communication ch 13

five common articulation problems:

-Addition is caused by adding unnecessary sounds to words. For example, a person might say "real-ah-tor" instead of "realtor" or "bolth" instead of "both." -Deletion occurs when a speaker omits part of a word sound, usually at the beginning or end of the word. Someone may say "frigerator" instead of "refrigerator," or "goin" instead of "going." -Transposition means reversing two sounds within a word. Examples include saying "hunderd" instead of "hundred" and "perfessor" instead of "professor." -Substitution is caused by replacing one part of a word with an incorrect sound. A person might say "Sundee" instead of "Sunday" or "wit" instead of "with." -Slurring occurs when a speaker combines two or more words into one. "Going to" becomes "gonna" and "sort of" becomes "sorta."
