PART 1 Human speech organs In the spaces provided, fill in the names of the human speech organs numbered in the diagram upper lip lower lip upper teeth tip alveolar ridge 10 blade hard palate 11 front velum 12 back uvula 13 oral cavity epiglottis 14 vocal folds Phonemic representation Work out phonemic representations for the following words, using the convention of slash brackets Remember that phonemic representations adhere strictly to the principle: `one sound, one symbol' Pronounce some of these words to yourself and attempt to write down their phonetic transcriptions next to the phonemic transcriptions Word cat pyjamas cast fission cod through kill cattle shut quite floor there calm heard gang Phonemic transcription /kæt/ /pɪˈdʒɑː.məz/ /kɑːst/ /ˈfɪʃ.ən/ /kɒd/ /θruː/ /kɪl/ /ˈkæt.əl/ /ʃʌt/ /kwaɪt/ /flɔːr/ /ðeər/ /kɑːm/ /hɪər/ /ɡæŋ/ Phonetic transcription [kæt] [pɪˈdʒɑː.məz] [kɑːst] [ˈfɪʃ.ən] [kɒd] [θruː] [kɪl] [ˈkæt.əl] [ʃʌt] [kwaɪt] [flɔːr] [ðeər] [kɑːm] [hɪər] [ɡæŋ] Airstream Mechanism Fill in the blanks in the following passage with the words provided (some words may be used more than once): voiced clicks ejectives velaric voiceless glottalic pulmonic plosives implosives There are three principle airstream mechanisms: the pulmonic airstream mechanism, the velaric airstream mechanism, and the glottalic airstream mechanism In normal utterances in all the languages of the world, the airstream is always flowing outward if the pulmonic ejective airstream mechanism is involved Stops made with this mechanism are called plosives The only mechanism that is used in some languages to produce some sounds with inward going air and some sounds with outward going air is the glottalic airstream mechanism Stops made with this mechanism acting ingressively are called implosives Stops made with this mechanism acting egressively are called ejectives The mechanism that is used in language to produce sounds only with inward going air is the velaric airstream mechanism Stops made with this mechanism are called clicks Stops may vary in their voice onset time In this respect, [b,d,g] are voiced stops, [p,t,k] are voiceless stops PART Underline the correct answer 1/Which of the following is the least common type of airstream mechanism used in human speech production?
