Lecture 2: The sounds of language

Physiological adaptation:

Phonetics – the science and study of speech sounds

articulatory phonetics the study of how speech sounds are articulated

acoustic phonetics the study of physical properties of speech as sound waves “in the air”

auditory phonetics the study of how speech sounds are perceived vid the ear

forensic phonetics in legal cases the study of recorded utterances and speaker identification

Segmental features – sounds in words

Words/phrases are continuous sounds – we pause to take a breath, yet speakers of language can separate them into words.

key pout keep out

grade A gray day

I scream ice-cream

The Phonetic Alphabet

Did he believe that Caesar could see the people seize the seas.

bomb, knife, island, sword, psychology, autumn

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) 1888

Schwa – not stressed, appeared in unstressed syllables (doctor-)

Articulatory Phonetics (how are sounds produced)

Vocal tract glottis (the opening between the vocal cords) larynx pharynx mouth cavity (=the mouth) nasal cavity

I Consonants

Aspiration of voiceless sounds

Nasal and oral sounds

oral sounds – the air escapes through the oral cavity (e.g. /b/)

nasal sounds – the air escapes through the nasal cavity

II Vowels

pronounced with no significant blockage of the air, different parts of the tongue in the mouth take different positions, they may be high or low. Lips may be spread or pursed, the velum may be raised or lowered/

Two groups:

monophthongs (simple vowels)

diphthongs ( a sequence of two sounds vowel + glide)

Lips rounding

rounded (in bore,  in shoot)

unrounded (/in bath,  in sneeze)

Tense and lax vowels

 and are produced with greater tension of the tongue muscles and they are a little longer. They are tense vowels.

Tense vowels Lax vowels

beat bit

 bait bet

boot put

boat bore

Continuants and noncontinuants

hard

(podniebienie twarde)

(podniebienie miękkie)

(łuk zębowy) (języczek podniebny)

(gardło)

epiglottis

(krtań)

trachea oesophagus

Obstruents and sonorants
