Chapter 2 Speech Sounds

2.1 Speech production and perception

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds. It includes three main areas:

1. Articulatory phonetics – the study of the production of speech sounds

2. Acoustic phonetics –the study of the physical properties of the sounds produced in

speech

3. Auditory phonetics – the study of perception of speech sounds

Most phoneticians are interested in articulatory phonetics.

2.2 Speech organs

Speech organs are those parts of the human body involved in the production of speech. The speech organs can be considered as consisting of three parts: the initiator of the air stream, the producer of voice and the resonating cavities.

2.3 Segments, divergences, and phonetic transcription

2.3.1 Segments and divergences

As there are more sounds in English than its letters, each letter must represent more than one sound.

2.3.2 Phonetic transcription

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): the system of symbols for representing the pronunciation of words in any language according to the principles of the International

Phonetic Association. The symbols consists of letters and diacritics. Some letters are

taken from the Roman alphabet, some are special symbols.

2.4 Consonants

2.4.1 Consonants and vowels

A consonant is produced by constricting or obstructing the vocal tract at some

places to divert, impede, or completely shut off the flow of air in the oral cavity.

A vowel is produced without obstruction so no turbulence or a total stopping of the

air can be perceived.

2.4.2 Consonants

The categories of consonant are established on the basis of several factors. The most important of these factors are:

1. the actual relationship between the articulators and thus the way in which the

air passes through certain parts of the vocal tract (manner of articulation);

2. where in the vocal tract there is approximation, narrowing, or the obstruction

of the air (place of articulation).

2.4.3 Manners of articulation

1. Stop/plosive: A speech sound which is produced by stopping the air stream

from the lungs and then suddenly releasing it. In English,

[?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?] are stops and [?? ?? ?]

are nasal stops.

2. Fricative: A speech sound which is produced by allowing the air stream from

the lungs to escape with friction. This is caused by bringing the two

articulators, e.g. the upper teeth and the lower lip, close together but not

closes enough to stop the airstreams completely. In English,

[?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?] are fricatives.

3. (Median) approximant: An articulation in which one articulator is close to

another, but without the vocal tract being narrowed to such an extent that a

turbulent airstream is produced. In English this class of sounds includes

[?? ?? ?].

4. Lateral (approximant): A speech sound which is produced by partially

blocking the airstream from the lungs, usually by the tongue, but letting it

escape at one or both sides of the blockage. [●] is the only lateral in English.

Other consonantal articulations include trill, tap or flap, and affricate.

2.4.4 Places of articulation

1. Bilabial: A speech sound which is made with the two lips.

2. Labiodental: A speech sound which is made with the lower lip and the upper

front teeth.

3. Dental: A speech sound which is made by the tongue tip or blade and the

upper front teeth.

4. Alveolar: A speech sound which is made with the tongue tip or blade and the

alveolar ridge.

5. Postalveolar: A speech sound which is made with the tongue tip and the back

of the alveolar ridge.

6. Retroflex: A speech sound which is made with the tongue tip or blade curled

back so that the underside of the tongue tip or blade forms a stricture with the

back of the alveolar ridge or the hard palate.

7. Palatal: A speech sound which is made with the front of the tongue and the

hard palate.

8. Velar: A speech sound which is made with the back of the tongue and the soft

palate.

9. Uvular: A speech sound which is made with the back of the tongue and the

uvula, the short projection of the soft tissue and muscle at the posterior end of

the velum.

10. Pharyngeal: A speech sound which is made with the root of the tongue and the

walls of the pharynx.

11. Glottal: A speech sound which is made with the two pieces of vocal folds

pushed towards each other.

2.4.5 The consonants of English

Received Pronunciation (RP): The type of British Standard English pronunciation which has been regarded as the prestige variety and which shows no regional variation.

It has often been popularly referred to as “BBC English” or “Oxford English” because it is widely used in the private sector of the education system and spoken by most newsreaders of the BBC network.

articulation. These pairs of consonants are distinguished by voicing, the one appearing

on the left is voiceless and the one on the right is voiced.

