what are the two main classes of consonants? |
1. obstruents 2. sonorants |
|
|
what is the main characteristic of obstruents? |
air turbulence in the vocal tract |
|
|
what is the main characteristic of sonorants? |
voice as the primary source of energy |
|
|
what are the three types of obstruents? |
plosives, fricatives, and affricates |
|
|
what are the three types of sonorants |
nasals, liquids, glides |
|
|
are obstruents voiced or voiceless? |
they are both voiced and voiceless |
|
|
are sonorants voiced or voiceless |
sonorants are always voiced |
|
|
voiceless obstruents produce what? |
air turbulence noise |
|
|
voiced obstruents produce what? |
air turbulence noise + voice |
|
|
consonants that occur before the vowel in a syllable are called what? |
prevocalic |
|
|
consonants that occur after the vowel in a syllable are called what? |
postvocalic |
|
|
consonants that occur in between vowels are called what? |
intervocalic |
|
|
what are the articulatory parameters of consonants |
-manner of articulation -place of articulation -voicing |
|
|
place of articulation? |
the place in the vocal tract where the constriction is located |
|
|
what is the manner of articulation for plosives? |
-complete obstruction of the airstream in the vocal tract -abrupt release of articulators -oral consonants
|
|
|
what is it not possible to do with plosives? |
it is not possible to prolong the production of a plosive |
|
|
how many places of articulation are there for plosivevs? what are they ? |
bilabial, alveolar, and velar |
|
|
what are the plosive consonants |
p & b , t & d, k & g |
|
|
what do voiceless plosives have that voiced plosives do not? |
voiceless plosives have greater intraoral pressure |
|
|
what are the manners of articulation for affricates? |
-complete obsturction of the airstream in the vocal tract -slow release of articulators -oral consonants |
|
|
how many places of articulation are there for affricates? what are they? |
1, palatal. |
|
|
what are the manners of articulation for fricatives? |
-partial obstruction in the vocal tract ~narrow constriction ~friction noise -oral consonants |
|
|
how many places of articulation are there for fricatives? what are they? |
5, labiodental, interdental, alveolar, palatal, glottal. |
