What is the difference between a phonological disorder and a phonological process?

<p>A phonological disorder is when phonological processes continue beyond the age when most typically developing children have stopped using them, whereas a phonological process is a pattern of sound errors used to simplify speech.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the main reason why children use phonological processes in their speech?

What is phonology, and how does it relate to speech disorders?

Study Notes

Speech Sound Disorders

  • Speech production requires coordination of various physical structures and cognitive processes.
  • The main structures involved in the articulation process include the brain, lungs, larynx, mouth, and nose.

Phonemes

  • Phonemes are units of sound in language, classified into consonants and vowels.
  • There are universal phonemes found in all languages, and others unique to specific languages.
  • Phonemes are transcribed between slashes (e.g., /ð/) and combinations of phonemes are transcribed between brackets (e.g., [ðæt] for "that").

Places of Articulation

  • There are 7 places of articulation:
    • Bilabial: lips together (e.g., /b/, /p/, /m/, /w/)
    • Labiodental: lower lip and upper front teeth (e.g., /v/, /f/)
    • Interdental/Linguadental: tongue between upper and lower teeth (e.g., /th/, /th/)
    • Alveolar: tongue tip touches alveolar ridge (e.g., /t/, /d/, /s/, /z/, /n/, /l/, /r/)
    • Palatal: tongue touches or almost touches hard palate (e.g., /sh/, /ch/, /j/)
    • Velar: tongue approaches velum or soft palate (e.g., /k/, /g/)
    • Glottal: sound produced at the level of the vocal folds (e.g., /h/)

Manner of Articulation

  • There are 6 manners of articulation:
    • Stops/plosives: complete blocking of airflow and release (e.g., /b/, /p/, /d/, /g/, /t/, /k/)
    • Fricatives: air escapes through a small passage in the mouth (e.g., /f/, /v/, /sh/, /s/, /z/, /th/)
    • Affricates: combination of stop and fricative (e.g., /ch/, /j/)
    • Nasals: air escapes only through the nose (e.g., /n/, /m/)
    • Glides: sounds like vowels but behave like consonants (e.g., /y/, /w/)
    • Liquids: (e.g., /l/, /r/)

Voicing

  • Consonants can be described in terms of voicing, referring to vibration of the vocal folds during production.
  • Voiced sounds have vocal fold vibration (e.g., /van/), while voiceless sounds do not (e.g., /fan/)

Speech Sounds Development and Disorders

  • Phoneme acquisition is a process that typically developing children follow.
  • Articulation impairments are disorders of speech sound production, characterized by substitutions, omissions, and distortions.
  • Phonological disorders involve difficulties with understanding and applying the rules and sound system of speech.
  • Phonological processes are patterns of sound errors used by typically developing children to simplify speech.
