    I/ TRUE/FALSE: Decide whether each of the following statements is TRUE or


    FALSE.

    1. Phonetics is the study of how speech sounds in a language are produced,


    transmitted and perceived.
    2. All vowels are either voiceless or voiced.
    3. The rise could be said to give an impression of finality.
    4. When the air moves through the oral cavity, bi-labial sounds /p/, /b/, /m/ appear.
    5. Acoustic phonetics studies the perception of speech sounds.
    6. A vowel is a sound in the production of which there is a complete closure in the
    vocal tract.
    7. The most important thing to remember about all the diphthongs is that the first part
    is much longer and stronger than the second part.
    8. Speech sounds are divided into pure vowels and diphthongs.
    9. Falling tone conveys an impression that something more is to follow.
    10. Stress is defined as the prominence given to certain syllable in a word or to certain
    words by the use of greater breath force.
    11. The tongue is a passive articulator.
    12. When we say a consonant is plosive, nasal, lateral, or affricative, we are
    classifying it according to the manner of its articulation.
    13. An allophone is a smallest unit of sound in a language that can distinguish one
    word from another.
    14. The complete internal structure of a syllable is: ONSET (consonant) + NUCLEUS
    (consonant) + CODA (vowel).
    15. Vowels can be classified into long and short vowels according to the height to
    which a part of the tongue is raised.
    16. The affixes -ese, -eer, and –ee carry the primary stress in a word.
    17. Centring diphthongs are those which end in /i/.
    18. Nasal, oral and pharyngeal cavities function as the principal resonators.
    19. Phonology studies all the speech sounds and the ways in which they are produced.
    20. Allophonic/phonetic transcription is based on the principle "one symbol per
    phoneme".
    21. The term accent is often used to refer to a particular way of pronunciation.
    22. All consonants are syllabic sounds.
    23. Distictive features are particular characteristics distinguishing one distinctive unit
    of sound in a language from another.
    24. Ordinarily is a word consisting of two syllables.
    25. When we add the suffix –ful to an English word such as careful, the word-stress
    will fall on the suffix –ful.
    26. Assimilation is the deletion of a vowel in casual speech.
    27. Sentence stress is greater prominence with which one or more words in a sentence
    are pronounced as compared with other words of the same sentence.
    28. Intonation can be used to serve the grammatical function.
    29. Assimilation is called regressive when the sound that comes first affects the sound
    that comes after it.
    30. Lexical words are usually not stressed in speech.
