Phonetics Test #3

The Four Co-articulatory Phases

Elision, Epenthesis, Metathesis, Vowel Reduction

Elision

phonemes are eliminated during production due to particular phonetic contexts. Ex. exactly, camera, friendship,bands.

Epenthesis

additional phonemes are sometimes inserted in words due to:
1) Coarticulation
2) Dialect
3) Speech Disorder
Ex. Ohio, we own, and Chomsky

Metathasis

transposition of sounds in a word due to:
1) "slip of the tongue"
2) dialect
3) speech disorder.
Ex. elephant turned to ephelant

Vowel Reduction

full form of the vowel becomes more like the schwa. Example: [ai kaen go] to [ai k?n go]

Heavy Aspiration

notated with [? ] or c instead of the h. Used with unvoiced stop phonemes that are singletons and stressed /p,t,k/. Example: in the word pot

Light Aspiration

notated with the backwards [?], used with consonant clusters. Example: in the word spot

Unreleased Stops

[ ?] used at the end of a word with a stop that is not released. Example: the /t/ in the word pot

Dentalization

putting tongue on teeth instead of the alveolar ridge. Occurs when an alveolar sound shifts forward under the indifference of an interdental sound. [ ? ] Example: [t?n??]

Abutting Sounds

when the same sound arrests one syllable and releases the next, lengthening usually results. For example "stop pushing" would be transcribed as [stap?????]

Nasalization

the nasalized vowel or stop consonant that is produced with nasal airflow. [ ? ] For example: [m�?n]

Lip Rounding

/k/ is usually unrounded but in the word "creek" it is rounded because of the /r/. [krik] with a small /w/ below the /k/.

Devoicing of Liquids

liquid is unvoiced after a voiceless stop, marked as [ ? ] below the unvoiced liquid.

Clear l

alveolar placement, symbolized as /l/ with an [,] under it. Heard in the word fleet

Dark l

retracted and palatized symbolized as [?], heard in the word lock or leak.

Velar l

tongue contact occurs at the velum; symbolized as [L]; heard in the word talcum.
