Praxis Study Session Chapter 2

The "typical" speaker of Standard American English would produce the word emancipation as

• /Imɑnsʌpeʃʌn/

• /imɑnsʌpeIʃən/

• /imænsəpeIʃən/

• /Imʌnsʌpeʃn/

The /r/ and /l/ sounds may both be categorized as

• rhotic

• glides

• laterals

• liquids

A semivowel that can be categorized as a voiced bilabial glide that is + anterior and + continuant is the

• /j/

• /w/

• /ʃ

• /r/

The term coarticulation refers to

• speech sounds being modified due to the influence of adjacent sounds to the point that there are perceptible changes in sounds

• the extent to which vocal tract configurations change shape during the production of consonants and vowels in running speech

• the influence of one phoneme upon another in production and perception wherein two different articulators move simultaneously to produce two different speech sounds

• the influence of various syllables upon one another when a client recites a phonetically balanced list of words

Broad phonemic transcription involves

• the use of IPA symbols to transcribe phonemes by enclosing them within slash marks (e.g., /f/)

• the use of diacritical markers to transcribe phonemes by enclosing them within slash marks (e.g., /f/)

• the transcription of allophones by placing them within brackets (e.g., [f])

• the transcription of allophones by the use of diacritical markers

If a speaker said, "Just love 'em and leave 'em," the phrase "leave 'em" could be transcribed as

• [liv ʊm]

• [lev] [em]

• /liv ʊhm/

• /liv m/

The two properties of a medium that affect sound transmission are

• amplitude and intensity

• mass and elasticity

• compression and rarefaction

• pressure and force

A sinusoidal wave is a sound wave

• that is asymmetrical

• with multiple peaks and valleys

• with multiple frequencies

• that is a result of simple harmonic motion

A natural frequency is a frequency

• with which a source of sound vibrates naturally

• that is unrelated to the mass and stiffness of the vibrating body

• that is the center frequency of a formant

• that refers to the simple harmonic motion

An octave is

• the amount of molecular displacement per unit of time

• the amount of time between cycles

• an indication of interval between two frequencies

• a measure of the magnitude (intensity, strength) of the sound signal
