization (atypical)

A

nasal replaced with non-nasal

manner change

45
Q

Phonological Processes - devoicing of stops (atypical)

A

replaced voiced stop /b d g/ with voiceless /p t k/ (usually stop) in INITIAL position (SIWI)

devoicing FINAL consonant stop is typical
devoicing INITIAL stop is atypical

46
Q

Phonological Processes - fricatives replacing stops (atypical)

A

stop –> fricative

early developing stop is replaced by later developing fricative

47
Q

Phonological Processes - stops replaced glides (atypical)

A

glide –> stop (atypical)

Stop —> glide (typical)

48
Q

Phonological Processes - Metathesis (atypical)

A

reversal of position of 2 sounds - may or may not be adjacent

“most’ –> /moʊst/ –> [moʊts]

common idiosyncratic process

49
Q

Phonological Processes - Migration (atypical)

A

movement of sound from one position in a word to another

/soʊp/ –> [poʊs]

50
Q

Phonological Processes - stops replacing liquids (atypical)

A

liquids /l r/ –> stop

51
Q

Phonological Processes - vowel backing (feature change)

A

front vowels replaced with back (posterior) vowels

/æ/ –> [ɑ]

52
Q

Phonological Processes - vowel lowering (feature change)

A

high vowel replaced with low vowel

/ɪ/ –> [ɛ]

53
Q

Phonological Processes - vowel centralization (feature change)

A

vowel replaced with more central vowel

/e/ –> [ʌ]

54
Q

Phonological Processes - vowel surrounding (feature change)

A

vowel that is normally rounded /u ʊ o ɔ/is produced without rounding

55
Q

Phonological Processes - dipthongization (complexity change)

A

monothong produced as dipthong

56
Q

Phonological Processes - dipthong reduction (complexity change)

A

dipthong reduced to monothong

57
Q

Phonological Processes - complete vowel harmony

A

one vowel is changed so that both vowels in the word are the same

vowel harmony = vowel assimilation

58
Q

Phonological Processes - tenseness harmony

A

lax vowels becomes tense when there is another tense vowel in the same word

vowel harmony = vowel assimilation

59
Q

Phonological Processes - height vowel harmony

A

when vowel is replaced with a vowel that is closer in production to the height of another vowel in the word

both vowels are high or both vowels are ow or both vowels are centralized

vowel harmony = vowel assimilation

60
Q

Phonological Processes - consonant-vowel harmony

A

vowel change due to the neighboring consonant

example: vowel becomes more forward if adjacent consonant is more forward

vowel harmony = vowel assimilation

61
Q

Phonological Processes - Derhoticization

A

loss of /r/ coloring in consonants and vowels

/ɝ ɚ/ –> [ə]

62
Q

Phonological Processes - Reduction of rhotic dipthongs

A

simplification of rhotic dipthongs

Rhotic Dipthongs:
ɔɚ
ɑɚ
ɛɚ
uɚ
63
Q

order of acquisition of sounds

A
  1. nasals
  2. stops
  3. glides
  4. fricatives
  5. liquids
  6. affricates
