COMD 4381 Chapter : Basic Articulation Chapter 1
Document Summary
Articulators: structures of the upper airway that are used to produce speech sounds. Articulation: movement of speech to vary the vocal tract configurations and make specific contacts between some of the structures to produce speech sounds. Motor movement involved in the production of speech. Phonetics: study of the production and perception of individual speech sounds. Concerned with the classification and physical (acoustic) properties. Phonology: scientific study of the sound systems and patterns. Concerned with the underlying rules governing the sound system: abstract. Articulation difficulty in correctly producing individual speech sound articulations. Motor difficulty: articulators don"t work properly. Contrasts between speech sounds are often intact. Focus: identify all the sounds the child can"t produce. Phonology difficulty in understanding the underlying phonological system of the language. Not a motor problem: problem with learning and using the rules of phonological system. Contrasts between speech sounds are often lost. Focus: identify patterns- categories of sounds that were produces incorrectly.