Therefore, the consonants of English can be described in the following way:

[p] voiceless bilabial stop

[b] voiced bilabial stop

[s] voiceless alveolar fricative

[z] voiced alveolar fricative

[m] bilabial nasal

[n] alveolar nasal

[l] alveolar lateral

[j] palatal approximant

[h] glottal fricative

[r] alveolar approximant

2.5 Vowels

2.5.1 The criteria of vowel description

1. The part of the tongue that is raised – front, center, or back.

2. The extent to which the tongue rises in the direction of the palate. Normally,

three or four degrees are recognized: high, mid (often divided into mid-high

and mid-low) and low.

3. The kind of opening made at the lips –various degrees of lip rounding or

spreading.

4. The position of the soft palate –raised for oral vowels, and lowered for

vowels which have been nasalized.

2.5.2 The theory of cardinal vowels

[Icywarmtea doesn’t quite understand this theory.]

Cardinal vowels are a set of vowel qualities arbitrarily defined, fixed and

unchanging, intending to provide a frame of reference for the description of the actual

vowels of existing languages.

By convention, the eight primary cardinal vowels are numbered from one to eight as follows: CV1[?], CV2[?], CV3[?], CV4[?], CV5[ ], CV6[ ], CV7[?],

CV8[◆].

A set of secondary cardinal vowels is obtained by reversing the lip-rounding for a

give position: CV9 – CV16. [I am sorry I cannot type out many of these. If you want to

know, you may consult the textbook p. 47. – icywarmtea]

2.5.3 Vowel glides

Pure (monophthong) vowels: vowels which are produced without any noticeable change in vowel quality.

V owel glides: V owels where there is an audible change of quality.

Diphthong: A vowel which is usually considered as one distinctive vowel of a particular language but really involves two vowels, with one vowel gliding to the other.

2.5.4 The vowels of RP

[??] high front tense unrounded vowel

[◆] high back lax rounded vowel

[?] central lax unrounded vowel

[ ] low back lax rounded vowel

2.6 Coarticulation and phonetic transcription

2.6.1 Coarticulation

Coarticulation: The simultaneous or overlapping articulation of two successive phonological units.

Anticipatory coarticulation: If the sound becomes more like the following sound, as in the case of lamp, it is known as anticipatory coarticulation.

Perseverative coarticulation: If the sound displays the influence of the preceding sound, as in the case of map, it is perseverative coarticulation.

Nasalization: Change or process by which vowels or consonants become nasal.

Diacritics: Any mark in writing additional to a letter or other basic elements.

2.6.2 Broad and narrow transcriptions

The use of a simple set of symbols in our transcription is called a broad transcription. The use of more specific symbols to show more phonetic detail is referred

to as a narrow transcription. The former was meant to indicate only these sounds

capable of distinguishing one word from another in a given language while the latter

was meant to symbolize all the possible speech sounds, including even the minutest

shades of pronunciation.

2.7 Phonological analysis

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds. It includes three main areas: articulatory phonetics,

acoustic phonetics, and auditory phonetics. On the other hand, phonology studies the rules governing the structure, distribution, and sequencing of speech sounds and the shape of syllables. There is a fair degree of overlap in what concerns the two subjects, so sometimes it is hard to draw the boundary between them. Phonetics is the study of all possible speech sounds while phonology studies the way in which speakers of a language systematically use a selection of these sounds in order to express meaning. That is to say, phonology is concerned with the linguistic patterning of sounds in human languages, with its primary aim being to discover the principles that govern the way sounds are organized in languages, and to explain the variations that occur. 2.8 Phonemes and allophones

2.8.1 Minimal pairs

Minimal pairs are two words in a language which differ from each other by only one distinctive sound and which also differ in meaning. E.g. the English words tie and

die are minimal pairs as they differ in meaning and in their initial phonemes /t/ and /d/.

