Introduction: Spoken Language
Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized by computer
Spoken language is the main way humans express themselves
Humans spoke before they wroteReason why linguists start with the study of
spoken rather than written language

Made to Speak
Lungs: to supply air for speechTrachea /treɪkiə/: wide pipe Vocal cords: to produce vibrations for
speech sounds. Also known as “vocal folds”(found within the larynx /lærɪŋks/)
Tongue: to articulate vowels and consonants
Teeth: to provide place of articulationLips: to articulate vowels and consonantsNose: to provide nasal resonance during
speech
Contemporary Linguistics:

Sound-producing System
Sound is produced when air is set in motion
Sets of filters modify the sound in various ways Pharynx /færɪŋks/ (tube between larynx and oral
cavity) Oral cavity Nasal cavity

Thinking Phonetically
1. Exercise (p. 53)a) Find four words that show four alternative
spellings of the sound [f]b) Find six words that have the letter ‘a’
pronounced differently.c) Find four words in which different groups of
letters represent only one sound.d) Find two words in which two different sounds
are pronounced but not spelled out.

Phonetics
Definition: The study of the inventory and structure of the
sounds of speech. Analyzes the production of all human speech
sounds, Regardless of language.

Approaches to Phonetics
Articulatory phonetics Studies the physiological mechanisms of speech
production
Acoustic phonetics Measuring and analyzing
the physical properties of the sound waves we produce when we speak

Canadian, American & British Dictionaries
When checking your transcription, be careful: Remember that you are transcribing something that you
have actually heard … so sometimes you just might be right!
Always check if this is an American or British dictionary. Even if it is American, it doesn’t mean that the
transcription is the same as what would be typically used in Canada.

Sound-producing system Glottal States
Glottis: Space between the vocal foldsVocal folds may be positioned in a number
of ways to produce different glottal states

Glottal States: Voicelessness
When the vocal folds are pulled apart.The air passes directly through the glottis.
Any sound produced when the folds are in this position are said to be voiceless.
Put your fingertips to your larynx. Fish Sing House

Glottal States: Voicing
When the vocal folds are brought together, but not tightly closed.
Air passes through and causes them to vibrate.
Any sound produced when the folds are in this position are said to be voiced.
Put your fingertips to your larynx. Zip Vow
Or any vowel

Sound classes: CONSONANTS
Articulatory difference: May be voiced or voiceless May be made with either a complete closure or a
narrowing of the vocal tract The airflow is either blocked momentarily or restricted
so much that the noise is produced as air flows past the constriction.
Consonants cannot be the nucleus of a syllable Ex: “cup”

Sound classes: VOWELS
Articulatory difference: Vowels are produced with little obstruction in the vocal
tract and are usually voicedAcoustic Difference:
Vowels are more sonorous (acoustically powerful) Perceived as louder and longer lasting Ex: “happy”
Vowels can be the nucleus of a syllable.

Shows properties of both consonants and vowels
May be thought of a rapidly articulated vowel (auditory impression they produce)
Produced with an articulation like that of a vowel
Glides can never be the nucleus of a syllable

Consonants: Place of Articulation
Also called points of articulationEach point at which air stream can be
modified to produce a different sound is called a place of articulation
Places of articulation are found at the lips, within the oral cavity, in the pharynx /færɪŋks/ and at the glottis /glɒtɪs/.

Manner of articulation: Oral vs Nasal
Oral: Velum is raised cutting of the airflow to the nasal passages
Nasal: Velum is lowered to allow air to pass through the nasal passages
Both consonants ([n] [m] [ŋ]) and vowels ([ã] [õ] etc.) can be nasal and are generally voiced Example: Sun, sum, sung No nasal vowels in English French: “in” “an” “on”
![Page 59: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Manner of articulation: Stops
Stops are made with a complete closure either in the oral cavity or at the glottis
In English: Bilabial, alveolar and velar oral and nasal stops [p], [b], [m], [t], [d], [n], [k], [g], [ŋ] & [ʔ] Examples: Glottal stop in the sound [ʔ] like in the
expression uh-uh (meaning “no”) or like in some British dialects [ʔ] is heard instead of a “t” (example: bottle)

