Nasal consonant

Vanuatu and how they have changed over time. Apicolabials, also more commonly known as linguo-labials, are consonants created by contracting the tip of the tongue against the upper lip. The application of apicolabials is used in stops,…

Does language have a positive effect on phonemic awareness in several demographic groups? If so, what patterns emerge from among the demographic groups when compared to each other. Hypothesis: Students with theoretical or assessed deficits in language will have a significantly lower score in phonemic awareness when compared with their counterparts. Null Hypothesis, there is no difference in the between the means of students with a theoretical or assessed deficits in lanthat and phonic skills…

Jane’s experience, 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…

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…

Over the course of nine sessions at the clinic, Dean worked on consonant sequences in /st/, /sl/, /fl/, and /bl/ and velars (/k/ and /g/). The session objectives were adjusted as Dean showed competence in producing target sounds, but lack of carryover into conversation. Dean recently used a self-monitoring chart to increase…

Phonetics was first studied in the Indian subcontinent in the 4th century BCE, or even earlier than that the 6th century BCE, with Panini's explanation of the place (where are the sounds produced) and manner (how they are produced) of articulation of consonants. In the late 19th century, the phonogram was invented,…

The speech samples consisted of isolated vowels (/a/, /i/, /u/), ten words with high pressure consonants, and five standard oral sentences. In the lab, the individuals were instructed to sit in upright positions while they had a substance instilled in the nasopharynx for better visualization of the contrast. The participants were asked to read the…

Client’s Name: Amanda Client’s Age: 49 Disorder: Dysphonia and Vocal Fold Nodules Observation #1 Amanda is a police officer, and her responsibilities include frequent speaking engagement in which she must speak a lot of ambient noise. In addition, she has smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 25 years. Amanda was referred to a speech pathologist for evaluation of her voice. An examination revealed an abnormal change in the voice, or dysphonia, most likely bilateral true vocal nodule on the…

Furthermore, this process should be suppressed by 3 years, 6 months. For the client’s age of 6 years, 2 months, it would be important to target this process in therapy. The clinician would also want to target the client’s use of deletion of final consonants. Although it is not considered an active process by this analysis’s standards, there are enough instances of this process in the client’s productions that could influence her intelligibility. According to the developmental norms, this process…

pronounced as ‘d’ such as ‘de’ (‘the) and ‘dough’ (though). ‘Th’ sounds at the end of words, on the other hand, are often pronounced as an ‘f’ or simply a ‘t’ (usually when preceded by a nasal), as in the hook: I jus’ left de mall, I'm gettin' fly wit mah baby, yeah In which one can see an example of consonant reduction (jus’ and gettin’), the omittance of a dipthong (‘mah’) an initial ‘th’ sound replaced with a ‘d’ sound (‘de’), and a final ‘th’ sound replaced with a ‘t’ sound (‘wit’). In…
