11.        Suprasegmental phonology refers to the study of phonological properties of units larger than the segment-phoneme, such as syllable, word and sentence.
12.        The air stream provided by the lungs has to undergo a number of modification to acquire the quality of a speech sound.
13.        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 a different word, but merely a different pronunciation.
14.        [p] is a voiced bilabial stop.
15.        Acoustic phonetics is concerned with the perception of speech sounds.
16.        All syllables must have a nucleus but not all syllables contain an onset and a coda.
17.        When pure vowels or monophthongs are pronounced, no vowel glides take place.
18.        According to the length or tenseness of the pronunciation, vowels can be divided into tense vs. lax or long vs. short.
19.        Received Pronunciation is the pronunciation accepted by most people.
20.        The maximal onset principle states that when there is a choice as to where to place a consonant, it is put into the coda rather than the onset.

III.        Fill in the blanks. (20%)

21.        Consonant sounds can be either __________ or __________, while all vowel sounds are __________.
22.        Consonant sounds can also be made when two organs of speech in the mouth are brought close together so that the air is pushed out between them, causing __________.
23.        The qualities of vowels depend upon the position of the __________ and the lips.
24.        One element in the description of vowels is the part of the tongue which is at the highest point in the mouth. A second element is the __________ to which that part of the tongue is raised.
25.        Consonants differ from vowels in that the latter are produced without __________.
26.        In phonological analysis the words fail / veil are distinguishable simply because of the two phonemes /f/ - /v/. This is an example for illustrating __________.
27.        In English there are a number of __________, which are produced by moving from one vowel position to another through intervening positions.
28.        __________ refers to the phenomenon of sounds continually show the influence of their neighbors.
29.        __________ is the smallest linguistic unit.
30.        Speech takes place when the organs of speech move to produce patterns of sound. These movements have an effect on the __________ coming from the lungs.

IV.        Explain the following terms, using examples. (20%)

31.        Sound assimilation
32.        Suprasegmental feature
33.        Complementary distribution
34.        Distinctive features

V.        Answer the following questions. (20%)

35.        What is acoustic phonetics?（中国人民大学，2003）
36.        What are the differences between voiced sounds and voiceless sounds in terms of articulation?（南开大学，2004）

VI.        Analyze the following situation. (20%)

37.        Write the symbol that corresponds to each of the following phonetic descriptions; then give an English word that contains this sound. Example: voiced alveolar stop [d] dog. （青岛海洋大学，1999）
        (1)        voiceless bilabial unaspirated stop
        (2)        low front vowel
        (3)        lateral liquid
        (4)        velar nasal
        (5)        voiced interdental fricative

31.        Sound assimilation: Speech sounds seldom occur in isolation. In connected speech, under the influence of their neighbors, are replaced by other sounds. Sometimes two neighboring sounds influence each other and are replaced by a third sound which is different from both original sounds. This process is called sound assimilation.
32.        Suprasegmental feature: The phonetic features that occur above the level of the segments are called suprasegmental features; these are the phonological properties of such units as the syllable, the word, and the sentence. The main suprasegmental ones includes stress, intonation, and tone.
33.        Complementary distribution: The different allophones of the same phoneme never occur in the same phonetic context. When two or more allophones of one phoneme never occur in the same linguistic environment they are said to be in complementary distribution.
34.        Distinctive features: It refers to the features that can distinguish one phoneme from another. If we can group the phonemes into two categories: one with this feature and the other without, this feature is called a distinctive feature.
V.
35.
Acoustic phonetics deals with the transmission of speech sounds through the air. When a speech sound is produced it causes minor air disturbances (sound waves). Various instruments are used to measure the characteristics of these sound waves.
36.
        When the vocal cords are spread apart, the air from the lungs passes between them unimpeded. Sounds produced in this way are described as voiceless; consonants [p, s, t] are produced in this way. But when the vocal cords are drawn together, the air from the lungs repeatedly pushes them apart as it passes through, creating a vibration effect. Sounds produced in this way are described as voiced. [b, z, d] are voiced consonants.

同志们，这本书很老啊,可是偏偏那个学校就把这个定为参考书了.
好不容易终于买到了书.
谁有它的听力磁带或MP3呢?
大家谁学的是这本书啊?
谢谢大家了!
