Phonetics Right Ans - the study of the production and perception of speech
sounds
Clinical phonetics Right Ans - branch of phonetics; focuses on the
transcription of speech sounds
Articulatory phonetics Right Ans - focuses on how speech sounds are
formed in the mouth
Acoustic phonetics Right Ans - focuses on the auditory properties of speech
sounds (perception & production)
Why is it important to study clinical phonetics? Right Ans - every
competent SLP: can transcribe sounds accurately & quickly by hand; knows
how sounds are produced correctly; knows how phonological awareness
relates to speech sound disorders, literacy deficits, and foreign accents; this
knowledge and skill is needed when working with many clients
How does the SLP transcribe speech? Right Ans - International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA)
International Phonetic Alphabet Right Ans - Symbols that represent the
sounds of words (not letters)
English is comprised of group of sounds and symbols Right Ans - 24
consonants; 14 vowels; 3 dipthongs
Vowel Right Ans - a sound produced without major obstruction in the vocal
tracts (a, e, i, o, u)
Dipthong Right Ans - a sequence of two vowels; one glides into the next
Consonant Right Ans - Sound Produced With Obstruction Somewhere
Along The Vocal Tract
Central vowels Right Ans -
, dialect Right Ans - variation of a language (ex. English); speaker may be
described as having an "accent"
phonology Right Ans - branch of linguistics; the systematic organization of
speech sounds in the production of language
phonology involves rules Right Ans - The study of the rules governing the
order in which sounds can occur in a language, and the number of sounds it
allows
phonotactics Right Ans - the combinations of sounds that are permitted in
a language; ex. English vowels /trit/ but not /rtit/
canonical form Right Ans - the number of consonants and vowels that can
occur in a word; ex. English allows CCCVC (strip) but not CVCCCCC or
CVVVVCCCCV
English allows these combinations and numbers of sounds in a word; Ex. V (a),
VC (up), VCC (act), CV (hi)
phoneme Right Ans - represents a speech sound (/p/, /b/, /m/); by itself,
has no meaning; must be part of a word to have meaning (pat vs. bat)
morpheme Right Ans - smallest meaningful unit of language; can be
suffixes, prefixes, roots, and whole words; every word must contain at least
one morpheme
lexical morpheme Right Ans - single words (nouns, verbs, adjectives);
unmarked for person, number, tense, possession; often called "free"
morphemes
grammatical/inflectional morpheme Right Ans - attached to a lexical
morpheme (present progressive -ing, past tense -ed, possessive -s, plural -s);
changes the meaning of the lexical morpheme; "bound" morphemes; must be
attached to a lexical morpheme
