Week 1 Flashcards
Markedness
Marked sounds are the later developing sounds. More complex sounds
Naturalness
earlier sounds that are easier to produce.
How do SLP’s apply markedness and naturalness to clinical practice?
Can target the harder sounds first so they can develop the early sounds.
Suitable for older kids.
Coarticulation
Influence sounds have on one another when linked together to make words, phrases, and sentences.
Doesn’t affect the meaning.
Doesn’t create a perceptual change.
Assimilation
When a consonant starts to sound like another consonant in the word.
DOES create a perceptual change.
Phonotactics:
ways in which phonemes are allowed to combine in a particular language.
Morphophonemics
phonological variations within morphemes.
e.g. vowel changes in sleep and slept. consonant changes in knife and knives, loaf and loaves.
Segmentals
vowels and consonants
Suprasegmentals
intonation and stress
Problem with motor planning =
Apraxia
Problem with motor execution =
Dysarthria
Speech Motor Planning
-Each speech sound has a core motor plan containing a number of motor goals.
-Structure Specific
Spatial: place, manner, articulation.
Temporal: time
Speech Motor Programming
Muscle-specific
Muscle tone, movement, velocity, force and range.
Motor Execution
plans and programs are transformed into actual movements
Notation Symbols (x and y)
X = target sounds
Y = actual production
SSD Definition
Any combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, and/or phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments
