Quiz 1: CH 1 and 2 Flashcards
The ability to produce and perceive the sounds of speech.
Human Interaction
Refers to the totality of motor processes involved in the planning and execution of sequences of overlapping gestures that result in speech.
Articulation
What type of learning is one exhibiting when learning to articulate?
Motor learning
This occurs when one has difficulties with motor production aspects of speech, or inability to produce certain speech sounds.
Articulation disorder
The study of speech emphasizing the description and classification of speech sounds according to their production, transmission, and perceptual features.
Phonetics
This is the categorization or classification of speech sounds.
Articulatory phonetics
This is the transmission of properties of speech such as frequency and intensity.
Acoustic phonetics
This is how we perceive sounds.
Auditory phonetics
These represent physical sound realities. They are the end products of articulatory motor processes.
Speech sound
The smallest linguistic unit that is able when combined with other such units, to establish word meanings and distinguish between them. Is a linguistic concept, not a physical reality. Also defined by its ability to establish a family or group of sounds. Meaningful units of language.
Phoneme
The actual speech sound uttered. A result of physiological processes.. Has acoustic properties. Brackets are used in phonetic transcription.
Phone
What 4 components is the articulatory system composed of?
- Respiratory system
- Larynx (Phonatory system)
- Pharynx (Resonance)
- Articulators (tongue, teeth, jaw, soft palate, hard palate)
What does the breathing apparatus respiratory component) of the articulatory system do?
- Provides airflow to create the sound
2. Sets the vocal folds into vibration
What cannot exist without vibrating air?
Sound
What comprises the respiratory component of the articulatory system?
- Lungs
- Intercostals
- Diaphragm
- Trachea
- Bronchi
What comprises the phonatory system?
Larynx
What does the phonatory system house?
Vocal chords
How do the vocal chords produce sound waves?
They vibrate to produce sound waves.
How are the vocal folds able to change the sound produced?
They can either tighten or lengthen to change the sound produced.
What comprises the resonance system?
Pharynx
What structures create resonance (3)?
- Pharynx
- Oral cavity
- Nasal cavity
What do the pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal passageway modify to produce different sound waves?
Sound waves
Varying what two components of the vocal tract of sound creates different sounds?
- Size
2. Shape
This allows a clinician to look at connective speech, and it ignores production characteristics, while examining phonotactics.
Phonemic inventory
A description of the allowed combinations of phonemes of a particular language.
Phonotactics
This deals with the systems and patterns of phonemes occurring in a given language.
Phonology
List what phonological rules describe (3).
- The phonemes of a language
- The allophones and conditions when they occur
- The allowable word position combinations of the phonemes
This refers to an impaired system of phonemes and phoneme patterns within the context of spoken language. This may be more of a central deficiency at a neurolinguistic level. Is considered phonemic in nature.
Phonological disorder
How do an articulation disorder and phonological disorder differ?
See notes
Articulation disorder characteristics (4)
- Consists of phonetic errors
- A speech sound production problem
- Peripheral motor process disturbance
- Does not impact language
Phonological disorder characteristics (4)
- Consists of phonemic errors
- Disturbances represent impairment of representation or organization of phonemes
- Impact other language areas
- Problems in language-specific function of phonemes
List the social stigma’s associated with distorted speech (4)
- Academics
- Work
- Leisure/athletics
- Social Confidence
What percentage of the population has a communication disorder?
5-10%
Of the percentage of the population that has a communication disorder, what percent is estimated to be articulatory?
50%-80%
What percentage of school-based SLPs serve children with phonological and/or articulation disorders?
97%
