    Study Notes

    Classification of Communication Disorders

    • Communication disorders include language, speech, fluency, voice, and swallowing disorders.
    • These disorders can affect both adults and children.

    Articulation Disorders

    • Characterized by issues related to supersegmental aspects of speech; may include prosody problems.
    • Affects sound production and can manifest in both children and adults.

    Phonetics and Phonology

    • Phonetics: Study of speech sounds, encompassing their description, analysis, and classification.
    • Phonology: Examines the function and patterns of speech sounds within a language.

    Key Concepts in Phonetics

    • Articulation phonetics focuses on how sounds are produced via the speech production mechanism.
    • Phonemes: The smallest units of sound that can alter meaning when combined (e.g., minimal pairs like "pie" and "tie").
    • Speech sounds produce physical audio realities resulting from the articulatory motor process.

    Minimal Pairs

    • Words that differ by only one phoneme, highlighting distinct sounds in phonetics (e.g., "cat" and "bat").

    Allophonic Variations

    • Non-distinctive variations of phonemes that do not change meaning.
    • Diacritic marks: Added to transcription symbols to indicate specific phonetic values.

    Phonotactics

    • Describes permissible combinations of phonemes in a language.

    Phonemic and Phonetic Inventories

    • Phonemic inventory: The specific set of phonemes used by an individual.
    • Phonetic inventory: The comprehensive collection of speech sounds a person utilizes, including various syllabic structures (mono-, bi-, tri-syllabic).

    Types of Disorders

    • Articulation (phonetic) disorders: Disturbances in peripheral speech motor processes.
    • Phonological (phonemic) disorders: Impairments in the organization and representation of phonemes.
    • Articulation disorders show consistency in speech errors, whereas phonological disorders often display inconsistency, often linked to cognitive functions related to the brain.
