Document Summary
Processes - articulatory adjustments that occur during production of connected speech. Source - segment where the feature originated from. Target - segment that takes on a new feature. Coarticulation - articulation of speech sounds are shaped by sounds before and after it. Assimilation - sounds becoming more similar to nearby sound in terms of phonetic characteristics. Nasalization - lowering the velum in anticipation of the nasal consonant, an example of anticipatory assimilation, nasalization of a vowel. Anticipatory assimilation/regressive assimilation - vowel is becoming more similar to the upcoming sound. Palatalization - front-ness of front vowel moves back. Perseverative assimilation/progressive assimilation - previous sound sticks around. Aspiration - beginning of a word before a vowel, or at the beginning of a stressed syllable ** check recent 1z03 slides ** Voicing assimilation - voiceless liquids and glides after voiceless stops (e. g please), these sounds are said to be devoiced. Dissimilation - sounds becoming less alike in articulatory terms.