Manner of articulation: Fricatives
/frɪkətɪv/Fricatives: Consonants produced with a
continuous airflow through the mouthPart of a larger class called continuantsEnglish fricatives:
[f], [v], [θ], [ð], [s], [z], [ʃ], [ʒ] & [h]

Manner of articulation: Affricates
/æfrɪkɪt/ or /æfrɪkeɪt/
Affricate: Non-continuous consonant that show a slow release of the closure.
Affication: A process in which palatalized stops become afficates [ʧ] & [ʤ] Example: Church & Joke
![Page 62: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Manner of articulation: Liquids
Different variants of « r » and « l »
Lateral: Varieties of « l » As laterals are articulated, air escapes through the
mouth along the lower sides of the tongue
English « r » Curling the tongue tip back into the mouth or by
bunching the tongue upwards and back in the mouth
![Page 63: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Manner of articulation: Liquids (continued)
English « r » “Retroflex” [ɹ] or [r] = Curling the tongue tip back
into the mouth or by bunching the tongue upwards and back in the mouth Example: car & ride Transcribed as [r] in textbook
Flap [ɾ] = Tongue tip strikes the alveolar ridge as it passes across it Example: North American pronunciation of bitter &
butter

Manner of articulation: Voice Lag & Aspiration
Lag: After the release of certain voiceless stops in English, you can hear a lag or brief delay before voicing the following vowel Aspiration: Since the lag in the onset of vocalic
voicing is accompanied by the release of air
Transcribed with a small [h] Examples: pat [phæt], tub [thʌb] and cope [ khoxp] Examples of unaspirated: spat [spæt], stub [stʌb]
and scope [ skoxp]

Suprasegmentals: Pitch
All humans have the ability to control the level of pitch in their speech By controlling the tension of the vocal folds and the
amount of air that passes through the glottis Tense vocal folds + greater air pressure = higher pitch
There are two kinds of controlled pitch movements: Tone and Intonation

Suprasegmentals: Pitch - Intonation
Intonation: Pitch movement in spoken utterances that is not related to differences in word meaning
Often does serve to convey information Terminal (intonation) contour
Final intonation at the end = signals that the utterance is complete
Non-terminal (intonation) contour Rising or level intonation at the end = often signals
incompleteness

Suprasegmental/Prosodic properties
Pitch: Tone: Pitch movement that is related to
differences in word meaning. Intonation: Pitch movement that is not related
to differences in word meaning.
Stress: (an) export vs. (to) export (an) object vs. (to) object

James Bond is sent to Jamaica to investigate the
sudden disappearance of the island’s Governor and his
assistant. When he arrives, 007 begins to suspect that
the Governor’s absence is in some way linked to Dr No,
the reclusive owner of a remote island which lies
between Cuba and Jamaica.

Let’s Practice Transcribing
http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/linguistics/russell/138/practice/prelim.htm
Let’s go to “Some longer words” As I read them aloud you will transcribe them in
groups of two I will then ask for someone to come an transcribe
them directly on the website We will then check the Transcriber’s “This is what I
have …”

Speech Production
Is not a series of isolated eventsComplex
Articulatory organs are operating independently of each other
Many fine adjustments are carried out very rapidly as we speak.
As a consequence, speech production often results in the articulation of one sound affecting that of another sound
![Page 102: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Speech Production: Coarticulation
Coarticulation: More than one articulator is active
Example:
The sound [pl] [pl] = [p] (bilabial- no tongue) + [l] (alveolar– with
tongue) Resulting in the tongue moving to the
alveolar ridge (early) during the pronunciation of [p]
![Page 103: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Speech Production: Processes
Processes: Articulatory adjustments that occur during the production of connected speech
Result in : A more efficient articulation A more distinct output
![Page 104: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Speech Production: Processes
Making articulation more efficient Example:
Bank = [bæŋk] [æ] (oral vowel) + [ŋ] (nasal consonant) Anticiption of the nasal consonant [ŋ] results in the
nasalization of the vowel [æ]
Key = [k] (velar) + [i] (Front, high and tense) Results in a more palatal [k]
![Page 105: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Speech Production: Processes
Other examples:
Parade = [pəreɪd] More efficient articulation results in the dropping of
the unstressed vowel [ə] = [preɪd] [p] (voiceless stop) + [r] (voiced lateral) =
Voicelessness carried to [r]
![Page 106: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Speech Production: Processes
Making articulation less efficient Lengthen consonants and vowels when they are asked
to repeat a word Example:
« It’s Fred. » « Did you say ‘red’? » « No, it’s ‘Fffreeed’! »
Greater articulatory effort, but …Results in a more distinct form that is easier
to perceive

