Q

A

26
Q

What are cognate pairs?

A

Sounds that are identical in every way except voicing

27
Q

Describe nasal sounds

A

Produced by keeping the velopharyngeal port open- allows for sound produced by the vibrating VF to pass through the nasal cavity

28
Q

Describe fricative sounds

A

Sounds that have a “hissing” quality that results fromm the continuous forcing of air through a narrow constriction

29
Q

Describe affricates

A

Have both a stop and a fricative component

30
Q

Describe stops

A

produced by complete constriction or closure of the vocal tract at some point, so the airflow is completely stopped

31
Q

Describe glides

A

produced by a quick transition of the articulators as the move from a partially constricted state to a more open state for the vowels that follow them

32
Q

Describe liquids

A

produced with the least oral cavity restriction of all the consonants

33
Q

4 parameters used to characterize vowels

A

Lip position, tense/lax, tongue height, tongue forwardness

34
Q

Describe a diphthong

A

A sound produced as a slow gliding movement from one vowel (the onglide) to the adjacent vowel (the offglide)

35
Q

The change a sound goes through in connected speech

A

Coarticulation

36
Q

Suprasegmentals are features of what system?

A

Prosody

37
Q

What is the purpose of suprasegmentals?

A

add meaning, variety, and color to running speech

38
Q

Describe characteristics of a stressed syllable

A

loud, longer, higher in pitch, greater muscular effort

39
Q

The speed of speech

A

rate

40
Q

The frequency with which the VF vibrate- determined by mass, tension, and elasticity of the VF

A

pitch

41
Q

sound pressure

A

intensity

42
Q

What is the sensory correlate of intensity

A

loudness

43
Q

The study of sound as a physical phenomenon

A

Acoustics

44
Q

Movements of particles in a medium containing expansions and contractions of molecules

A

Sound waves

45
Q

A phase of sound in which the vibratory movements of an object increase the density of air molecules because the molecules are condensed; the opposite of rarefacction

A

compression

46
Q

the thinning of air molecules when the vibrating object returns to equilibrium; opposite of compression

A

rarefaction

47
Q

The back and forth movement of particles when the movement is symmetrical and periodic

A

Simple harmonic motion

48
Q

A wave with horizontal and vertical symmetry because it contains one peak, or crest, and one valley, or trough. Contains a single frequency that is the result of a simple harmonic motion

A

sinusoidal motion

49
Q

Waves that do not repeat themselves at regular intervals

A

aperiodic waves

50
Q

sound waves that repeat themselves at regular intervals and are periodic

A

periodic wave

51
Q

The magnitude and direction of displacement; correlates to loudness

A

amplitude

52
Q

the amount of mass per unit

A

density

53
Q

refers to the back and forth movement of air molecules because of a vibrating object

A

Oscillation

54
Q

change in position

A

displacement

55
Q

the lowest frequency of a periodic wave

A

fundamental frequency

56
Q

the amount of force per unit area

A

pressure

57
Q

What is natural frequency?

A

A frequency with which a source of sound vibrates naturally and that is affected by the mas and stiffness of the vibrating body

58
Q

An indication of the interval between 2 frequencies

A

octave

59
Q

The lowest frequency of a periodic wave is known as…

A

Fundamental frequency or first harmonic
