Unit 2 The Sounds of English
I. Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false:
1 Of the three phonetics branches, the longest established one, and until recently
the most highly developed, is acoustic phonetics 2. Phones are the sounds that can distinguish meaning. 3 sound(p)in the word “spit” is an inspirited stop
4. Phonology is concerned with how the sounds can be classified into different categories.
5 super segmental phonology refers to the study of phonological properties of units
larger than the segment-phoneme, such as syllable, word and sentence 6. A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if substituting one
sound for another result in a change of meaning. 7 The airstream provided by the lungs has undergo a number of modification to acquire
the quality of a speech sound 8. When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment
which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a phonemic contrast. 9 Two sounds are in free variation when they occur in the same environment and do
not contrast, namely, the substitution of one for the other does not produce different word, but merely a different pronunciation 10. The rules governing the phonological patterning are language specific. 11. Distinctive features of sound segments can be found running over a sequence of
two or more phonemic segments. 12. [i:] and [i] are allophones of the same phoneme. 13. Not all English phonemes have allophones.
Note: /N/ and /j/ occur in one single position and therefore do not have allophones.
14. The same set of vowels is used in all languages. 15. All syllables must contain at least one vowel.
Note: Some syllables may contain no vowels. They may, instead, employ some syllabic
consonant, as in people and muscle. 16. The marking of word stress is arbitrary for the most part in English. 17. English is a tone language. Note: Chinese is a tone language.
II. Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which begins with the letter given:
1 When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word
in isolation, they are collectively known as i_________. 2 A _________ phonetics studies the movement of the vocal organs of producing the
sounds of speech 3 P___________ is a discipline which studies the system of sounds of a particular
language and how sounds are combined into meaningful units to effect linguistic communication. 4 speech takes place when the organs of speech move to produce patterns of sound.
There movements have an effect on the a__________ coming from the lungs 5 The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important
cavities: the pharyngeal cavity, the o_______ cavity and the nasal cavity. 6 Consonant sounds can be either v ________ or v________, while all vowel sounds are
v__________ 7 T_______ is pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration
of the vocal cords and which can distinguish meaning just like phonemes. 8 The qualities of vowels depend upon the position of the t _________and the lips 9 Depending on the context in which stress is considered, there are two kinds of
Stress: word stress and s_________ stress. III. There are four choices following each of the statements below. Mark the choice that can best complete the statement: 10 p ____________ is the smallest linguistic
III. There are four choices following each of the statements below. Mark the choice
that can best complete the statement: 1 Which one is different from the others according to places of articulation? A [z] B[w] C[b] D[v]
2 Of all the speech organs, the _______ is/ are the most flexible.
A. mouth B. lips C. tongue D. vocal cords
3 The sounds produced without the vocal cords vibrating are ____ sounds.
A. voiceless B. voiced C. vowel D. consonantal
4 which vowel is different from the others according to the characteristics of vowels?
A [if:] B[u] C [e] D[i:] 5 __________ is a voiced alveolar stop.
A. /z/ B. /d/ C. /k/ D./b/
6 The assimilation rule assimilates one sound to another by “copying” a feature
of a sequential phoneme, thus making the two phones ____________.
A. identical B. same
C. exactly alike D. similar
7 Since /p/ and /b/ are phonetically similar, occur in the same environments and they
can distinguish meaning, they are said to be
A. in phonemic contrast B. in complementary distribution C. the allophones D. minimal pair
8 Pitch variation is known as ________when its patterns are imposed on sentences. A intonation B tone C pronunciation D voice 9 The sound /f/ is _________________.
A. voiced palatal affricate B. voiced alveolar stop
C. voiceless velar fricative D. voiceless labiodentals fricative
10 which branch of phonetics concern the production of speech sounds?
A caustic phonetics B articulatory phonetics C auditory phonetics D neither of them
IV. Define the terms below: 1. Free variation 2. Allophone
3 International Phonetic Alphabet
4 intonation
5. sonority scale 6 phonemic contrast 7 minimal pair
8 rounded vowel
V. Answer the following questions as comprehensively as possible. Give ex amples for illustration if necessary:
1 what is stress in a word? For words of more than one syllable, how are they pronounced?
2 What are the major differences between phonology and phonetics?
3. Illustrate with examples how suprasegmental features can affect meaning. 4. What does speech sounds for human being?
5 In what way can we determine whether a phone is a phoneme or not?
6. A phoneme can be further analyzed into a set of distinctive features. For example, /p/ is defined as composed of such distinctive features as
[plosive]+[bi-labial]+[breathed] because each of them can distinguish /p/ from some other phonemes. However, the property of aspiration contained in the allophone [ph] does not distinguish meaning and therefore is not a distinctive feature in this case. ASK:
