lingual |
tongue |

alveolar |
alveolar ridge |
|
palatal |
hard palate |
|
velar |
soft palate |
|
velopharyngeal port closure (physiology) |
space in the articulatory system where the nasal, oral, and pharyngeal cavities meet. between velum and pharyngeal wall. closing the space so air doesn't travel to the nasal cavity. without this ability you wouldn't be intelligible. |
|
velopharyngeal port closure (anatomy & physiology) |
velum wall goes back and touches the pharyngeal wall. pharyngeal wall also tightens to prevent ANY air from traveling into the nasal cavity. |
|
root |
anchors tongue into head. can't see it, not used in speech sounds. |
|
body (of tongue) |
the whole tongue moving in a particular direction. usually in reference to vowel articulation |
|
tip |
also known as apex. "T" sound [ex] |
|
blade |
behind the tip but before dorsum. "C" sound |
|
back/dorsum |
behind blade before root. "k" and "g" sound |
|
diphthongs |
vowels that have two parts. two different tongue positions of the tongue. have tongue movement |
|
monothongs |
vowels with one part. tongue will go into one position and not move. vowel doesn't change a long as you have breath on the vowel. change in sound quality |
|
position |
articulatory |
|
acoustic/perceptual |
sound quality changes |
|
retroflexed |
tongue doesn't change position rather changes shape |
|
on-glide |
1st part of the non-retroflexed diphthong. [change in tongue position] |
|
off-glide |
2nd part of a non-retroflexed [change in tongue position] |
|
tongue position |
only moves up and down/forward and back |
|
tongue height |
moving up and down; 5 options high, mid-high, mid, mid-low, low |
|
vowels are made with little to no _______ in the ______ |
constriction, vocal tract |
|
tongue advancement |
forward and back,3 categories: front, central, and back |
|
tongue position |
height and advancement |
|
lip rounding |
in english front vowels are unrounded and back vowels are. exception /a/ the very lowest of the back vowels is unrounded. if the off-glide of a diphthong is rounded the whole thing is rouned. |
|
retroflexed-roundedness |
roundedness based on the first vowel in diphthong |
|
tense vowels |
tense vowels are longer in duration than lax vowels. more muscle tension/contraction /i/ |
|
lax |
lax vowels are shorter and have less muscle tension/contraction /I/ |
|
where does constriction normally occur |
the oral cavity |
|
consonants are sounds that are made with a _______ or ______ in the ______ ________ |
narrowing or constriction, vocal tract |
|
place |
place with the most narrowing along the vocal tract. where you've restricted airflow the most. |
|
manner |
how air flowing through the vocal tract is modified |
|
voicing |
are you vibrating the vocal folds or not [not=voiceless] |
|
5 manner types |
fricative, affricate, glide, nasal, flap |
|
fricative |
a manner of articulation. somewhere along the vocal tract you create a very small opening [narrowing] that you push air through. |
|
sibilancy |
extra noise you get when air particles hit the back to the teeth |
|
where are consonants made? |
made with a narrowing or constriction in the vocal tract. usually the constriction takes place in the oral cavity |
|
cognate |
two sounds that have the same place and the same manner but differ in voicing |
|
stops |
completely block air flow. velopharyngeal port is closed results in air pressure build up behind that blockage. |
|
phonemic |
if the on-glide of the diphthong and the off-glide are different [phonemes/sounds] ex. /aI/ |
|
non-phonemic |
if the on-glide of the diphthong and the off-glide are the same [phoneme/sound] ex. /eI/ |
