A branch of linguistics that pertains to the study of speech sounds and sound patterns.

answer

Phonology

question

A branch of linguistics, pertains to the description of the system and patterns of phonemes including the set of sounds used by a language, acceptable combination of these sounds to form words, and allophonic variations typically used in language.

answer

Phonology

question

Characterized by multiple errors in articulation of speech sounds, resulting in mild to severe unintelligibility.

answer

Phonological disorder

The movement of anatomic structures to produce speech sounds. the totality of motor processes involved in the planning and execution of speech

answer

articulation

question

Three things for articulation mechanism to function adequately

answer

speech structures, cavaties, and air flow

question

Emphasized problems resulting from motor problem impacting articulators; treatment focused on "speech correction"

All children use phonological processes as they learn to talk, true or false?

answer

true

question

The use of phonological information, especially the sound structure of one's oral language, in processing written language and oral language

answer

Phonological processing

question

A level that is one step removed from the actual acoustic signal, where speech is represented by strings of phones or basic sounds of a language

answer

Phonetic level

Divides phonological features into parallel tiers of quasi-independent sequences. The theory to account for TONE phenomena in languages in which segmental features interact with varying tones. Features extend through a segment according to this concept.

answer

Autosegmental theory

question

Two levels of sound presentation:

answer

Phonetic level with sounds as central units, and phonemic level represented by phonemes

question

An outgrowth of distinctive feature theory representing a substantial departure from previous phonological theories. Assumes two levels of sound representation (phonological and phonetic). Developed by Chomsky. Represents the applications of principles of generative grammar to phonology. Originally developed to analyze the phonological systems of languages

Juncture - "vocal punctuation"

question

Sonorant..

answer

"Open" vocal tract configuration promoting voicing. American English vowels, glides, nasals, and liquids.

question

Consonantal

answer

Sounds prodcued with a high degree of oral obstruction, such as stops,fricatives, affricates, liquids,and nasals

question

Coronal

answer

Sounds produced with the apical/predorsal portion of the tongue. Marks several consonants (t,d,s,z,n,l)

question

Sounds produced in the frontal region of the oral cavity with the alveolarridge beingthe posterior border; that is, labial, dental, and alveolar consonants
