II. Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which begins with the letter given:
1. A ____ refers to a strong puff of air stream in the production of speech sounds.  
2．A ____ phonetics describes the way our speech organs work to produce the speech sounds and how they differ.  
3. The four sounds /p/,/b/,/m/ and /w/ have one feature in common, i.e, they are all b_______ sounds.  
4． Of all the speech organs, the t ____ is the most flexible, and is responsible for varieties of articulation than any other.  
5．English consonants can be classified in terms of manner of articulation or in terms of p____ of articulation.  
6．When the obstruction created by the speech organs is total or complete, the speech sound produced with the obstruction audibly released and the air passing out again is called a s________.  <![endif]>
7．S_________ features are the phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments. They include stress, tone, intonation, etc.  
8．The rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language are called s ____ rules.  
9．The transcription of speech sounds with letter-symbols only is called broad transcription while the transcription with letter-symbols together with the diacritics is called n_________ transcription.  
10．When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as i_________.  
11．P______ is a discipline which studies the system of sounds of a particular language and how sounds are combined into meaningful units to effect linguistic communication.  
12．The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important cavities: the pharyngeal cavity, the o_______ cavity and the nasal cavity.  
13． T____ are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords and which can distinguish meaning just like phonemes.  <![endif]>

True or false:
1. of the three phonetics branches, the longest established one, and until recently the most highly developed, is acoustic phonetics.
2. sound [p] in the word “ spit” is an unaspirated stop.
3. Supersegmental phonology refers to the study of phonological properties of units larger than the segment-phoneme, such as syllable, word and sentence.
4. the airstream provided by the lungs has to undergo a number of modification to acquire the quality of a speech sound.
5. 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 differed word, but merely a different pronunciation..
6. [p] is voiced bilabial stop.
7.Acoustic phonetics is concerned with the perception of speech sounds.
