Phonetics Chap 1
Term | Definition | description |
---|---|---|
What are the branches of phonetics | historical, acoustic, physiological, perceptual, experimental, clinical | |
historical phonetics | the study of sound changes in words | over time word pronunciation changes |
physiological phonetics | study of the function of the speech organs during the process of speaking | understand the process of speech production via the role of the individual speech organs like lips, tongue and teeth |
acoustic phonetics | focus on the differences in frequency, intensity and duration of consonants and vowels | allows listeners to perceive how sounds, syllables, and words differ from one another |
perceptual phonetics | study of a listener's psychoacoustic response (perception) of speech sounds in terms of loudness, pitch, perceived length, and quality | |
experimental phonetics | the laboratory study of physiological acoustic and perceptual phonetics | lab equipment is used to measure attributes of the speech organs during speech production as well as to measure the acoustic characteristics of speech |
clinical phonetics | the study and transcription of aberrant speech behaviors (those that vary from what is considered to be normal speech) | disordered speech may be found in adults and children who have experienced a hearing impairment, fluency disorder, head trauma, stroke, or phonological (speech sound) disorder |
phonology | the systematic organization of speech sounds in the production of language | |
what is the difference between phonetics and phonology | phonetics:speech sounds, acoustic & perceptual characteristics produced by speech organs not how they're used in language. Phonology:linguistic (phonological) rules to specify how speech sounds are organized & combined to form syllables, words & sentences | |
