How a sound is formed
Manner of articulation
Where the sound is formed
Place of articulation
Vowels are produced by..?
Tongue and lip positioning
Consonants are produced by..?
The contact of 2 articulators that obstruct and constrict the flow of air as it passes through the nasal and oral cavities
Primary articulator
Tongue
Where in the vocal tract the air flow is obstructed or partially obstructed
Place
To what degree is the air flow obstructed/partially obstructed
Manner
Vocal folds vibrating when the consonant is bring produced: voiced or unvoiced
Voicing
Having the same place of articulation /d, n/, /p, b/
Homorganic
Phonemes that differ only in voicing /k/ and /g/, or /d/ and /t/
Cognates
Allophones (variant production”lip” and “ball”) of stops. A variant manner of artic in which a sound is formed by a quick tapping movement, in words like: rider, writer, patty, butter
Flap or tap
Consonants characterized by an obstructed vocal tract like stops, fricatives, and affricates
Obstruent
Sounds that are produced in a relatively open vocal tract such as vowels or vowel-like consonants: liquids, glides, and nasals
Sonorants
Articulators approximate a contact point, but do not meet like liquids and glides
Approximants
Instruments made with complete stoppage of air (valve)
Stops
