Alveolar consonant

Code-switching is a normal part of everyday language and is often overlooked, but through this assignment it became more apparent than ever before, most notably when code switching occurred between languages and within each separate languages. For this field report, I analyzed code-switching in my native language-Polish and then English as they both took place in the same context, my sister’s kitchen. It was a rather peaceful and relaxed saturday afternoon when the communication event took place…

linguo-labials, are consonants created by contracting the tip of the tongue against the upper lip. The application of apicolabials is used in stops,…

The systematic study of speech and the sounds of language is referred to as phonetics. Traditionally phoneticians rely on careful listening and observation in order to describe speech sounds (Nolan, 2007). Phonetics is often defined with respect to phonology. Both disciplines are concerned with the sound medium of language. Phonology is concerned with the pattering of sounds in a language (and in language in general), and is thus comparable to areas of linguistics such as syntax and morphology…

saying and what the therapist is saying. The second goal would be to get the child to say the words without using the phonological process. Getting /k/ in isolation can be easily achieved by keeping Zach’s tongue tip from making contact with the alveolar ridge or teeth. This can be done by utilizing a lollipop or tongue depressor to gently hold the tongue tip down while Zach produces the /k/ sound. Once he produces the /k/ sounds on his own we can begin working towards making words with the…

et al., 2011). Other distinctions involve consonants. The digraphs /ch/ and /sh/ are interchanged so that shook is pronounced as if spelled with a /ch/ and check spelled /sh/ (Fromkin et al., 2011). Another is the substitution of /th/ for /t/ in the beginning of words, so thin…

because she has difficulties in pronunciation and differentiation between speech sounds. Hypernasality in her speech makes it challenging to communicate clearly. Hypernasality is when there is an excessive nasal resonance for certain vowels and oral consonants (Naharajan, Savitha, & Subramaniyan, 2009). Hypernasality…

positions including distoangular, vertical, mesioangular and horizontal. Distoangular and horizontal are also significantly more difficult to remove and require more bone removal. For mandibular molars, we need to be aware of where the inferior alveolar nerve is located and also make sure that we do not perforate the lingual plate with our handpiece which protect us from damaging the lingual nerve. For maxillary molars, we must be aware of where the maxillary sinus is in relation to molars. …

kept in mind. The first thing I noticed is the mispronunciation of interdentals by replacing them with Ta and da. Both interdentals are replaced by alveolar consonants. However, this may be just a manner of articulation problem. She isn’t putting her tongue between her teeth enough. What’s odd is sometimes she actually pronounces the interdental consonants. It may have been there was more focus on those words since it was multi-syllables. Another problem was word stress. While Vietnamese is more…

This semester for my field experience, I was placed in a third grade classroom under a speech pathologist in Lispalot Elementary in the Oklahoma City public school district. The following instructional strategy essay will be based on a third grade class, with speech disorders, who are unable to accomplish kindergarten standards and objectives in phonics. We plan on using technology and games to work with students on their specific speech disorder. The classroom has a total of four students…

air arrives at the oral cavity where the articulatory system takes over forming the perceive speech sounds. First as the air come into the oral cavity is stopped once again by the tongue blocking the air by holding against the alveolar ridge of the mouth. The consonants /d/ and /p/ are produced by the manner it is articulated, the positioning of the articulators in the mouth, and by voicing. The /d/ is a plosive and soon pressure is let loose and the vocal folds are vibrating to produce the /d/…
