Manner of articulation and place of articulation Manner of Articulation Manner of Articulation is the “how” of making sounds. how our mouth tongue, and teeth are doing when produce sounds, unless we need the additional support of speech therapy. It’s important to know how sounds are made so that you can pronounce sounds correctly and speak more clearly. 1. Stop or Plosive We build pressure of air and then release it. This is a sudden burst of air. Examples of stops include: /p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/ 2. Fricative We stop part of the air so it can’t come through everywhere.There is a flowing river of air, and you partially block it with your tongue, teeth, or lips. Sounds include: /f/ /v/ /s/ /z/ /h/ /ʃ/ /ʒ/ /ð/ /θ/ 3. Affricate We combine stops and fricatives to form affricates.Examples include: /tʃ/ and /dʒ/. Affricates start with a stop and then transitions into a fricative. 4. Nasal We close our palate and let air stream through the nose. Examples include: /m/ /n/ /ŋ/ 5. Liquid We let air stream on the sides of our tongue. Examples include: /ɹ/ /l/ 6. Glide We move our mouth constantly from a articulation to a vowel sound. Examples include: /w/ and /j/ Place of articulation
Place of Articulation is the where of pronunciation. It is
the location of where sounds are produced. how different sounds involve different parts in the mouth, and how to pronounce all of the consonant sounds in English. 1. Bilabial : Consonants produced by bringing both lips together. Examples : /p/ (as in "pat"), /b/ (as in "bat"), /m/ (as in "mat"). 2. Labiodental : Consonants produced by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Examples : /f/ (as in "fat"), /v/ (as in "vat"). 3. Dental : Consonants produced by touching the tongue to the teeth. Examples : /θ/ (as in "think"), /ð/ (as in "this"). 4. Alveolar : Consonants produced by touching the tongue to the alveolar ridge, the bony ridge behind the upper front teeth. Examples : /t/ (as in "top"), /d/ (as in "dog"), /s/ (as in "see"), /z/ (as in "zoo"), /n/ (as in "nap"), /l/ (as in "lap"). 5. Postalveolar : Consonants produced by touching the tongue to the area just behind the alveolar ridge. Examples : /ʃ/ (as in "shy"), /ʒ/ (as in "measure"). 6. Retroflex : Consonants produced by curling the tongue back to touch the area just behind the alveolar ridge. Examples : /ɽ/ (found in some dialects of English and in Hindi). 7. Palatal : Consonants produced by touching the middle part of the tongue to the hard palate (the roof of the mouth). Examples : /j/ (as in "yes"). 8. Velar : Consonants produced by touching the back of the tongue to the soft palate or velum. Examples: /k/ (as in "cat"), /g/ (as in "go"), /ŋ/ (as in "sing"). 9. Uvular : Consonants produced by touching the back of the tongue to the uvula. Examples : /ʁ/ (as in the French "rouge"). 10. Pharyngeal : Consonants produced by constricting the root of the tongue against the pharynx (the back of the throat). Examples : /ħ/ and /ʕ/ (found in Arabic). 11. Glottal : Consonants produced by constricting or closing the vocal cords (glottis). Examples : /h/ (as in "hat"), /ʔ/ (the glottal stop found in the middle of "uh-oh").
