First Quiz Friday August 30th 2024
What is phonetics? | The study and production of speech sounds. Spelling doesn't indicate sound. EX: C= cow, circle, |
What is IPA | IPA is the International Phonetic Alphabet. |
What are the 4 tiers to linguistic complexity? | Isolation, word, sentence, and conversation. |
Give me an example of isolation in linguistic complecity. | /k/ is the c in cow. and is the easiest to transcribe. |
Give me an example of word in linguistic complexity. | Cow. |
Give me an example of sentence in linguistic complexity. | I see a cow. |
Give me an example of conversation in linguistic complexity. | Did you see that cow? It has a spot shaped like a circle. |
What is response complexity? | One specific sound like c in cat, p in sleep or s in sink. Or it can be multiple sounds in each word like the c and t in cat. Multiple sound in multiple positions like truck. tr and k. |
What is system complexity? | Refers to the system you are using to assess and manage speech sound production. |
What is 2-way scoring? | The easiest way to score. There is correct and incorrect options. It is socially acceptable versus unacceptable. |
Which way of scoring is used in screenings or evaluations? | 2-way scoring. |
What is 5-way scoring? | Describes speech sound production as correct or with reference to the kind of error that is being made. |
What are the 5-way scoring types? | Correction, deletion, substitution, distortion, and addition. All are incorrect, except for correction. |
What is deletion in 5-way scoring? | A sound is deleted altogether. EX: when a child says up instead of cup. |
What is substitution in 5-way scoring? | One sound is replaced by another. EX: Cow is pronounced as tow. |
What is distortion in 5-way scoring? | One sound is produced that is not quite correct. EX: A child saying buck instead of truck. |
What is addition in 5-way scoring? | When a sound is added to the speech production of a word. EX: When a child says buh-loo instead of blue. |
What is transcription? | To describe what the child says rather than score or judge. |
Does transcription require the use of IPA? | Yes. |
What is broad transcription? | Very general. |
What is narrow transcription? | More details and includes diacritics. |
Chapter 2 | Chapter 2 |
How many languages are there? | Over 7,000. |
What is language? | A socially shared code that uses arbitrary symbols and rule governed combinations of symbols to represent ideas, thoughts, and feelings. |
How is language transmitted? | Through written, manual, signed and oral transmission. |
What is grammar? | Rules that govern how units of language can be combined to create meaningful and novel utterances. |
What is speech? | Physical behavior that encompasses patterns of movement of the speech structures and patterns of acoustic vibration that these movements generate. |
What are articulatory features? | Actions of the speech musculature. |
What are acoustic features? | Description of the sound heard. |
What is sign language? | Manual comunication. |
What is lipreading? | The articulatory and acoustic features of speech can be decoupled or interpreted separately from one another. |
What is a speech community? | A group of people who live in the same area and use the same language. EX: Look at variations chart in notebook. |
What is dialect? | The usage patterns within a language. It is easier to identify in speech than in writing. |
What are regional dialects? | Characteristics of people who live in a geographic area. |
What leads to the recognition of distinct languages? | Pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar structure variatability. |
Are dialects considered an error? | No, they neither right or wrong. EX: bag versus beg or pull versus pool. |
What is idiolect? | Idiolect is an individuals unique form of spoken language. |
What is idiolect influenced by? | Regional background, cultural background, social class, and individual experiences. |
What is a morpheme? | The smallest element of a language that carries a semantic interpretation or word meaning. EX: ing, ed, s, walk, dog. |
What is morphology? | The study of morphemes. |
What is morphemic transcription? | Involves transcription of morphemic content of an utterance. |
What are morphemes valuable for? | Language analysis and Brown's morphemes (normal speech and language development). |
What are free morphemes? | They carry a specific meaning when they appear alone. EX: bright, rest, teach, happy. |
What are bound morphemes? | Must be attached to another morpheme to carry a meaning. EX: un-happy. |
What are the three most common bound morphemes? | Affix (attached to a free morpheme), suffix and prefix. |
What are derivational affixes? | change the word class or meaning of a free morpheme. EX: un-happy. |
What are inflectional affixes? | Don't change the meaning or word class of a free morpheme (tenses). EX: fasting changes to fasted. |
What is lexicon? | Meaning you acquire when you learn a language. Nuances of vocabulary and language. EX: I drew this picture. |
What are phones? | Speech sound segments. They can be phonemes or allophones. EX: The clicking in Xhosa. |
What are phenomes? | Basic sound segments that can signal a distinct difference in meaning. EX: cat, bat, rat. |
Give examples of how phonemes can also appear. | As minimal pairs. Morphemes that differ in only one segment. EX: cap and cat. |
What are allophones? | Phonemes can have slightly different phones that can be used in their place without changing the meaning. EX: mop: whether or not you use the popping noise when you say it or not. |
What is morphemic transcription? | Identification of meaningful units. EX: cats-cat+s |
What is phonemic transcription? | Identification of sound segments that have linguistic significance in the speaker's language. Step 2. |
What is phonetic transcription? | Identification of allophonic variations in a speaker's pattern of sounds. |
What is orthography? | Conventional written spelling. EX: color versus colour. |
What is an allograph? | Different letters or letter combinations that represent the same phenome. EX: anxious and sheep. |
Tell me about the IPA. | It originally came out in the 1800's and has over 100 symbols. Includes vowels, diatrics, and consonants. |
What are diacritic marks? | Special marks that indicate modification of a sound. |
What is phonology? | The study of systematic organization of sounds in languages . Rules for sounds. |
What is articulatory phonetics? | Study of how phonemes are formed by the movement of speech structures. |
What is acoustic phonetics? | Study of physical properties of sounds as they are transmitted and encoded. |
What is a syllable? | Brings together a collection of sounds to units. |
How can the structure of a syllable be described? | With C's (consonants) and V's (vowels). They are larger than a phenome but not a complete word. |
Open syllable | SEE is CV structure. |
Closed syllable | SEAT is CVC structure. |
What is a syllable made of? | An onset, nucleus and coda. |
What is an onset syllable? | Consonant. |
What is a coda of a syllable? | Consonant. |
What is the nucleus of a syllable? | The middle of a syllable. |

What are disyllabic syllables? | Two syllables. EX: butter. |
What are polysyllabic syllables? | Three or more syllables. EX: butterfly. |
What is broad transcription? | Using IPA to indicate how speech is produced. |
What is narrow transcription? | More detail and the use of smaller symbols to show how a sound is produced. |
