25
what are stop articulations
complete closure in the oral tract
26
name the 4 types of stop articulation
plosives, nasals, trills and taps
27
what is the term for the sticture of COMPLETE CLOSURE + VELIC CLOSURE
plosive | [p t k b d g]
28
what is the difference between tap and flap
SINGLE RAPID CONTACT between one articulator and another | -flap = happens in passing
29
define trills
RAPID REPETITION of one articulator and another
30
define fricatives
stricture of CLOSE APPROXIMATION of articulators resulting in turbulent airflow [f v s z ʃ ʒ] "sip"
31
plosives, taps, flaps, trills and fricatives all have...
all have central airflow
32
define laterals
stricure of complete closure IN THE MIDDLE OF VOCAL TRACT = lateral passage of airstream
33
define nasal
like a plosive but NO VELIC CLOSURE
34
Define resonants
- more open than approximants | - have laminal airflow whether voiced/voiceless (sAd vs sAId)
