Are sounds are stored in our _____ and we find a word within it through _____

Mental Lexicon ; lexical access 

100

The study rules of a sound system in a language is ______

Phonology 

100

What are the phases of speech production and where does it take place?

Respiration (Respiratory system), phonation (Laryngeal system), and articulation (Supralaryngeal vocal tract)

100

State the 4 parameters of a vowel 

high, mid, low

front, central, back 

tense, lax

round, unrounded

100

T/F: The Velopharyngeal port closes during nasal sounds. 

False. The velopharyngeal port is open for nasal sounds to happen. A lowered velum allows for air to resonate in the nasal cavity.

Define morphology and morphemes. 
Morphology is the study of morphemes and word structure 

Morphemes are the smallest linguistic unit that carries meaning 

200

Sounds that are distinctive are _____ whereas sounds that are not are _____

Phonemes ; allophones 

200

Air flow from lungs provides _____ source for speech production and vocal fold vibration provides ____ source for speech. 

The pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal cavity are _______ _____ to shape the sound. 

Power ; sound ; resonating cavities 

200

Define cognate pairs 

Sounds that only differ in voicing 

200
T/F: Children identify individual sounds before words.
False: Children focus on words/syllable shapes before sounds. 
300

Explain the difference between broad and narrow transcription. 

Broad transcription is when we transcribe using phonemes whereas narrow transcription are transcribed using allophones and diacritics 

300

____ is the study of speech sounds both perception and production. 

Phonetics

300

List 2 active and 2 passive articulators. 

Active: tongue, lips, velum(soft palate), jaw, vocal folds

Passive: teeth, alveolar ridge, hard palate

300

An SLP would use diacritics to document _____ differences or _______. 

speech 

distortions

300

What phrase is this? 

/faɪnəlz wik/

finals week

400
State the difference between a monophthong and a diphthong

Monophthong is a pure vowel whereas a diphthong is a vowel produced with gradually changing quality 

400

Explain the difference between phonetic and phonotactic inventories

Phonetic inventory is the sounds the child can produce 

Phonotactic inventory is the syllable shape they are producing (e.g., CV, CVC)

400

The sonority principle states a syllable should _____ in sonority to a _____ and then ____. 

rise

peak

falls

400

For central vowels, in stressed syllables use _____ and use _____ in unstressed syllables.

What is the difference between a phonemic diphthong and a non-phonemic diphthong? How many of each?

Phonemic diphthongs do not have a pure vowel that can be exchanged as an allophone. (3)

Non-phonemic diphthongs have a pure vowel counterpart that can be used as an allophone (2)

500

Define Phonological Processes

a systematic rule that the child overlays onto their phonological system that simplifies speech.  

500

Which word does not have a coda in the last syllable?

tree
tape
