Approximants

Question 1

Initation (approximants)

Answer 1

Pulmonic, egressive ASM

Question 2

Articulation (approximants)

Answer 2

Open approximation - maintained or momentary

Question 3

Approximants production

Answer 3

Articulators not close enough for turbulent airflow

Intra-oral pressure remains at the level of atmospheric pressure

Question 4

Production of nasals

Answer 4

Maintained complete closure of oral cavity

Velum lowered so air flows out through the nose

Question 5

Production (laterals)

Answer 5

Complete closure of oral cavity

Sides of tongue down so air flows out through non-median channels

Question 6

Lateral fricative

Answer 6

Sides of tongue in close approximation with teeth or roof of the mouth

Question 7

Production (rhotics)

Answer 7

Airflow pushed down middle of mouth

No contact between articulators

Question 8

Production (glides)

Answer 8

Airflow pushed down middle of mouth
Have target configuration but not held
No contact between articulators

Question 9

Approximants that can be maintained

Answer 9

Nasals and laterals

Question 10

Obstruents

Answer 10

Plosive & fricatives
Supra-laryngeal sound source
Air pressure difference
Turbulent airflow
Outer edges of syllables

Question 11

Sonorants

Answer 11

Approximants & vowels
