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.
