COMD 5070 Final Questions and Correct
Answers | Latest Update
Two types of coarticulation


 anticipatory

 retentive




Anticipatory (forward) coarticulation


 earlier sounds are influenced by a later sound .

ex: spoon which causes /s/ to lip round.




Retentive (backward) coarticulation


 later sounds are influenced by an earlier one.

ex: no causes /o/ to be nasalized.




Acoustic parameters that may change when a word is stressed:


 fundamental frequency

intensity


duration

relaxed vs clear speech


 We adjust how much articulatory effort we use, depending on the

circumstances. When you're in a circumstance with minimal noise, you may

be able to minimize your energy expenditure by speaking casually.

However, if you're talking to someone with a hearing impairment or are in

a noisy environment and need to be understood, you tend to adj ust the

effort level upward and articulate with much greater force and effort.




hyper- and hypo-articulate speech are different, and clear speech involves longer segment

durations as a result of trying to be really clear, whereas more casual speech involves

articulatory undershoot.




In conclusion, relaxed speech involves articulatory undershoot and clear speech involves longer

segment durations and released stops due to emphasis and trying to be clear when speaking.




Hypernasality (how do perceptual severity relates to physiology)


 Perceptual severities of nasalization relate to physiology, because it is

disordered because it can be a result of linked nasal and oral cavity. The

nasal cavity tends to have a damping effect and can influence the clarity

of a vowel that's being produced. This is because the nasal cavity acts as

an anti resonance, which damps the other formants.




Nasal air Flow (during which sound would it be high or low)

 low for vowels

near zero for pressure consonants. If there is flow during consonants this could indicate

leakage.




Measuring nasalance (what instrument quantifies this)


 nasometer




It relies on acoustic nasometry but may include aerodynamic measures as well. Looks at nasal

airflow over time. It comes with a software which will allow for quantifying measures of

nasalance.




Example: OroNasal Mask System from a company called Glottal Enterprises.




Acoustic Nasometry (how does it work conceptually)


 you have two microphones. One is set above the divider plate, and one

below. This divider plate is set on the front of the person's face so it sits

above the person's upper lip and below the nose. So one of the

microphones picks up energy that comes below the mouth, and the other

picks up energy that comes from the nose. The relative proportions of the

energy from these two microphones can be represented as nasalance. This

is useful in clinical assessments because you can determine if a person falls

within normal limits for nasalance for a given utterance. It can also be used

to provide feedback during therapy so the person can see how they're

managing the oral nasal balance of speech produ ction.




EMG


 used to study electrical activity in muscles.




What innervates muscles?


 motor neurons




What does a motor neuron consist of?


 motor neuron

few or many muscle fibers




What causes contraction of muscles?


 electrical stimulation




Surface Electrodes


 measure larger muscles. Less invasive due to many muscle fibers firing at

the same time. Must have signal amplified to boost signal.
