Artic & Phonology Chapter 2

speech

verbal, oral, or spoken means of communication or expression

also involves the motor movements required to produce sounds for communication

language

complex, rule-based system of conventional symbols that are universally accepted

form, content, use

the 3 parts of language

phonology, morphology, syntax

the 3 parts of form

semantics

content

pragmatics

use

articulation, fluency, voice

3 sections (parts) of speech

phonemes

single sounds; vowels and consonants

phonetics

the study of how speech sounds are produced, how they are formed, and the acoustic properties of each sound

phonotactic rules

rules governing which phonemes can be combined, and in which order as well as the word position in which they can occur

morphology

the study of the structure of words and the rules for combining word parts to create complete words

allomorph

a variation of a morpheme that does not alter the meaning of the original morpheme

articulation

term used to describe a person’s speech production

the motor aspect of planning and executing the sequences of movements that result in the production of speech

articulation disorder

Difficulty in establishing the placement of the articulators or executing the motor movements needed to produce speech sounds; may reflect an inability to produce certain speech sounds

phonological disorder

A disorder related to the contrastive use of phonemes that is related to the rule-based linguistic function of speech sounds; phonemic inventory may be limited

phonemic inventory

the phonemes that are used contrastively to convey meaning
