Phonology Acoustics Flashcards
Phonetics
study of the production of sounds.(how sounds are made)
example: sing produced with a lateral lisp
Phonology
the study of a sound system of a language and addresses the question of how sounds are used rather than how sounds are made.
example: “sing” produced as “thing”
Allophones
Sounds that do not function to contrast meaning
Vowels are produced with a relatively ____________ tract
open
There are two subtypes of vowels
simple vowels and diphthongs.
Diphthongs
vowels that change sound quality within the same syllable
Formant Frequencies
- F1 – height
* F2- advancement
Skills infants may be born with:
Perceptual Constancy
segmentation
VOT
time between the release of the stop & the beginning of vocal fold vibration.
Phonological Awareness
Is the ability to i.d. discrete linguistic units that comprise the speech signal
Phonological awareness occurs on a continuum
shallow to deep
Awareness of Phonemes
ability to sequentially isolate all the individual sounds in a syllable or word
Disordered or Deviant
phonological patterns that are different from the types of patterns observed in normal phonological development at various ages.
Awareness of Syllables
Patterns of Phonological Awareness at Syllable Level
Delayed
persistence of normal mispronunciations or phonological processes
beyond the ages that the typical child would be using them. Phonological system is similar to that of a normal younger child
Characteristics of the Infant
- -Vocal Tract (VT) shorter
- Pharyngeal cavity is shorter
- Tongue mass is more forward in oral cavity
- Oropharyngeal channel has a gradual bend not a rght angle
- Larynx is high
- Close approximation of velopharynx & epiglottis
- Relative position of articulators is different
- Neuromotor control is different
Early Stages of Production Reflexive vocalizations Ollers Stages
Phonation 0-1 month Goo-Cooing 2-3 months Expansion – 4-6 months Canonical Babbling – 7-10 months Variegated Babbling – 9 -12 months Transitional Period – 9-18 months
Stages of Prelinguistic & Phonological Development:
I. Birth – 1 y/o
Prelinguistic vocalization & perception
Stages of Prelinguistic & Phonological Development:
II. 1-1.6 y/o
Phonology of first 50 words (transitions period)
Stages of Prelinguistic & Phonological Development:
III. 1.6 – 4.0
Phonology of simple morphemes
