Tackled
Stops - ✅✅ complete closure of the vocal tract momentarily is associated with
_______
Fricatives - ✅✅ narrowing of the vocal tract/partial obstruction is associated
with _______
Affricates - ✅✅ fairly brief stop and frication interval is associated with
_________
Stops, fricatives, affricates, nasals, glides, liquids - ✅✅ the 3 obstruents are:
____, ______, and _____
The 3 sonorants/non-obstruents are: ______, ______, and _______
Silence, voicing energy, constriction, burst - ✅✅ stops are characterized by:
-a brief moment of __________ during closure
-some _____ ____ possible
-air pressure is impounded behind ______ during closure
-_____ upon release of closure
-transition- the vocal tract adjusts for the next sound
Stop gap - ✅✅ the _________ ________ is characterized by total or near-total
absence of energy
-most easily seen between vowels (e.g. /ata/ or /apa/)
-hard to see if stop is phrase-initial
-typically 50-150 ms in duration
-VF oscillation may continue into voiced stop
-visible voice bar on spectrogram
50-150, 1/10 - ✅✅ the stop gap closure is typically ___-______ ms or ____/___
of a second in duration
Voiced stop, voiceless stop - ✅✅ stop gap duration is less for a ______ _______
and longer for a _______ ________
, Longer - ✅✅ if you measured a person's production of a stop consonant in VCV
context who had a stutter, would the spectrogram reveal a longer or shorter stop
duration?
True - ✅✅ T/F: a spectrogram of a stop consonant from a person with dysarthria
would show a decreased stop duration because their tongue/lips may not fully
approximate targets
Pressure - ✅✅ _______ = force per unit area
Aperiodic, nearly periodic - ✅✅ noise is _______ in its waveform, while the
human voice is ______ ________
Vowels - ✅✅ Pio is equal to atmospheric pressure during the production of
__________
U-tube manometer, electronic equipment, static, dynamic - ✅✅ a ________
________ is a tubed device containing water that is level on both sides until
pressure is applied to it and displaces it
Cmh2o - ✅✅ what is the pressure unit of measurement used in speech research?
Pressure transducer - ✅✅ a ________ _________ is a device you stick in a
person's mouth while they speak to measure intraoral pressure
Subglottal pressure - ✅✅ Ps or Psub stands for ________ ________ and is the
driving pressure for phonation/speech
(pressure from lungs to larynx)
Tracheal puncture, esophageal pressure - ✅✅ what are 2 ways you can measure
subglottal pressure (Psub)? (1 direct and 1 indirect measure)
Tracheal puncture - ✅✅ in a ________ ________, a physician creates a hole in
the trachea (below the larynx) & puts a mini pressure transducer into it to measure
the pressure
-provides direct & accurate measures during speech, but it is invasive and hard to
attract volunteers
Esophageal balloon - ✅✅ because the esophagus shares its anterior wall with the
posterior wall of the trachea, past researchers have indirectly measured Psub using