By identifying the minimal pairs of a language, a phonologist can find out which sound

substitutions cause differences of meaning.

2.8.2 The phoneme theory

2.8.3 Allophones

A phoneme is the smallest linguistic unit of sound that can signal a difference in

meaning. Any of the different forms of a phoneme is called its allophones. E.g. in

English, when the phoneme /?/ occurs at the beginning of the word like peak

/????/, it is said with a little puff of air, it is aspirated. But when /?/ occurs in the

word like speak /?????/, it is said without the puff of the air, it is unaspirated. Both

the aspirated [??] in peak and the unaspirated [?=] in speak have the same phonemic

function, i.e. they are both heard and identified as /?/ and not as /?/; they are both

allophones of the phoneme /?/.

2.9 Phonological processes

2.9.1 Assimilation

Assimilation: A process by which one sound takes on some or all the characteristics of a neighboring sound.

Regressive assimilation: If a following sound is influencing a preceding sound, we call it regressive assimilation.

Progressive assimilation: If a preceding sound is influencing a following sound, we call it progressive assimilation.

Devoicing: A process by which voiced sounds become voiceless. Devoicing of voiced consonants often occurs in English when they are at the end of a word.

2.9.2 Phonological processes and phonological rules

The changes in assimilation, nasalization, dentalization, and velarization are all phonological processes in which a target or affected segment undergoes a structural

change in certain environments or contexts. In each process the change is conditioned or

triggered by a following sound or, in the case of progressive assimilation, a preceding

sound. Consequently, we can say that any phonological process must have three aspects

to it: a set of sounds to undergo the process; a set of sounds produced by the process; a

set of situations in which the process applies.

We can represent the process by mans of an arrow: voiced fricative →voiceless / __________ voiceless. This is a phonological rule. The slash (/) specifies the

environment in which the change takes place. The bar (called the focus bar) indicates

the position of the target segment. So the rule reads: a voiced fricative is transformed

into the corresponding voiceless sound when it appears before a voiceless sound.

2.9.3 Rule ordering

[No much to say, so omitted – icywarmtea]

2.10 Distinctive features

Distinctive feature: A particular characteristic which distinguishes one distinctive sound unit of a language from another or one group of sounds from another group.

Binary feature: A property of a phoneme or a word which can be used to describe the phoneme or word. A binary feature is either present or absent. Binary features are also used to describe the semantic properties of words.

2.11 Syllables

Suprasegmental features: Suprasegmental features are those aspects of speech that involve more than single sound segments. The principal suprasegmental features are syllables, stress, tone, and intonation.

Syllable: A unit in speech which is often longer than one sound and smaller than a whole word.

Open syllable: A syllable which ends in a vowel.

Closed syllable: A syllable which ends in a consonant.

Maximal onset principle: The principle which states that when there is a choice as to where to place a consonant, it is put into the onset rather than the coda. E.g. The correct syllabification of the word country should be / ??????/. It shouldn’t be / ??????/ or / ??????/ according to this principle.

2.12 Stress

Stress refers to the degree of force used in producing a syllable. In transcription, a raised vertical line [ ] is used just before the syllable it relates to.

