QuestionAnswer
obstruants vs sonorants obstruent consonants have great constriction of the VT -sonorants are produced with continuous airflow -some consonants, and all vowels are sonorant
3 types of obstruants stops, fricatives, and affricates
what is a stop sound -There is complete, brief closure of the vocal tract. -during closure, air pressure builds (stop gap) -sound releases quickly (stop burst)
how many types of stop sounds are there 5: -bilabial stop -alveolar stop -alveolar tap -velar stop -glottal stop
bilabial stops /b/ and /p/ -constriction at lips
alveolar stops /t/ and /d/ -constriction at tongue and AR
alveolar tap stop very fast, stop-like sound -intervocalic position
velar stops /k/ and /g/ -constriction at velum and back of tongue
glottal stop "batman" -constriction at glottis -always voiceless
what is a fricative sound narrow constriction, still allowing airflow to continue through the vocal tract, but the opening is so constricted that the airflow becomes TURBULENT. -'noisy'
labiodentals fricative sounds /f/ and /v/ -partial constriction at upper incisors and lower lip
dentals/interdentals fricative sounds /θ/ and /ð/ (theta and ethe) -partial constriction at tip of tongue and behind or protruding incisors.
alveolars fricative sounds /s/ and /z/ -partial constriction of tip of tongue to AR
palatals sibilant, fricative consonants /ʒ/ and /ʃ / -airflow is directed over the tongue to create turbulence as it strikes alveolar ridge and/or teeth
glottal fricative /h/ -open VT and narrowed glottis
/d/ and /n/
/b/ and /m/
