Document Summary
Ling 3p51 chapter 1: overview of clinical phonetics. Phonetics: study of the perception and production of speech sounds. Clinical phonetics is divided into 2 domains: informational and perceptual. Perceptual consists of system complexity, linguistic complexity, and response complexity. Two-way scoring: refers to dichotomous decision making about speech behavior. Clinician decides if a target behavior is correct/incorrect, social acceptable/non acceptable, etc. Easiest and most often used; can be used by parents, teachers, etc. Five-way scoring: whether a sound is right/wrong and what type of error they are making. The 4 wrong categories are deletion/omission, substitution, distortion, addition. Phonetic transcription: concerned with only the description of behavior. Can use broad transcription (use //) or narrow/close transcription (more diacritics; use [ ]) Linguistic complexity: sounds in isolation, word, sentence, continuous speech. Target sound: the sound to be transcribed, as it occurs in isolation or together with other speech sounds.
