Phonological Patterns
This phonological pattern occurs when sounds at the back of the mouth (i.e. "k","g") are produced using the front of the mouth (i.e. "t", "d")
a. gliding c. stopping
b. fronting d. backing
What is B: fronting?
True or False? AAE stands for All American English.
AAE stands for African American English
a. Cycle's Approach c. Minimal Oppositions
b. Complexity Approach d. Maximal Oppositions
What is A: Cycle's Approach
This phonological pattern occurs when /r/ becomes /w/ & when /l/ becomes /w/ or /y/.
a. stopping c. vowelization
b. backing d. gliding
What is D: gliding?
True or False? If a speaker of AAE produces the word "bruvah" for the word "brother", SLPs should count the production correct when scoring an assessment.
What is True?
This treatment approach selects target words from the client's everyday, functional vocabulary.
a. Cycle's c. maximal opposition
b. Core Vocabulary d. complexity
This phonological pattern occurs when a consonant cluster is reduced to a single consonant.
a. final consonant deletion c. cluster reduction
b. initial consonant deletion d. deaffrication
What is D: deaffrication?
True or False? If a speaker of AAE produces the word "lookin'" for "looking" the SLP should count the production incorrect when scoring an assessment.
What is False?
The SLP should count the production as correct as replacing as leaving the "g" off of "ing" is standard for speakers of AAE.
This approach selects two target sounds that may differ in place, voice, and manner of articulation.
a. Maximal Opposition c. Complexity
b. Cycle's d. Minimal Opposition
What is A: Maximal Opposition?
This phonological pattern occurs when a consonant sound starts to sound like another consonant in the word. (i.e. "bub" for "bus")
a. assimilation c. fronting
b. stopping d. deaffrication
What is A: assimilation?
True or False? A speaker of SAE (Standard American English) produces the word "cup" for "cub". The SLP marks the production as incorrect.
What is True?
It would only be marked correct for speakers of AAE, where voicing rules for final consonants are not strict.
This approach uses "pairs of words that differ by only one phoneme or single feature signaling a change in meaning".
This phonological pattern occurs when an affricate (i.e. "ch" or "j") is replaced with a fricative or stop (i.e. "sh" or "d").
a. affrication c. stopping
b. deaffrication d. fronting
What is D: deaffrication?
True or False? A speaker of AAE produces the word "to:d" for "told". The SLP marks this production as incorrect.
What is False?
Inclusion of "l" in "l" blends is not required for speakers of AAE.
This approach uses targets based on hierarchies of complexity (i.e. clusters, fricatives, and affricates are more complex than other sound classes) & stimulability (i.e. sounds with lowest stimulability are more complex).
