33
Q

Phonology

A

Sound system of a language and the study of sound system

34
Q

Phonological Patterns/Deviations

A

Accepted grouping of sounds within an oral language (i.e. consonant clusters, strident); what a child needs to produce to be understood

35
Q

Phonotactics:

A

Rules of a language specifying where sounds can occur (in words or syllables) and how sounds can be combined in that language

36
Q

Place of Articulation

A

The major point of contact or near contact of the active and passive articulators when producing a speech sound

37
Q

Prelinguistic

A

Vocalizations prior to the first true words

38
Q

Linguistic

A

The period of language use that occurs once true words are spoken

39
Q

Protowords

A

Consistent sounds patterns produced by young children that are semantically similar but may not be modeled after adult words, child’s first meaningful vocal production

40
Q

Prosody/Suprasegmentals

41
Q

Sibilants

A

Consonants that are produced with mid-to-high frequency turbulence

42
Q

Stridents

A

Fricatives and affricates characterized by considerable turbulence caused by forceful airflow striking the back of the teeth, includes sibilants /f/ and /v/

43
Q

Sonorants

A

Sounds produced with relatively unobstructed vocal tract →vowels, diphthongs, nasals, liquids and glides

44
Q

Speech Perception

A

Identification of the vowels and consonants of a language, largely from auditory cues.

45
Q

Stimulability

A

The ability of a child to produce sound (not pronounced spontaneously) following a model and, if necessary with additional assists i.e. tactile cues, amplifications

46
Q

Stimulable

A

Sound that can be produced after cuing i.e. imitating a model

47
Q

Stimulate/Stimulation

A

To provide assist to help an individual learn to produce a sound/pattern
