CDS 444 Exam 3 – Questions And Correct Answers(100% Verified)
What is coarticulation? Assimilation? What is the difference between the two?
Right Ans - Coarticulation--> the overlapping of the articulators during speech
production; time-efficient process; makes connected speech easier for the
speaker to produce; allophonic variation
Assimilation--> the process whereby phonemes take on the phonetic
character of neighboring sounds; brought about as a direct result of
coarticulation during connected speech; articulatory changes that result in a
new phoneme
What is the difference between regressive and progressive assimilation? What
are other terms that could be used to represent the same processes? Right
Ans - Regressive--> one form that occurs when the identity of a phoneme is
modified due to a phoneme following it; anticipatory assimilation; right-to-left
Progressive--> occurs when a phoneme's identity changes as a result of a
phoneme preceding it in time; perspective assimilation; left-to-right
Define elision, epenthesis, & metathesis Right Ans - Elision--> omission of a
phoneme during speech production; result of coarticulation
Epenthesis--> the addition of a phoneme during the production of a word;
coarticulation, variation in production; speech disorders
Metathesis--> transposition of a sound in a word; "slip of the tongue;" dialect;
speech disorder
Describe the process of vowel reduction Right Ans - full form of a vowel
transforms into a mid-central; the tongue does not meet the true articulators
target in the low portion of the mouth; body of the tongue remains toward the
center of the oral cavity; often not time for the articulators to achieve their
target positions because speech occurs so rapidly; new positions are still
acceptable to the ear; product of connected speech
, What is the difference between a syllable that receives secondary stress and a
syllable that is unstressed? What is the difference in the way these levels of
stressed are marked? Right Ans - multisyllabic words have syllables with
more than one degree/level of stress; some only have one (primary) stressed
syllable
IPA symbol for secondary stress is a small mark below and to the left of the
syllable receiving secondary stress (,)
Schwa vowel is considered the indefinite vowel; makes it a non prominent
nucleus (no stress at all)
How is sentence stress marked? Right Ans - need to identify the one word
that receives primary sentence stress
marked with traditional IPA symbol (') preceding the syllable that normally
receives word stress
stressed syllables of other content words will be marked with (,) for
secondary stress
What is the difference between given and new information? Right Ans -
Given--> old information previously discussed; what came first
New--> providing additional information to what was given
What is a content word? What is a function word? Right Ans - Content-->
words that contain salient information in a sentence; generally nouns, verbs,
adjectives, and adverbs; stressed
Function--> less important words in a sentence; pronouns, articles,
prepositions, and connections; no stress
Define the terms intonation and intonational phrase Right Ans -
Intonation--> modification of voice pitch; modify the fundamental frequency
of the voice while speaking in order to stress particular words in an utterance
Intonation Phrase--> made up of all changes in fundamental frequency
spanning the length of an utterance
