2. GRAMMAR AND
LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE
GRAMMARthe mental system that allows human beings to form and interpret the words and sentences of their language.
All languages
have a grammar
The two dogs now see several
kangaroos.
The goal of contemporary linguistic analysis is not rank languages on some imaginary scale of superiority.
Linguistics is descriptive,
not prescriptive.
3. SPECIALIZATION
Human capacity for speech is
superimposed on already existing
biological structures.
We do not need to speak in order to use language.

Phonetics
the study of speech sounds
Human Language
display a wide variety of
sounds , called phones or
speech sounds.
two ways of
approaching phonetics
Articulatory Phonetics
-the physiological mechanism of
speech production(how they are produced)
Acoustic Phonetics
-deals with the physics of
speech sounds(their physical characteristics)
International Phonetic Alphabet
-represent each sound of human speech with a single symbol
Devised in the 19th Century to help describe the sounds of languages independently of a language’s orthography (writing system).
Under continuous revision.
Last major revision was in 1993.
SegmentsA phonetic alphabet
represents speech in the
form of individual
speech sounds like p , s, or m .
The Sound-Producing System
Larynx- the sound source where
the vocal cords are located.
Pharynx- the tube of the throat
between the oral cavity and the larynx.
The Sound Classes
Vowels
Consonants
Glides – a type of sound that shows properties of both consonants and vowels
Places of Articulation
Tonguethe primary articulating
organ.
Each point at which the airstream can be modified to produce a different sound.
Labial- Any sound made with closure or near closure of the lipsBilabial- sounds involving both lips ( peer, bin, mouth)Labiodentals- sounds involving the lower lip and upper teeth ( fire, vow )
Dental -some phones are produced with the tongue placed against or near the teeth.
Interdental – if the tongue is placed between the teeth.
this , thy, thing
Alveolar – Within the oral cavity, a small ridge protrudes from just behind the upper front teeth, the tongue mat touch or be brought near this ridge.
top , deer , soap , zip lip, neck
Alveopalatal- just behind the alveolar ridge, the roof of the mouth rises sharply.Show , measure chip , judge
Palate- highest part of the roof of the mouth
VelarThe soft are toward the rear of the roof of the mouth- velum
Sounds made with the tongue in this position.
Call , guy , hang
MANNERS OF ARTICULATION
The lips , tongue , velum , and glottis
can be positioned in different ways to produce different
sound types.
STOPS
are made with a complete and
momentary closure of airflow through the oral
cavity.
Span , ban , man
FRICATIVES
are consonants produced with a
continuous airflow through the mouth.
Fat , vat
AFFRICATES When a stop is released,
the tongue moves rapidly away from the point of articulation.
noncontinuant consonants show a slow release of the closure
church , jump
LIQUIDS
Among the sounds commonly found in
the world’s languages are l and r.
Simple Vowels and Diphthongs
English vowels are divided into simple vowels and
diphthongs
Vowels
Pit , set , cat , dog , but , put
Diphthongsare vowels that
exhibit a change in quality within a single syllable.
Say , buy , cow , ice , go , boy
Cat , black
met , bed
See , heat
