    This document discusses classifying sounds based on their place and manner of articulation. It describes various places of articulation including bilabial consonants produced with the lips, labiodental consonants produced with the lower lip and upper teeth, and alveolar consonants produced with the tip or blade of the tongue and the alveolar ridge. It also discusses manners of articulation such as plosives, fricatives, nasals, and approximants. Examples are provided to illustrate different consonant sounds and how they are classified based on these articulatory characteristics.

    Practical Phonetics Week 2

    Classifying sounds: place and manner of articulation


    Where and how sounds are made

    Thinking about sounds


    Say mmmm where is the m sound produced? Its a bilabial consonant (this is the place of articulation) Pinch your nose what happens? It stops: its a nasal (not an oral) consonant Put your fingers in your ears what do you hear? The vibrations of the vocal cords: its a voiced consonant

    Some places of articulation: bilabial consonants

    lips

    p pie b buy m mute w

    wood

    Labiodental consonants
    upper teeth

    lower lip

    fine

    v vine

    Dental consonants
    upper teeth tip of tongue

    thin

    this

    Alveolar consonants
    alveolar ridge tip/blade of tongue

    t tie d n night l

    die

    s Sue z

    zoo

    light

    Post-alveolar / palato-alveolar consonants

    shoe, pressure

    pleasure
    rack

    cheap

    jeep r

    Palatal consonants

    yes

    Velar consonants
    velum

    back of tongue

    k curl g girl rang

    Some manners of articulation: plosives (think explosion) or stops

    Bilabial: p b

    Alveolar: t d

    Velar: k g

    Fricatives (think friction)

    Labiodental: f v

    Alveolar: s z

    Palato-alveolar or post-alveolar:

    Oral

    Nasal

    (Velum is lowered, allowing air to enter the nasal cavity)

    Nasals

    Bilabial: m

    Alveolar: n

    Velar:

    Other consonants
    Affricates (a combination of stop + fricative):

    = voiceless post-alveolar affricate = voiced post-alveolar affricate


    Approximant (articulators approach each other but do not touch): w r j Lateral (also called lateral approximant; air flows over sides of tongue): l

    Summary of Places of Articulation


    Bilabial (lips) p b m w Labiodental (lips and teeth) f fine v vine Dental (tongue and teeth) thin then Alveolar (tongue and alveolar ridge) tdsznl Palato-alveolar (tongue and front part of hard palate) shoe measure cheap jeep r Palatal (tongue and hard palate) j yes Velar (tongue and velum) k g running Glottal (glottis) h

    Summary of manners of articulation


    Plosive / Stop p b t d k g Fricative f v s z h Affricate (stop + fricative) Nasal m n Approximants w r j (central) l (lateral)

    Classifying consonants
    Voiced or voiceless Place of articulation (Central or lateral) (Oral or nasal) Manner of articulation Example 1 : s (sing): - A voiceless, alveolar, (central), (oral) fricative - A voiceless, alveolar plosive/stop = ? /t/ What is /k/? - A voiceless, velar plosive/stop