Chapter 1 Invitations to Linguistics 1.3 Design features of language The features that define our human languages can be called design features which can distinguish human language from any animal system of communication. 1.3.1 Arbitrariness Arbitrariness refers to the fact that the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meanings. 1.3.2 Duality Duality refers to the property of having two levels of structures, such that units of the primary level are composed of elements of the secondary level and each of the two levels has its own principles of organization. 1.3.3 Creativity Creativity means that language is resourceful because of its duality and its recursiveness. Recursiveness refers to the rule which can be applied repeatedly without any definite limit. The recursive nature of language provides a theoretical basis for the possibility of creating endless sentences. 1.3.4 Displacement Displacement means that human languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are not present (in time and space) at the moment of conversation. 加1 Each sound in the language is treated as discrete. 加2 the direct/non-arbitrary/non-symbolic relation between meaning and form. There are resemblances between the language form and what they refer to. That relationship is called icon. Iconicity exists in sounds, lexicons and syntax. It is the motivation between language forms and meanings. It is a relation of resemblance between language form and what they refer to. 1.5 Functions of language As is proposed by Jacobson, language has six functions: 1. Referential: to convey message and information; 2. Poetic: to indulge in language for its own sake; 3. Emotive: to express attitudes, feelings and emotions; 4. Conative: to persuade and influence others through commands and entreaties; 5. Phatic: to establish communion with others; 6. Metalingual: to clear up intentions, words and meanings. three metafunctions: 1. function: to convey new information, to communicate a content that is

语言学重要知识点(胡壮麟版)

Language is a means of verbal communication. It is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. 1.Design features of language The features that define our human languages can be called design features which can distinguish human language from any animal system of communication.Arbitrariness refers to the fact that the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meanings.eg.the dog barks wowwow in english but 汪汪汪in chinese.Duality refers to the property of having two levels of structures, such that units of the primary level are composed of elements of the secondary level and each of the two levels has its own principles of organization.eg.dog-woof(but not w-oo-f)Creativity means that language is resourceful because of its duality and its recursiveness. Eg. An experiment of bee communication.Displacement means that human languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are not present (in time and space) at the moment of communication. 3. Origin of language The bow-wow theory In primitive times people imitated the sounds of the animal calls in the wild environment they lived and speech developed from that.The pooh-pooh theory In the hard life of our primitive ancestors, they utter instinctive sounds of pains, anger and joy which gradually developed into language. The “yo-he-ho” theory As primitive people worked together, they produced some rhythmic grunts which gradually developed into chants and then into language. 4.Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It studies not just one language of any one community, but the language of all human beings. 5. Main branches of linguistics ?Phonetics is the study of speech sounds, it includes three main areas: articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics, and auditory phonetics. ?Phonology studies the rules governing the structure, distribution, and sequencing of speech sounds and the shape of syllables. ?Morphology studies the minimal units of meaning – morphemes and word-formation processes. ?Syntax refers to the rules governing the way words are combined to form sentences in a language, or simply, the study of the formation of sentences. ?Semantics examines how meaning is encoded in a language. It is concerned with both meanings of words as lexical items and levels of language below the word and above it. ?Pragmatics is the study of meaning in context. It concerned with the way language is used to communicate rather than with the way language is structured. 6.Important distinctions in linguistics 1)Descriptive vs. prescriptive For example, ―Don’t say X.‖ is a prescriptive command; ―People don’t say X.‖ is a descriptive statement. The distinction lies in prescribing how things ought to be and describing how things are.Lyons 2)Synchronic vs. diachronic A synchronic study takes a fixed instant (usually at present) as its point of observation. Saussure’s diachronic description is the study of a language through the course of its history. E.g. a study of the features of the English used in Shakespeare’s time would be synchronic, and a study of the changes English has undergone since then would be a diachronic study. 3)Langue & parole langue: the linguistic competence of the speaker. parole: the actual phenomena or data of linguistics(utterances). Saussure 4)Competence and performance According to Chomsky,a language user’s underlying knowledge about the system of rules is called the linguistic competence, and the actual use of language in concrete situations is called performance. Competence 7.consonant is produced by constricting or obstructing the vocal tract at some places to divert, impede, or

英语语言学教程(胡壮麟版).

