Week 6: Nonlinear Phonology/Feature Geometry Flashcards
root node:
manner of production:
sonorant
consonantal
continuant
nasal
lateral
sonorant
pressure above the larynx allows vocal folds to vibrate continuously without rise in pressure about larynx; open vocal tract
vowels, glides, liquids, and nasals
consonantal
narrow constriction in oral and/or pharyngeal cavities that impedes air flow
ex. plosive phonemes
continuant
sound produced with an air continuing to move through the oral cavity
ex. /s/ and /z/
nasal
sound waves resonate through oral and nasal cavities
lateral
airflow is blocked in oral cavity and air directed over one side of the tongue
laryngeal node
voicing; present or absent
spread glottis
sound produced with vocal folds spread widely leading to low-amplitude noise at the glottis
ex. voiceless aspirated stops, voiceless fricatives
constricted glottis
sounds produced with vocal folds pulled closely together and regular period vibration is not possible
ex. glottal sound
place node
place of articulation:
labial, coronal, anterior, distributed, groove
+labial
+round
+labiodental
involvement of one or both lips
lip protrusion
one lip involved + dental
coronal
tongue tip of blade is raised
ex. alveolars, interdentals, dentals, palatals
coronal: anterior
coronal sound made at alveolar ridge or farther forward
coronal: distributed
coronal sounds made with wide areas of contact between tongue tip/blade and palate
coronal: grooved
coronal sounds made with grooved tongue
