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").
