Question 17

Coarticulation has no contribution in a clinical context.

Question 18

Vowels are voiced nonnasal speech sounds.

Question 19

Allophones are variations of how phonemes are produced.

Question 20

Lingua-alveolar sounds are produced by the constriction of the tongue blade at the hard palate.

Question 21

Describe a situation in which vowels would not be nasal and a situation in which a vowel would not be voiced.

Question 22

Name four primary articulators.

Question 23

What is the difference between anticipatory coarticulation and retentive coarticulation? Provide an example of each.

Question 24

Define and describe the three primary acoustic features of speech.

Question 25

A child, Sam, enters your clinic room. The first sentence he says to you is "Tam like tunny dayd", which his mother translates for you as "Sam likes sunny days"). Based on this short speech sample, which sound class does Sam have trouble with?

Question 26

Compare and contrast the various classification systems that can be used to describe phonemes.

Question 28

Discuss the differences between consonants and vowels.

Question 29

What is the difference between fricatives and affricates?
