Why is Phonetics Important?
|
Helps us know how to correct speech errors, how to produce them, understand evolution of language
|
What is PHONETICS
|
Study of speech SOUNDS & their PRODUCTION
|
ARTICULATORY PHONETICS
|
-how to PRODUCE consonants & vowels-how to add INTONATION, TIMING & STRESS-what the body is PHYSICALLY doing to create these sounds
|
ACOUSTIC PHONETICS
|
-what we HEAR in sounds-PITCH, LOUDNESS & QUALITY-waveforms
|
LINGUISTIC PHONETICS
|
-meaning of sounds-study of SOUNDS & what they MEAN
|
4 Ways to Obstruct Airflow
|
1. Respiratory System2. Laryngeal System3. Resonance System4. Articulatory System
|
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
|
-source of POWER-lungs>trachea>larynx>vocal folds
|
LARYNGEAL SYSTEM
|
-VOICED vs. VOICELESSdue to vocal fold vibrationvibrate= voiced (zzzzz) no vibration= voiceless (sssss)
|
RESONANCE SYSTEM
|
-NASAL vs. ORALair comes out mouth=oralair comes out nose=nasal
|
KINDS OF ARTICULATORS
|
Active: usually lower surface, movespassive: usually upper surface, stays stationary
|
How are Consonants Produced?
|
-obstructed airstream-classified 2 ways: place & manner
|
3 Major Areas of Consonant Articulation
|
1. Labial2. Coronal3. Dorsal
|
Specific Labial Areas:
|
Bilabial (P, B, M, W)Labiodental (F, V)
|
Specific Coronal Areas:
|
Interdental (th)Alveolar (T,D,N,S,Z,L)Alvelopalatal (ch, ju)Palatoalveolar (sh, ge)
|
Specific Dorsal Areas:
|
Palatal (Y,R)Velar (K,G,ING)
