|
Tap
|
An articulator lightly and briefly touches another articulator, causing a momentary obstruction of air flow.
|
|
|
Plosive
|
Air-flow is momentarily obstructed by articulators coming together, but air pressure is built up behind it. The articulators separate, and the pressurized air leaves the mouth, resulting in a plosive sound.
|
|
|
Fricative
|
Articulators are placed closely together, with a small gap allowing air to pass through, resulting in turbulence (friction).
|
|
|
Affricate
|
A plosive followed immediately by a fricative at the same place of articulation.
|
|
|
Approximant
|
A short sound, caused by a bigger gap between articulators than in a fricative, thus with no friction generated.
|
|
|
Nasal
|
Air is directed into the nasal cavities as a result by the velum being lowered away from the back wall of the pharynx.
|
|
|
Lateral
|
An obstruction is formed by the middle of the tongue and the other articulator, allowing air to pass where one of both of the rims of the tongue is lowered.
|
|
|
Bilabial
|
Both lips pressed together
|
|
|
Labio-dental
|
The lower lip and the biting edge of the upper central teeth
|
|
|
Dental
|
The back of the teeth, and usually the tip of the tongue
|
|
|
Alveolar
|
The alveolar bridge is one of the articulators, and usually the tip or the blade of the tongue
|
|
|
Post-alveolar
|
The area at the rear edge of the alveolar bridge
|
|
|
Palato-alveolar
|
Double articulators: the alveolar bridge + tip/blade of tongue and raising of the front of the tongue towards the hard palate
|
|
|
Retroflex
|
The tip and/or blade of the tongue curls back, and touches the hard palate
|
|
|
Palatal
|
Hard palate and (usually) the front of the tongue
|
|
|
Velar
|
The soft palate and (usually) the back of the tongue
|
|
|
Uvular
|
Small object in the organs of speech: the sounds produced are usually made in help with the soft palate
|
|
|
Glottal
|
Vocal folds pushed together, air pressure builds up behind them, sound resulting when they separate and the air is released
|
|
|
Labial-velar
|
Doubl articulation: the lips and the back of the tongue with the soft palate
|
|
|
Trill
|
Two or more taps in quick succession
|
