labial

lips

dental

teeth



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/
