Document Summary
Sentence largest, coherent sequences of words that express the intended meaning of a speaker. Phrases- small chunks of words that are combined to compose a sentence. Morphemes- smallest unit of language that still carry meaning. Phoneme- the symbols that correspond to the actual sounds produced, independent of how these sounds are expressed in ordinary writing. Phonology-the study of how sounds are produced and used in natural languages. Voicing-a word is voiced if the vocal cords are rapidly opened and closed, producing a buzzing sound. (z) Labiodental- place top teeth close to bottom lip- f and v. Alveolar- place tongue just behind your upper teeth- t and d. Coarticulation- when we are already producing other words and sounds when still going to make the first one. We never utter just one phoneme at a time, they overlap. Speech segmentation- a first step that is prior to phoneme identification, you need to slice this stream into the appropriate segments.
