    26 CHAPTER 1 Articulation and Acoustics

    all five columns, and put parentheses around the terms that may be left out,
    as shown for the first consonant.

    C. Figure 1.15 a–g illustrates all the places for articulatory gestures that we
    have discussed so far, except for retroflex sounds (which will be illustrated
    in Chapter 7). In the spaces provided below, (1) state the place of articula-
    tion and (2) state the manner of articulation of each sound, and (3) give an
    example of an English word beginning with the sound illustrated.

    D. Studying a new subject often involves learning a large number of techni-
    cal terms. Phonetics is particularly challenging in this respect. Read over
    the definitions of the terms in this chapter before completing the exercises
    below. Say each of the words, and listen to the sounds. Be careful not to be
    confused by spellings. Using a mirror may be helpful.
    1. Circle the words that begin with a bilabial consonant:
    met net set bet let pet
    2. Circle the words that begin with a velar consonant:
    knot got lot cot hot pot
