The quiz will be given in class on W Jan 18. You will have a chance to ask questions in class on W Jan 11. The Hayes (2009, ch 1) reading will help you review these concepts. The list of phonetics review links may also help you study.
What to know:
- Parts of the vocal tract (see handout)
- Be able to convert from a mid-sagittal section diagram to an articulatory description / phonetic symbol, and vice versa
- Consonants (see also printable handout)
- Be able to describe the non-greyed-out consonants
in terms of voicing, place of articulation,
oral/nasal, and manner of articulation (type
of constriction)
- Reminder: "approximant" = "liquid or glide"; "plosive" = "oral stop (pulmonic egressive)"
- Be able to convert between IPA and the "American"
phonetic symbols for the the palatal glide and the
assigned post-alveolar (alveopalatal,
palatoalveolar) fricatives and affricates
- Be able to describe the non-greyed-out consonants
in terms of voicing, place of articulation,
oral/nasal, and manner of articulation (type
of constriction)
- Vowels (see also printable handout,
which will be our official vowel chart reference for this course)
- Be able to describe the circled vowels
in terms of height, backness, rounding,
and (where needed) tense/lax
- The above is a modified IPA chart that better reflects current practice in theoretical phonology -- note in particular that "hooktop {a}" will never be used to represent a front vowel in this class
- Be able to describe the circled vowels
in terms of height, backness, rounding,
and (where needed) tense/lax
