‘ice’, ‘fire’, and ‘desire’, are never ending, due to the fact that they end in vowels and not consonants. The only words within “Fire and Ice” that have a tough ending are ‘hate’ and ‘great’, but even then the words are not cacophonous. Similarly, “Mending Wall” contains words that are euphonic, such as ‘wall’, ‘hill’, and ‘balance’. Although, “Mending Wall” does contain more words with hard consonants endings, these words are not cacophonous, as seen with ‘turned’, ‘each’, and ‘armed’. The use…

productions (/p/, /k/, and /ʃ/) were selected as target phonemes. Baseline probes were conducted to assess the stability of these phonemes in a word repetition task. Once stability was observed, the participant was trained using ten consonant-vowel (CV) and consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words for each target phoneme. Ten words remained untrained to assess for future generalization of production accuracy. The dependent variable of this study was the percentage of correct productions of target…

One of my favorite songs is “Stay Alive” by Jose Gonzalez. The song features a variety of musical elements that makes this song very pleasing to the ear. The song begins with the sounds of a city and of a car starting. The song starts to feature a soft but consistent rhythm, that is recognizable throughout most of the song. The gentle “ticking” sound is similar to that of a clock and is repeated and consistent. Then the piano and vocals begin, the sound of the piano and the singer are both very…

phonotactic test, evaluated different word structures (CV, CVC, VC, etc.) and the fastest answer to a word was when the word ended on a voiceless consonant. Indicating perhaps the voiceless attribute could lend itself to understanding and recognition (p. 230). Consonants overall tended to give more recognition then their counterparts. The voiceless consonant words in English were the most recognizable. It was also noted that bilingual students were less able to distinguish the various…

Shenandoah was able to write ___ out of ___ initial consonants, Phonological Awareness Skills Test The phonological awareness skills test, also known as PAST, assesses a student’s ability to hear and manipulate sounds in words. Out of the fourteen tasks that were presented to Shenandoah, she was able to master all but one. The one skill she struggles with is the ability to delete the first phoneme in a consonant blend (say crow without the /k/ is row). CRI??? Recommendations: Shenandoah…

the years 1904-1909, and the love of Scriabin’s piano works showed in Prokofiev’s early piano pieces. He imitated some of Scriabin’s pianistic techniques in his early piano works like the “repeated-note arpeggios” and “wide-ranging bass”. But he soon turned to seek more radical musical language that completely departs from the romanticism, and during the years 1909-1914 he finished his composition classes and began his course to train as a pianist and conductor. It is in this time he gradually…

As mentioned by Lynch in his article Onset of speech-like vocalizations in Infants with Down Syndrome, children with Down Syndrome do not acquire canonical babbling and produce words at the same time as children with traditional linguistic development (1995). To compensate this lack of abilities to communicate orally, children with Down Syndrome tend to use gestures and non-verbal language to get an object they want or for other requests. As mentioned earlier, Jules’ parents taught their son…

I spoke and how I taught English. Meaning and emotion could be captured in the sounds of many words—especially the older words. In general, vowels allow for emotion to emerge while consonants generate the meaning of words through the phonetic barriers of teeth, lips and tongue. Enunciating a word using its consonants give it boundaries, and meaning. When I make the sound “aaaahhhh” for a prolonged period I feel an easy joy. When I make another vowel sound like “eeeeehhh” I feel excitement or…
