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
The back-and-forth movement of air molecules because of a vibrating object is referred to as
oscillation
amplitude
velocity
displacement
The lowest frequency of a periodic wave is also known as
the fundamental frequency or second harmonic
the fundamental frequency or first harmonic
the formant frequency or first harmonic
the first octave or the fundamental frequency
When two or more sounds of differing frequencies are combined, the result is a
complex tone whose vibrations may be periodic or aperiodic
complex tone; the vibrations are always periodic, where waves repeat themselves at regular intervals
pure tone, where the vibrations are usually periodic
pure tone, where the vibrations are always aperiodic
When a speaker is producing a vowel and the vowel is being acoustically analyzed, one can state as a general rule that
F2 varies mostly as a result of tongue height, and F1 varies mostly as a result of tongue position (variation in the anterior-to-posterior position of the tongue in the oral cavity)
F2 varies mostly as a result of tongue height, and F3 varies mostly as a result of tongue advancement (variation in the anterior-to-posterior position of the tongue in the oral cavity)
F1 varies mostly as a result of tongue height, and F3 varies mostly as a result of tongue advancement (variation in the anterior-to-posterior position of the tongue in the oral cavity)
F1 varies mostly as a result of tongue height, and F2 varies mostly as a result of tongue advancement (variation in the anterior-to-posterior position of the tongue in the oral cavity)
In a periodic complex sound, tones that occur over the fundamental frequency and can be characterized as whole-number multiples of the fundamental frequency are called
complex sinusoidal
autocorrelational periodic wave forms
harmonics
tonal configuration forms
Diacritical marks are
useful in making broad phonetic transcription
useful in making narrow phonetic transcription that gives more detailed information on a speaker's phonetic characteristics
Not useful in transcribing disordered speech
used only in the analysis of speech with foreign accent
The term coda refers to
the nucleus of the syllable
the initial sound in a syllable
the consonant at the end of the syllable
open syllables
The manner of articulation refers to
the degree of type of constriction of the vocal tract during consonant production
the actions of the primary articulators
the vocal fold vibrations during speech
a distinction between consonants and vowels
During typical speech production, vowels
are often unvoiced
require interrupted airflow
require lowered velum
may stand alone
Compared to unstressed syllables, stressed syllables are typically
softer in intensity
longer and higher in pitch
lower in pitch
shorter in duration
