PHONOLOGY BRANCH OF LINGUISTICS SPEECH SOUNDS PRODUCTION articulation COMPOSITION formation DISTRIBUTION place in a word FUNCTION vowel or cons.
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS PHONEME: unit of sound different from another one seat /s//i://t/ sit /s//ɪ/t/ ALLOPHONE: variations same sound pear captain stop pʰer kæptən sta:p=
PARTS INVOLVED IN THE RODUCTION OF SPEECH MOTOR: lungs, trachea, larynx, diaphragm VIBRATOR: vocal cords RESONATOR: larynx, pharynx, nose, mouth ARTICULATORS: lips, tongue, uvula, lower jaw POINTS OF ARTICULATION: teeth, upper lip, alveolar, hard palate, soft palate, walls of the pharynx, glottis.
THE THREE POSITIONS OF THE VOCAL CORDS pos. 1 pos. 2 pos. 3 1.Wide apart: normal breathing, VOICELESS 2: Closely together: impede the flow of air. 3: Light contact: VOICED SOUNDS
DEFINITION OF CONSONANTS PHONETICALLY.- made by a closure or narrowing in the vocal tract, the air flow is either completely blocked, or so restricted producing friction. PHONOLOGICALLY.- margins of syllables, singly/clusters, short, lack of sonority / predominance of friction noise, oral or nasal,
MANNER OF ARTICULATION degree or type of obstruction to the air flow • STOPS or PLOSIVES • FRICATIVES • AFFRICATES • NASALS • LATERAL, • R-SOUNDS • SEMICONSONANTS
PLACE OR POINT OF ARTICULATION place in the vocal tract Bilabial Labiodental Dentals or Interdental Alveolar Palatal Velar Glottal
DISTRIBUTION OF CONSONANT PHONEMES Phonetically, DISTRIBUTION refers to the total set of contexts, in which a sound unit can occur according to the word. water team boat
CONSONANT ALLOPHONES Special phonetic symbols, identify allophonic differences in the same phoneme. A small (h) the upper-right side of the consonant symbol, ASPIRATED STOP. Ex. [tʰ ] as in TEN. Two parallel hyphens (=) at the lower-right of the consonant symbol, means unreleased stop. Ex. [ p= ] as in ZIP
An (r) with an apostrophe (') in its upper side, represents a voiced intervocalic tap. Ex. [ ŕ ] as in WEDDING. A slanted line (/) crossing the consonant /l/, means that this is a VELAR LATERAL or DARK- /l/. Ex.:[ ł ] as in ALL.
MINIMAL PAIRS Sets of monosyllabic words differing in only one sound. • Consonant contrast pet bet • Vowel contrast sit seat
CONSONANT CLUSTERS • CONSONANT CLUSTER two or more consonants together with no vowels in between, at the beginning or end of a word • INITIAL CLUSTERS: beginning bread /br/, stop /st/, clean /kl/, etc. (fifty-two) • FINAL CLUSTERS: word final position Clusters of 2, 3, and 4 consonants can occur at the end adopts /-pts/, tipped /-pt /, lapsed/-pst/ (170).
