Phonetics 101

QuestionAnswer
Place The point in the vocal tract where the sound is made
Manner The way in which the sound is produced
Voice The presence or absence of vocal fold vibration during the production of the speech sound
What has to constrict to determine place? The vocal tract
Bilabial Two lips
Bilabial consonants /p/, /b/, /m/, /w/, and /hw/
Labio-dental Bottom lip and upper, center teeth
Labio-dental consonants /f/ and /v/
Lingua-dental Tongue touching the bottom edge of the upper central incisors or the backs of the central incisors
Lingua-dental consonants Voice and voiceless "th"
Lingua-alveolar Major constriction of the alveolar ridge (right behind the upper central incisors)
Lingua-alveolar consonants /t/, /d/, /n/, /s/, /z/, and /l/
Lingua-palatal Posterior to the alveolar ridge (where the rug are located and where the vault angles upward)
Lingua-palatal consonants "sh", /3/, "ch", /d3/, /r/, and /j/
Lingua-velar Back of the oral cavity
Lingua-velar consonants /k/, /g/, and "ing"
Glottal Opening between the vocal folds
Glottal consonants /h/ and /?/ - glottal stop
When a speech sound is made and manner is involved, what is modified? Airstream
Plosives/stops/stop-plosives Formed by a complete closure of the vocal tract, including the velopharyngeal port, so that the flow of outgoing airstream is temporarily stopped
Plosives sounds /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/, and /?/
Fricatives Directing the airstream through a narrow constriction in the vocal tract
Fricative sounds /f/, /v/, voice and voiceless "th", /s/, /z/, "sh", /3/, and /h/
Affricates Combination of a stop and fricative. Stop occures first then fricative
Affricate sounds "ch" and /d3/
Stridents Affricates and noisy fricatives
Strident sounds /f/, /v/, /s/, /z/, "sh", "ch", and /d3/
Nasals Making a complete closure along the vocal tract but leaving the velopharngeal port open which results in part of the airstream is directed through the nasal cavity
Nasal sounds /m/, /n/, and "ing"
Liquids Vowel-like consonants that have only slightly more closure in their production than the vowels do but the closure is not sufficient (enough) to result in any friction-like noise
Liquid sounds /l/ and /r/
Glides Similar to vowels in their production but include a shift in placement from a more closed to a more open position
Glide sounds /j/ and /w/
Approximants Glides and liquids
Obstruents Sounds that are made with enough constriction of the vocal tract to impede or obstruct the airstream
Obstruent sounds Stops, fricatives and affricates
Sonorants Vowel-like quality
Sonorant sounds Nasals, liquids, and glides
In sonorants, what is produced with the sound? Formants
Cognates Voiced and voiceless pair ---- all onstruents have them
Voiced /b/, /d/, /g/, /v/, "th", /z/, /3/, /d3/, /m/, /n/, "ing", /l/, /r/, /w/, and /j/
Voiceless /p/, /t/, /k/, /?/, /f/, "th", /z/, "sh", /h/, and "ch"
Place names Bilabial, labio-dental, lingua-dental, lingua-alveolar, lingua-palatal, lingua-velar, glottal
Manner names Plosives, fricatives, affricates, nasals, liquids, glides
