Experimental Phonetics
|
Study of speech sound production to analyze physiological mvmts. And acoustic properties with help of laboratory instruments.
|
|
|
Articulatory Phonetics
|
how speaker of language produces speech sounds
Vocal tract and other anatomical structures are studied a lot to describe how physiological systems work to produce speech sounds |
|
|
Acoustic Phonetics
|
the study of the properties of the sound waves as they travel from the vocal tract of the speaker to the ear of the listener
|
|
|
Perceptual Phonetics
|
the perception of sounds by the listener and is studied in great detail.
The study ranges from sound awareness to sound interpretation. |
|
|
Clinical or Applied Phonetics
|
practical application of the knowledge derived from Experimental, Articulatory, Acoustic, and Perceptual Phonetics.
|
|
|
Phone
|
generic term for any sound that can be produced by the vocal tract, this sound may or may not be a speech sound
|
|
|
Phoneme
|
a family of phones or sounds perceived to belong to the same category by the listener.
A group of sounds rather than a single sound. Example: “tea”- alveolar placement • The bottled tea was tasty! |
|
|
Morpheme
|
a minimal unit of meaning, the smallest unit of language carrying semantic interpretation
|
|
|
Free Morpheme
|
a whole word that cannot be broken down into any smaller parts and still have linguistic meaning.
Ex. In, on, fry, dog, egg |
|
|
Bound Morpheme
|
a word ending (suffix) or beginning (prefix) that attach to a word (free morpheme) to alter the meaning of the word.
Ex. Ing, ed, im, in, re, un |
|
|
Minimal Pairs
|
morphemes that are similar except for one phoneme.
Ex. Bit/pit, sit/fit, sap/lap |
|
|
Allophone
|
variant or alternate form of a phoneme with in a language, considered to be a member of a phoneme family. Lingual placement.
|
|
|
Phonetic Transcription
|
the sounds that are actually produced by an individual are transcribed and placed between brackets.
(Slashes are used for phonemic transcription.) |
|
|
Broad Phonetic Transcription
|
transcribed without diacritical markers
|
|
|
Diacritical Markers
|
special symbols that depict the articulatory or perceptual features of a sound
|
|
|
Phonemic Transcription
|
variations in actual phoneme production is not depicted, enclosed between slashes
|
