This study found a significant link between phonemic awareness and lingual awareness in adults. Greater knowledge of speech sounds correlates with better tongue awareness, with sound-symbol knowledge being a key predictor.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Speech Science
  • Phonetics

Background:

  • Phonemic awareness, the ability to recognize and manipulate speech sounds, is crucial for literacy development.
  • Lingual awareness, or the perception of tongue movements and contact during speech, is less understood in adults.
  • This study investigates the relationship between these two awareness types in normal adult English speakers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the relationship between phonemic awareness and lingual awareness in adults.
  • To examine how accurately subjects describe lingual contact during speech production.

Main Methods:

  • 36 undergraduate phonetics students completed tests measuring phonemic awareness (e.g., sound identification, manipulation) and lingual awareness (e.g., describing tongue position and contact).

  • Seven English phonemes were presented in consonant-vowel syllables, with subjects using diagrams of the oral cavity for reference.
  • Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the two measures.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant positive correlation (r = .53) was found between phonemic awareness and lingual awareness.
    • Knowledge of sound-symbol relationships was the strongest predictor of lingual awareness.
    • Subjects experienced the most difficulty describing lingual contact for phonemes often challenging for children (e.g., /sh/, /r/, /l/, /s/).

    Conclusions:

    • Adults with higher phonemic awareness tend to have greater lingual awareness.
    • Understanding sound-symbol relationships may enhance lingual awareness.
    • Difficulties in describing lingual contact for certain phonemes may reflect underlying articulatory challenges.
