What is coarticulation?
Two articulators moving simulatneaously for different phonemes. (Assimilation is a result of this) Ex: "stoop" ; "two"
100
F2 is based on what?
The speed. (*this is more important for vowel perception)
100
Which spectrogram is better suited to see formants?
a narrow-band spectrogram
100
Formants are based on what 3 characteristics?
Place, Manner, and Voicing
100
Acoording to Boyle's law, in exahalation as the volume decreases the pressure will do what?
Increase (volume and pressure are inversely related).
200
In "eat the cake", if the /t/ sound is assimilated to become a /th/ sound which type/types of articulation is this?
Partial and anticipatory.
200
What is the average F2 for /a/?
1,090-1,220
200
True/False: When reading a spirogram, read it from left to right?
False. Since the barometer writes counterclockwise, read the graph from right to left
200
In relation to the Five Rules, what is said about the front tongue constriction for /i/?
F2 is raised (greater constriction=higher F2).
200
Conversational speech is...
periodic
300
This happens when a sound is influenced by a preceeding sound.
Carryover Assimilation. (L to R) Ex: "dogs" --> /dogz/ "televison" --> "tedevison"
300
F1 is based on the shape/legnth of the tube. The longer the tube, the _______ the formant.
lower
300
The (ERV/VC) x 100 is the formula to find the...
REL (Resting Expiratory Level)
300
What is the average F1 of /u/?
300-430
300
The average VOT for voiced plosives is __ msec.
10
400
In "window", assimialation took place and was pronounced as /WINO/, which type/types of assimilation took place?
Complete and Anticipatory.
400
True/False: When looking at formants, they take place at one time.
True. There are severeal formants for one sound, the happen at one time.
400
Can you see harmonics better on a wide-band spectrogram or narrow-band spectrogram?
a wide-band spectrogram
400
True/False: A formant is equal to the term harmonic?
False. Formant=Resonance
400
How is an amplitude spectrum relative to a spectrogram?
The peaks (resonances/formants) on the spectrum are the same as the bars (formants) on the spectrogram
500
This happens when a sound is influenced by a following sound.
Anticipatory Assimilation (R to L) Ex: "ten cards" --> "tengards"; "pumpkin" --> "pungkin"
500
Name the manners associated with formant structures.
Vowels, Diphthongs, Semivowels, and Nasals. (Plosives, Fricatives, and Africates are non-resonant consonants)
500
How do you calculate the RV (residual volume)?
You can't! This figure has to be given to you, can only be figured if the person is deceased.
500
In relation to the Five Rules, what is stated about lip rounding?
Frequencies for ALL formants are lowered.
500
Typically in children's speech development, do fricatives or glides come first?
Glides
