Document Summary
Vowels the tongue doesn"t block the air at all, and airflow is completely. Stop consonants the air is completely stopped and then released. Fricatives the air is partly blocked forcing air through constricted space. Affricates begins as stop, releases as fricative. Nasal air goes through the nasal passage. Voiced sounds the cords start vibrating early, usually before the sound is released. Unvoiced (voiceless) sounds the cords may not vibrate at all. Hint: touch your throat while saying the sound. Syntax the order that words have to be placed in, word-order. Children understand a lot more they can say. Syntax refers to the underlying grammatical rules that governs how words go together to make sentences (as opposed to semantics, the underlying meaning) Children learn syntactic structure rapidly, not by explicit teaching but through conversation with they parents and by generalizing from the language they hear. Bound morpheme - /s/ -> books (two morphemes book + s)
