Question Answer
morphemes
start learning
minimal unit of meaning or grammatical function
free morphemes
start learning
can stand alone as single words
lexical morphemes
start learning
ordinary nouns, adjectives and verbs which we think of the words which carry the content of messages we convey (open class of words)
functional morphemes
start learning
functional words in the language (conjunctions, prepositions, articles, pronouns)
derivational morphemes
start learning
used to make new words in the language, often used to make words of a different grammatical category from the stem
inflectional morphemes
start learning
not used to produce new words in the eng. Lang. but rather to indicate aspects of the grammatical function of a word
morphs
start learning
the actual forms used to realize morphemes
allomorphs
start learning
the actual forms of morphs which result from the single single morpheme "plural" turn out to be different
reduplication
start learning
repetition device as a mean of inflectional markingp
articulatory phonetics
start learning
the stud. of how speech sounds are made or articulated
acoustic phon.
start learning
it deals with the physical properties of speech as sound waves in the air
auditory phon.
start learning
deals with the reception, via the ear, of speech sounds
forensic phon.
start learning
it is dealing with the identification of the speaker and the analysis of recorded utterances
consonants
start learning
place of articulation, where the sound is made
(cons.) bilabials
start learning
the sound formed using both upper and lower lips
(cons.) labiodentals
start learning
the sounds formed with the upper teeth and the lower lip
(cons.) dentals
start learning
the sounds formed with the tongue tip behind the upper front teeth
(cons.) alveolars
start learning
the sounds formed with the front part of the palate, near the alveolar ridge
(cons.) alveo-palatals
start learning
the sounds produced with the tongue at the very front of the palate, near the alveolar ridge
(cons.) velars
start learning
the sounds produced with the back of the tongue, against the velum
(cons.) glottal
start learning
the sounds produced without the active use of the tongue and other parts of the month, the sound is produced at the larynx (glottis - the space between the vocal cords)
(manner of arti.) stops
start learning
the sounds produced by some form of "complete stopping" of airstream and then letting it go abruptly
(manner of arti.) fricatives
start learning
the sound produced by almost blocking the airstream, and having the air push through the narrow opening as the air is pushed through, a type of friction is produced
(manner of arti.) affricates
start learning
the sounds produced by combining brief stopping of the airstream with an obstructed release which causes some friction
(manner of arti.) nasal
start learning
the sounds produced by lowering the velum and the airstream is allowed to flow out through the nose
(manner of arti.) approximants
start learning
articulation of these sounds is strongly influenced by the following vowel sound
(manner of arti.) glides
start learning
the sounds produced with the tongue moving to or from the position of a nearby vowel
(manner of arti.) liquids
start learning
the s. formed by letting the airstream flow around the sides of the tongue as it makes contact with the alveolar ridge
(manner of arti.) glottal stops
start learning
it occurs when the space between the vocal cords is closed completely, very briefly, and then realized
(manner of arti.) flap
start learning
the sounds produced by the tongue tip being thrown against the alveolar ridge for an instant
vowels
start learning
they are produced with a relatively free flow of air, they are typically voiced, front versus a back and a high versus a low area
dipthongs
start learning
combined vowel sounds which contain two different sounds, they begin with a vowel sound and with a glide
phonology
start learning
the description of the systems and patterns of speech sounds in a language
phonology permits a speaker
start learning
(to->,) produce sounds that form meaningful utterances, recognize a foreign accent, make up new words, form plurals or past tenses
phonemes
start learning
meaning, distinguishing sounds in a language, functions contrastively
phones and allomorphs
start learning
different versions of a sound type
