  2. Babbling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babbling

    Reduplicated canonical babbling [21] produces a number of sounds but only some of them ("ma ma" and "da da", turning into "mommy" and "daddy", respectively) are recognized as meaningful and thus reinforced by caregivers and parents, while the others are abandoned as meaningless (this is the argument in, for instance, Susanne Langer's Philosophy ...

  3. Phonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonics

    Reading by using phonics is often referred to as decoding words, sounding-out words or using print-to-sound relationships.Since phonics focuses on the sounds and letters within words (i.e. sublexical), [13] it is often contrasted with whole language (a word-level-up philosophy for teaching reading) and a compromise approach called balanced literacy (the attempt to combine whole language and ...

  4. Palatalization (sound change) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatalization_(sound_change)

    Here k originates from unpalatalized /k/ and w from unpalatalized /ɡ/. Some English words with palatalization have unpalatalized doublets from the Northumbrian dialect and from Old Norse, such as shirt and skirt /ˈʃərt, ˈskərt/, church and kirk /ˈtʃɜrtʃ, ˈkɜrk/, ditch and dike /ˈdɪtʃ, ˈdaɪk/.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensions_to_the...

    The Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet for Disordered Speech, commonly abbreviated extIPA / ɛ k ˈ s t aɪ p ə /, [1] are a set of letters and diacritics devised by the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association to augment the International Phonetic Alphabet for the phonetic transcription of disordered speech.

  6. Relative articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_articulation

    For example, the English velar consonant /k/ is fronted before the vowel /iː/ (as in keep) compared to articulation of /k/ before other vowels (as in cool). This fronting is called palatalization . The relative position of a sound may be described as advanced ( fronted ), retracted ( backed ), raised , lowered , centralized , or mid-centralized .

  7. Aspirated consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirated_consonant

    Aspiration varies with place of articulation. The Spanish voiceless stops /p t k/ have voice onset times (VOTs) of about 5, 10, and 30 milliseconds, and English aspirated /p t k/ have VOTs of about 60, 70, and 80 ms. Voice onset time in Korean has been measured at 20, 25, and 50 ms for /p t k/ and 90, 95, and 125 for /pʰ tʰ kʰ/. [2]

  8. International Phonetic Alphabet - Wikipedia

    The letter for the rear articulation is frequently omitted, in which case a k may usually be assumed. However, some researchers dispute the idea that clicks should be analyzed as doubly articulated, as the traditional transcription implies, and analyze the rear occlusion as solely a part of the airstream mechanism.

  9. Sonority sequencing principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonority_Sequencing_Principle

    A good example for the SSP in English is the one-syllable word trust: The first consonant in the syllable onset is t, which is a stop, the lowest on the sonority scale; next is r, a liquid which is more sonorous, then we have the vowel u / ʌ / – the sonority peak; next, in the syllable coda, is s, a sibilant, and last is another stop, t.