Speech Production: Processes
Adding a segment Example:
« Stop screaming! » « What? Stop dreaming? » « I said, ‘Stop sc[ə]reaming!’ »

Speech Production: Common Articulatory Processes
Assimilation: A number of different processes that are the result of
the influence of one segment on another A sound becoming more like another nearby sound in
terms of one or more phonetic characteristics
![Page 109: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Regressive assimilation: Assimilation in which a sound influences a preceding segment (e.g., nasalization in English)
Progressive assimilation: Assimilation in which a sound influences a following segment (e.g., liquid-glide devoicing in English)
![Page 110: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Assimilation - Nasalization Nasalization of a vowel before a nasal consonant is
caused by speakers anticipating the lowering of the velum
Example: Can’t [khænt] [æ] + [n] = nasalized [æ]
Regressive assimilation or progressive assimilation?
![Page 111: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Assimilation - Voicing assimilationDevoicing:
Example of Please [pliz] [p] (voiceless) + [l] (voiced) = devoiced [l]
Voicing: Example of[af] (off or over) in Dutch
Afbellen (to cancel): [f] (voiceless) + [b] (voiced) = [vb] (both voiced)
![Page 112: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Assimilation – Flapping A Process in which a dental or alveolar stop
articulation changes to a flap [ɾ] articulation Example:
Butter, writer, fatter, wader & waiter Example : “I bought it” [ajbɑtɪt]
[ɑ] (stressed vowel) + [t] (dental consonant) = [ɾ] (flap)
Flapping is considered a type of assimilation since it changes a non-continuant segment to a continuant segment
![Page 113: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Dissimilation: The opposite of assimilation. It results in two sounds becoming less alike in articulatory or acoustic terms.
Results in a sequence of sounds that are easier to articulate and distinguish Example: Fifths [fɪfθs]
[f] + [θ] + [s] = [fts]
![Page 114: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Deletion: Is a process that removes a segment from certain phonetic contexts
Occurs in everyday rapid speechIn English, the schwa [ə] is often deleted
when the next vowel in the word is stressed Examples: parade, corrode, suppose
[preid], [krowd] & [spowz]

Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Epenthesis: Is a process that inserts a syllabic segment within an existing string of segmentsExample: warmth [wormθ]
[wormpθ]Example: Something [sʌmθɪŋ]
[sʌmpθɪŋ]
![Page 116: LI 2023 NATHALIE F. MARTIN P HONETICS. Introduction: Spoken Language Language can be spoken, written, manually signed, mechanically reproduced and synthesized.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e1a5503460f94b082a9/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Examples:Warmth [wormpθ] = [m] + [p] + [θ]Length [lɛŋkθ] = [ŋ] + [k] + [θ]Prince [prɪnts] = [n] + [t] + [s]Tenth [tɛntθ] = [n] + [t] + [θ]
Nota: In English the epenthesized consonant are all
non-sonorant, have the same place of articulation as the sonorant consonant to their left, and have the save voicing as the non-sonorant consonant to their right

Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Metathesis: Is a process that reorders a sequence of segments
Often results in a sequence of phones that are easier to articulate
Common amongst children Examples:
Spaghetti = pesghetti [pəskɛɾi] Prescribe = perscribe [pərskraɪb] Prescription = perscription [pərskrɪpʃən]

Speech ProductionCommon Articulatory Processes
Vowel reduction: A process that moves the articulation of a vowel (typically unstressed vowel) to a more central position
In English: Reduction of a full vowel to a schwa [ə] Example:
Canada [khænədə] (stressed vowel = æ) Canadian [khənejdiən] (stressed vowel = ej)
