Term
Allophone
Definition
A variation of a phoneme that does not change meaning
Term
Apraxia of Speech
Definition
A disorder involving the coordination, sequencing, and prosodic features in the absence of muscle weakness or paralysis
Term
Articulation
Definition
The totality of all the motor process involved in the planning and execution of the highly overlapping gestures of the speech organism that results in the acoustic signal that is recognized as speech.
**Movement of the speech mechanism to produce the sounds of speech- starts with the diaphragm
Term
Coarticulation (relates to allophonic variation)
Definition
The influence of one sound on another during speech. Articulatory movements for one phone that are carried over into the production or subsequent phones
Term
Cognate
Definition
Consonant sounds that differ only in voicing
Term
Consonant
Definition
A speech sound made with movement of the articulatory muscle that interrupt, constrict, or alter the airstream. Defined by place (active and passive), manner, and voicing
Term
Consonant cluster (blends)
Definition
2 or 3 consonants occuring together in which each segment is spoken, usually s,l,or r blends
Term
Continuant
Definition
Sounds made with an incomplete point of constriction; the flow of air is not completely stopped.
/w/, /f/, /v/, /s/, /z/, /l/, /j/, /r/, and "sh", "dz", and the voiced and unvoiced "th"
Term
Diadochokinesis
Definition
Rate and movement of the articulators as measured by rapid repetition of selected syllables- consistency
Term
Dialect
Definition
Mutually intelligible variations of a spoken language by members of a particular region, culture, or social community
Term
Dipthong
Definition
A vowel sound in which there is a gradual change in production from one vowel to another
Term
Dysarthria
Definition
neuromuscular speech disorder characterized by paralysis, peresis, incoordination of speech muscles caused by central or peripheral nerve damage.
Must find strategies to compensate because there is no cure
Term
Functional Articulation Disorder
Definition
A disorder in which there is no known pathological change in organic structure that can be related to the disorder. Just articulation
Term
Homorganic
Definition
Sounds produced in the same place of production
Term
Homonym
Definition
The loss of contrast between 2 or more different words due to the presence of a phonological process- say "tea" for /t/ and key
Term
Idioms
Definition
Words that do not follow phonological system of child
a) Progressive- advanced production of a word in relation to phonological system (advanced word form)
b) regressive- delayed production of a word in relation to phonological system (frozen word form)
Term
Intelligibility
Definition
The degree of clarity with which ones utterances are understood by the listener. Subjective measure
Term
Morphophonemics
Definition
The sound alterations that result from the modifications of free morphemesl; how sounds are produced in combination with morphemes. Depends if they're voiced or unvoiced
Term
Obstruent
Definition
Consonants with complete closure or narrow constriction of the vocal tract; stops, affricates, and fricatives (opposite of sonorant)
Term
Organic disorder
Definition
Disorders that arise from physical (anatomicl, physiological, or neurological) anomalies effecting structure and function of speech mechanism
Term
Phone
Definition
A single speech sound of a language that is represented by a single word
Term
Phoneme
Definition
A family of sounds that function in a language to indicate a change in meaning
Term
Phonetic inventory
Definition
A list of sounds that the client has demonstrated that they can produce. Doesn't mean they can use it correctly though
Term
Phonemic Inventory
Definition
an inventory of sounds that a child uses contrastively to indicate the difference in meaning of words
Term
Phonetic Transcription
Definition
transcription of the sounds in a language using a consistent system, such as IPA
Term
Phonetics
Definition
The study of speech sounds
Term
Phonetics- articulatory
Definition
the study of how artucators make individual speech sounds; description/classification of the motor processes responsible for speech sounds
Term
Phonetics- acoustic
Definition
the study of the relationship between articulation and the acoustic signal of speech- frequency, intensity, duration of speech sounds
Term
Phonetics- auditory
Definition
the study of how phonetic decisions are made from the acoustic signal; awareness and intrepratation of the acoustic signal
Term
Phonology
Definition
the science of speech sounds and sound patterns within a language
Term
Phonotactics
Definition
Permissible sequencing of sounds, restrictions on word and syllable shapes within a language, cluster constraints, word endings with different morphemes (plural, 3rd person singular, past tense, ect...)
Term
Prosody (suprasegmentals)
Definition
Stress (effort), intonation (vocal pitch contour), loudness, juncture (vocal punctuation), speaking rate, ect...
Term
Rhotics
Definition
words used to describe /r/ coloring of vowels and consonants
Term
Sonorants
Definition
Sounds produced with an unobstructed airflow (nasals, liquids, and glides)
Term
Stimulability
Definition
Ability of a client to produce a target phoneme by imitating the examiner
Term
Strident
Definition
Sounds produced by forcing the airstream through small openings causing intense noise; fricatives and affricative
Term
Vowels
Definition
A speech sound that is produced with an open, unobstructed vocal tract. Always voiced
