Quizzes:
Quiz 1: Over
chapters 1 and 2 Should be able to give descriptive terms for
consonants and vowels.
Should be able to identify places
and manners of articulation of English sounds.
Should be able to fill in a blank
consonant chart.
Quiz 2: there will be transcription of nonsense
English-type words. You should be able to transcribe some in broad and some in
narrow (applying the rules of Eng consonants). Also be able to transcribe
English sentence in broad and narrow (which means apply at least 3 of the
rules). Also, answer short question and be sure that if the questions asks
about 2 sounds that you discuss BOTH sounds and dont assume by talking about 1
sound and not the other that I will fill in the blanks. Also, pay special
attention to the difference between voiced/voiceless stops and aspiration and
how all the phonetic details really work versus what we think is going on!
Quiz 3: there will be transcription of nonsense
English-type words. You should be able
to transcribe some in broad and some in narrow (applying the rules of Eng
consonants and vowels). Should be able
to group vowels based on what they share in common (height, front, rounding,
etc). Fill in a blank vowel chart for
English

Quiz 4: Transcription matching; Be sure you know all 4
phonation types (states of the glottis) with example symbols and what the
different airstream mechanisms we talked about are with example; also be able
to discuss VOT with respect to what the difference between the voiced versus
voiceless stops at the beginning of a word in English really is
Quiz 5: A lot to memorize like Quiz 1 with IPA
symbols and articulatory description matching blank
consonant chart and transcription matching
Quiz 6: Fill in a blank vowel chart. Similar tasks to HW 11
grouping vowels together and matching.
Also, transcription matching (will be minimal pairs).
