Practice 38

Practice - Transcribe the following words – syllabic nasals and liquids


Suprasegmentals (prosody)

pitch loudness length

Phonetics

Slide 39


Pitch to change pitch, change tension of vocal folds (raise and lower Adam’s apple) Tone - meaningful differences signaled by different pitches Intonation - pitch changes in spoken utterances not related to differences in word meaning (but that do contain information)

Phonetics

Slide 40


Tone register tones - level tones (Mpi tones, Hmong tones) contour tones - moving pitch on a word that signals different meanings of words (Chinese tones, Cantonese tones)

Phonetics

Slide 41


Intonation “Don’t use that tone with me, young lady/man!” Terminal contour Nonterminal contour High rising terminal contours - One time, at band camp Downdrift

Phonetics

Slide 42


Geminate consonants in ItalianVowel length in Danish

Length

Phonetics

Slide 43


More prominence - realized by length, pitch and/or loudness Always relative Primary and secondaryCan be meaningful in English

produce vs. produce - insult

Stress

Phonetics

Slide 44


Speech Production Coarticulation - more than one articulator is active - please Articulatory processes - adjustments made during normal speech (not laziness, but often for ease of articulation)

Assimilation Dissimilation Deletion Epenthesis Metathesis Vowel Reduction

Phonetics

Slide 45


Articulatory Processes - Assimilation Assimilation - when the features or characteristics of one sound spread to another sound

Regressive assimilation - if two sounds are together in sequence XY, then some characteristic of Y spreads to X (backwards).

Vowel nasalization before a nasal consonant - bed vs. Ben

Progressive assimilation - if two sounds are together in sequence XY, then some characteristic of X spreads to Y (forward).

Voiceless liquids and glides - bride vs. pride

46

Phonetics

Slide


Articulatory Processes - Assimilation Voicing assimilation - a sound takes on the same voicing as a nearby sound voicing - voiceless sound becomes voiced devoicing - voiced sound becomes voiceless

Phonetics

Slide 47


Articulatory Processes - Assimilation Assimilation of place of articulation - a sound takes on the same place of articulation as a nearby sound Palatalization - making the place of articulation more palatal

Also term used for changing alveolar sound to post-alveolar

Homorganic nasal assimilation - a nasal consonant changes depending on the place of articulation of the following consonant

Phonetics

Slide 48


Articulatory Processes - Assimilation Assimilation of manner of articulation - a sound takes on the same manner of articulation as a nearby sound Nasalization - making vowel nasalized

Flapping - between two vowels, an alveolar stop becomes a flap (where first syllable is stressed and second is not) (Flaps are considered continuant so more vowel like)

Phonetics

Slide 49


Articulatory Processes - Dissimilation Two sounds become less alike Rare process

Phonetics

Slide 50


Process that removes a segment from certain phonetic contexts

Articulatory Processes - Deletion

Phonetics

Slide 51


Articulatory Processes - Epenthesis Process that inserts a segment in certain phonetic contexts

Phonetics

Slide 52


Articulatory Processes - Metathesis Reordering of the sequence of segments

Phonetics

Slide 53


Articulatory Processes - Vowel Reduction In unstressed syllables, vowels become more central Common reduced vowels in English:

Phonetics

Slide 54

high central unrounded vowel


Articulatory processes - Reviewadjustments made during normal speech (not laziness, but for ease of articulation)

Assimilation - regressive or progressiveOf voicing - voicing or devoicingPlace of articulation - palatalization, homorganic nasal assimilationManner of articulation - nasalization, flapping

Dissimilation - orange juice Deletion - fifs, husban Epenthesis - warmpth Metathesis - aks, pisghetti Vowel Reduction - Ohio or Ohia? Missouri

Examples of stressed, unstressed and reduced vowels

Phonetics

Slide 55


Articulatory ProcessesWhat processes are involved?

Phonetics

Slide 56

ij = i

uw = u


Articulatory ProcessesTo identify articulatory process involved, you need to look at differences between the starting (usually careful pronunciation) and ending pronunciation (normal speech)

If a sound is missing = If a sound has been added =If the order of sounds has changed =If a sound has changed:

Determine how the sound has changed (what phonetic property has changed: voicing, place or manner of articulation)Compare this phonetic property to nearby soundsIf the changed phonetic property matches nearby sounds =If the changed phonetic property does not match nearby sounds =

Consonants!!! 3 (main) Descriptive Terms!!!

#1.) Voicing (left = voiceless right = voiced)#2.)Place of Articulation

#3.) Manner of…

Therefore: [d] is a voiced alveolar stop

Remember this!!! *note! (exclamation points are great learning tools!)


Vowels!!! 4 (main) Descriptive Terms!!!#1.) High or Low

#2.) Front or Back

#3.)Rounded

Or

Unrounded

#4.) Tense or Lax
