COMD 2600 EXAM #3 STUDY GUIDE
lips, tongue, teeth, jaw, velum - Answers -Which articulators are involved in producing
speech sounds?
phonology - Answers -The language rules that govern how phonemes are combined to
make words.
articulation - Answers -The ability to produce sounds in sequence by moving the teeth,
tongue, lips, jaw, and velum.
phonological disorder - Answers -Difficulty understanding and implementing the
underlying rules for producing sounds and sound sequences.
intelligibility - Answers -The understandability of spontaneous speech. A crucial factor
for determining the need for and the effectiveness of therapy.
children with developmental speech disorders express their ideas in a way that is not as
intelligible as we expect for his/her chronological age - Answers -Know how children
with normal speech and children with developmental speech disorders differ in their
speech production.
developmental speech disorders - Answers -What is the most common type of speech
disorder treated by SLPs?
substitution of /w/ for /r/ - Answers -Give an example of an articulation disorder of
substitution?
phonetic science and linguistics - Answers -Which two perspectives of speech are
employed in assessment and treatment by SLPs?
phonetic science - Answers -This perspective of speech focuses on the physiological
systems for producing (i.e., tongue, velum, vocal folds) and perceiving (i.e., ear and
brain) speech.
linguistics - Answers -This perspective of speech focuses on speaker knowledge of
speech sounds in language.
physical ability to produce speech, acquisition of the rules for combining sounds to
produce words in a specific language - Answers -The most salient difference between
these two perspectives is that phonetics emphasizes
the______________________________, and linguistics emphasizes the
____________________________.
, respiratory, phonatory, and articulatory systems - Answers -What are the 3 major
subsystems of the body involved in speech production?
audition and discrimination - Answers -What are the perceptual processes of speech?
audition - Answers -This perceptual process of speech involves hearing sounds.
discrimination - Answers -This perceptual process of speech involves sorting sounds
into recognizable categories.
articulation disorder - Answers -Individuals with difficulty in the physiological processes
involved in producing and perceiving speech are usually considered to have which type
of disorder?
consonants and vowels - Answers -What are the 2 different kinds of phonemes?
place of articulation, manner of articulation, and voicing - Answers -How are
consonants described/classified?
distinctive features - Answers -These reflect the underlying units of knowledge that are
used to construct sounds in words; they describe differences between the individuals
phonemes in a language.
Chomsky and Halle - Answers -Who suggested distinctive features as a system of
analysis for phonemes?
15, binary (+/-) - Answers -How many features are in Chomsky and Halle's system?
How are these features described?
nasal, sonorant, consonantal, anterior, coronal, voiced, strident, lateral - Answers -
What are some examples of distinctive features included in Chomksy and Halle's
system?
retrieving and using mentally stored units that specify sounds; or may not have figured
out one of the important features of the language he/she speaks - Answers -From a
distinctive feature perspective, an individual with a phonological disorder or delay may
have difficulty....
it is important for acquisition of speech production skills as well as for ongoing speaker
self-monitoring of speech production - Answers -Why is perception important?
phonological processes and distinctive features - Answers -What are two systems for
describing mental knowledge of sound used by SLPs?
phonological processes - Answers -Variations in the way phonemes are combined.
These describe phonological rules that operate at the level of the syllable or word.
