syn meaning

para meaning
apart from
____ para/syn analysis concerns the relation between the target of analysis and its alternatives
paradigmatic
what category of research do most phonetics study fall under?
quantitative
_____syn/para analysis concerns the relation between the target of the analysis and the surrounding context
syntagmatic
a syntagmatic analysis always leads to a different conclusion than a paradigmatic analysis t/f
false
______ (adequacy) concerns whether the analysis provides significant generalizations of the observed data
descriptive adequacy
____(adequacy) concerns whether the analysis presents all data points accurately
observational adequacy
_____ (adequacy) concerns whether the analysis provides a principled basis for the choice between competing descriptions and has predictive power
explanatory adequacy
3 levels of adequacy in order
- observational 2. descriptive 3. explanatory
as you go down the list, the level of adequacy in analysis is
higher
most desirable level of adequacy
ideally all, but the higher level, number 3 because of the list is what is higher. explanatory.
what kind of adequacy should your analysis of speech data aim to achieve?
all of the above. all of the levels of adequecy.
which of the following is NOT a general acoustic correlate of a stressed syllable in english?
higher pitch, longer duration, greater intensity, breathier voice
breathier voice is BOT a general acoustic correlate of a stressed syllable in english
post-focuswords show a flatter pitch contour because they lost their
pitch accents
which of the following has the best segmentability when followed by a vowel? /s/ /w/ /v/ or /r/
/s/ sibilants are easier to detect. don’t say “fff” to quiet someone you say “shhh”
pitch accents are a intrinsic/extrinsic property and are sometimes not realized on the pitch contour.
pitch accents are a !!intrinsic!! property.
which of the following is the best for investigating both pitch and duration?
oral stops, nasal stops, sibilants (s/sh) approximants
nasal stops are the best for investigating both pitch and duration. SONORANT sounds, are best for investigating pitch and duration
when the experiment has three independent variables, each of which has two levels the factorial design will create six conditions to test. t/f/
false. there could be more than one level. 2 levels 1 has 2 variables the other has 3 (2X3= 6) 3 levels, each with 2 variables (222)= eight
factorial design
test every possible combination of given levels.
you can avoid the issue of “variation of utterances” if you collect speech data from the same speaker. t/f/
false
keeping the same dynamic range of the spectrogram through the speech alaysis helps you achieve (what type of adequacy):
observational adequacy
if the obesrvation of your own data is not consistent with what was argued in the previous studies, your measurements must have flaws t/f
false
to achieve obesrvational adequacy, you need to include as many digits as possible after the decimal point in your presentation of data. t/f/
false. 2 digits.
in the PRODUCtion experiment, which of the following was/were dependent variables?
acoustic, you produces sounds pitch,duration,intensity
in the PRODUCTion experiment, which of the following was/were independent variables?
position of sentence stress
in the PERCEPTion experiment which of the following was/wer, dependent variables?
judgement on the position of sentence stress. what they hear.
in the PERCEPTion experiment which of the following was/were independent variables?
acousitic sounds pitch manipulation duration manipulation intensity manipulation.
independent variables
effect the outcome of the experiment. what we’re looking for. crucial aspect of experimental design. explanatory variables. those we expect to influence the measurement of dependent variables. what we want to identify the presece/absence or the magnitude of such incluense
dependent variables
the levels and variables, the sounds pitch,duration intensity. perception=response/judgement of the participants. what we need to observe and measure response variables.