英语语言学教程(胡壮麟版) Chapter one. Invitation to Linguistic. 1.What is language? “Language is system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. It is a system, since linguistic elements are arranged systematically, rather than randomly. Arbitrary, in the sense that there is usually no intrinsic connection between a work (like “book”) and the object it refers to. This explains and is explained by the fact that different languages have different “books”: “book” in English, “livre” in French, “shu” in Ch inese. It is symbolic, because words are associated with objects, actions, ideas etc. by nothing but convention. Namely, people use the sounds or vocal forms to symbolize what they wish to refer to. It is vocal, because sound or speech is the primary medium for all human languages. Writing systems came much later than the spoken forms. The fact that small children learn and can only learn to speak (and listen) before they write (and read) also indicates that language is primarily vocal, rather than written. The term “human” in the definition is meant to specify that language is human specific. 2.Design Features of Language. “Design features” here refer to the defining properties of human language that tell the difference between human language and any system of animal communication. They are arbitrariness, duality, productivity, displacement, cultural transmission and interchangeability (1)Arbitrariness: By “arbitrariness”, we mean there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds. (2)Duality: The property of having two levels of structures (phonological and grammatical), units of the primary level being composed of elements of the secondary level and each level having its own principles of organization. (3)Productivity: Productivity refers to the ability to the ability to construct and understand an indefinitely large number of sentences in one’s native language, including those that has never heard before, but that are appropriate to the speaking situation. The property that enables native speakers to construct and understand an indefinitely large number of utterances, including utterances that they have never previously encountered. (4)Displacement: “Displacement”, as one of the design features of the human language, refers to the fact that one can talk about things that are not present, as easily as he does things present. In other words, one can refer to real and unreal things, things of the past, of the present, of the future. Language itself can be talked about too. (5)Cultural transmission: This means that language is not biologically transmitted from generation to generation, but that the details of the linguistic system must be learned anew by each speaker. (6)Interchangeability: Interchangeability means that any human being can be both a producer and a receiver of messages. 3.Functions of Language. Language has at least seven functions: phatic, directive, Informative, interrogative, expressive, evocative and performative. (1)Phatic function: The “phatic function” refers to language being used for setting up a certain atmosphere or maintaining social contacts (rather than for exchanging information or ideas). Greetings, farewells, and comments on the weather in English and on clothing in Chinese all serve this function. (2)Directive function: The “directive function” means that language may be used to get the hearer

Chapter 6 Language Processing in Mind 6.1 Introduction 1. Language is a mirror of the mind in a deep and significant sense. 2. Language is a product of human intelligence, created a new in each individual by operation that lie far beyond the reach of will or consciousness. 3. Psycholinguistics “proper” can perhaps be glossed as the storage, comprehension, production and acquisition of language in any medium (spoken or written). 4. Psycholinguistics is concerned primarily with investigating the psychological reality of linguistic structures. 5. The differences between psycholinguistics and psychology of language. Psycholinguistics can be defined as the storage, comprehension, production and acquisition of language in any medium (spoken or written). It is concerned primarily with investigating the psychological reality of linguistic structures. On the other hand, the psychology of language deals with more general topics such as the extent to which language shapes thought, and from the psychology of communication, includes non-verbal communication such as gestures and facial expressions. 6. Cognitive psycholinguistics: Cognitive psycholinguistics is concerned above all with making inferences about the content of the human mind. 7. Experimental psycholinguistics: Experimental psycholinguistics is mainly concerned with empirical matters, such as speed of response to a particular word. 6.1.1 Evidence 1. Linguists tend to favor descriptions of spontaneous speech as their main source of evidence, whereas psychologists mostly prefer experimental studies. 2. The subjects of psycholinguistic investigation are normal adults and children on the one hand, and aphasics----people with speech disorders-----on the other. The primary assumption with regard to aphasic patient that a breakdown in some part of language could lead to an understanding of which components might be independent of others. 6.1.2 Current issues 1. Modular theory: Modular theory assumes that the mind is structured into separate modules or components, each governed by its own principles and operating independently of others. 2. Cohort theory: The cohort theory hypothesizes that auditory word recognition begins with the formation of a group of words at the perception of the initial sound and proceeds sound by sound with the cohort of words decreasing as more sounds are perceived. This theory can be expanded to deal with written materials as well. Several experiments have supported this view of word
