TEST I: Directions: Read the statements carefully. Write your answer on

the blank provided before the numbers.

1. The production of sounds such as those making the up the

word buzz, the cords are drawn together and made to
vibrate as the airstream forces it away between them.

2. The vocal folds stretch from front to back and regulate the
size of the elongated opening between them.

3. These are sound produced in whispering where the

epiglottis are brought close together, with glottis narrowed.
Examples of these are words uttered that are heard at the
beginning and end.

4. The production of these sounds happen when the air that

escapes through the mouth as well as through the nose is
relatively unimpeded.

5. The production of these sounds, places of articulation

range all the way from the glottis to the lips, the last place
in the vocal tract where the outgoing air can be modified.

6. This term needs to be defined separately for each

language, but in general one may say that it consists of a
nucleus.

7. This is when the air passes through the upper part of the
speech tract where numerous modifications happens.

8. What is IPA?

9. This is a change in vowel quality with the same syllable.

10. This represents most of the common sounds and their

modification. Its various symbols and diacritics can be
used to represent a great many sounds occurring in the
world’s languages.

11. This is the study of the production of speech sounds by the

vocal organs, it is not the only way to examine the raw
 material of language.

12. The other possible way to examine speech sounds for their
physical properties.

13. These show the three dimensions of sounds.

14. This the smallest perceptible discrete segment of speech

which is a speech sound considered as a physical event.

15. These are the sound differences that distinguish words.

16. These are sounds that are perceptibly different but do not
distinguish words.

17. This is the study of the phonetics and phonemics of a

language and of the sound changes that take place over
time in language or in several related languages.

18. These are additional features essential for an utterance to

sound natural and to be fully meaningful, especially stress
and pitch which are lumped together under a single term
which is called?

19. Stress and pitch are essential additional features called?

20. This is a distinctive pitch level which is associated with a

syllable.

21. This is the physical duration of sound.

22. This approach involves a study from within which must be

discovered by subjecting a particular system to analysis.

23. This approach is potentially cross-cultural and

comparative. It may be applied to several languages and
cultures at a time.

24. This is considered the basic unit of story, used in the

comparative analysis of folktales.

25. To supply this term motifeme and allomotif were coined.

26. This is the smallest meaningful segments that make up the

text.

27. This is the principal analytical unit of communicative

behavior in linguistic anthropology.

28. These linguistic units have meanings but contain no

 smaller meaningful parts.

29. The study of word structure, including classification and

interrelationship among morphemes.

30. These morphemes may occur unattached to other

morphemes, considered that they can stand alone as
independent words.

31. This type of morpheme is limited in numbers, examples for

these are called affixes.

32. This is an affix attached in before the stem.

33. An affix that is placed within another morpheme.

34. An affix that follows the stem.

35. These are particular morpheme variants or called

morpheme alternats.

36. A process by means of which the words are formed from

existing ones, frequently by changing them form one word
class to another.

37. A grammatical category expressing how activities denoted

by verbs are related to time.

38. The study of the relations between morphology and

phonology.

39. This is an example of morphophonemic rule with a

requirement that the vowels within a word have a certain
similarity.

40. The occurrence of phonemically unrelated allomorphs of a

morpheme.

41. The specific instances of the occurrence of phonemically

unrelated allomorphs of a morpheme.

42. The internal structure of sentences and the

interrelationships between various sentence elements.

43. This is an operation that adds, deletes, or changes

elements in one structure to produce another.

44. The general statement describing the operation that adds,

deletes, or changes elements in one structure to produce
another.
 45. The study of structure of the words and word formation.

TEST II: Morphological Description

1. Man’s eagerness to pass caused everyone to applaud him after the

semester.

2. All students are expected to give their best to their studies.

3. The hardest moment in life is when you stop fighting to pursue your
dreams.

4. The biggest mistakes that a person may commit is the fact that he/she
thinks she is not capable of making any mistakes.
 5. The girl’s wildness shocked the teachers.
