![]() See the Glossary entry for Core Speech Assessment Battery There are active articulators which can be moved into contact with other articulators (e.g., the tongue) and passive articulators which are ‘fixed’ (e.g., teeth, alveolar ridge, and hard palate). The principal articulators are the tongue, lips, the lower jaw, the teeth, the soft palate (velum), the uvula and the larynx (voice box). The mouth and throat parts are called ‘the articulators’. Most of the movements for speech take place in the mouth and throat, and the chest where breath is controlled. We can only produce, or articulate, the sounds of speech by moving body parts (by contracting and relaxing muscles), and by making air move. Note that the phonetic symbol for the first sound in the words ‘yay’ and ‘you’ is /j/. In older terminology /w/ and /j/ were called semivowels. The approximants in English are /l/ as in lay, /r/ as in ray, /w/ as in way and /j/ as in yay. The alveolar ridge is the hard, bony, bumpy ridge between the top of the upper teeth and the hard palate.Īn approximant is a consonant made with little obstruction to the air stream. The Place-Voice-Manner (PVM) chart below shows the voiceless and voiced alveolar stops /t/ and /d/, the voiceless and voiced alveolar fricatives /s/ and /z/, the voiced alveolar nasal /n/ and the voiced alveolar liquid /l/. The alveolars in English, as shown on either a Consonant Chart or a place-voice-manner chart are: /t/, /d/, /s/, /z/, /n/, and /l/. This point of constriction is called the place of articulation. ![]() ![]() This movement of air is referred to as the ‘air stream’ or ‘air flow’.Īlveolar consonants, or ‘the alveolars’, are made with the narrowest point of constriction of the air stream at the alveolar ridge. See the Glossary entry for Within Normal Limits (WNL)Īll speech sounds are produced by making air move in the vocal tract. The place-voice-manner (PVM) chart below shows the voiceless postalveolar affricate as in ‘etch’ and the voiced postalveolar affricate as in ‘edge’. The voiceless affricate is ‘ch’, heard twice in the word ‘church’, and the voiced affricate is the sound that is heard twice in the word ‘judge’. See also the Glossary entry for Certificate of Clinical Competency (CCC) below.Īffricates - generally referred to as ‘the affricates’ - are individual consonants made with ‘affrication’. ![]() If an ASHA certified SLP does not have an ACE award, it does not mean that that person has not been earning CEUs. The ACE is awarded only to those who earn ASHA CEUs through participating in the ASHA CE Registry. The Award for Continuing Education (ACE) is a formal recognition of professionals who have demonstrated their commitment to lifelong learning by earning 7.0 American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) CEUs (70 contact hours) within a 36-month period.
