A

Velars are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue against the soft palate, the back part of the roof of the mouth. . Velar consonants in English are [k], [g] and [ŋ].

Q

Dental sounds

A

These are sounds produced using the teeth. In British Standard English, there are only 2 dental sounds you need to know – the theta (/θ/) sound in words like ‘through’ and the thorn (/ð/) sound in words like ‘this’.

A

These are produced by the tongue being pressed against the alveolar ridge. These are sounds like /t/ in ‘teeth’.

Q

Palatal sounds

A
  • These are produced when the tongue is against the hard palate.
  • There is only one phoneme you need to know for your exam, and that is the yod (/j/). You may recall the yod from accent and dialect.

Q

Palato-alveolar sounds

A
  • This group is sometimes called post-alveolar and grouped into palatal.
  • These are produced when the tongue is pressed past the alveolar ridge, but not quite at the hard palate. These are sounds like /ʃ/ in words like ‘shoe’.

Q

Glottal sounds

A
  • These are sounds produced in the glottis.
  • There are two you need to know: the /h/ phoneme in words like ‘house’ and the glottal stop (the missing out of the /t/ sound in words) in words like ‘butter’ making it sound like ‘bu-er’.

Q

Manner of articulation- Affricates

A

Affricates start as plosives and end as fricatives. For example, the /tʃ/ in words like ‘church’.

Q

Manner of articulation- Approximant

A

Approximant is when articulators are brought close together but are not fully touching. For example, the lips don’t fully touch when making the /w/ sound in words like ‘word’.

Q

Manner of articulation- Lateral approximant

A
  • Lateral approximant is produced by air being forced between the sides of the tongue and the tongue being pressed against the alveolar ridge.
  • There are 2 lateral approximant consonant sounds:
    • Clear /l/ (before a vowel), in ‘law’ and ‘leaf’.
    • Dark /ɫ/ (at the end or before a consonant), in ‘all’ and ‘feel’.

Q

Manner of articulation- Plosives

A

These are quick release of built-up air. For example, the /g/ sound in ‘green’.

Q
  • You MUST follow this set order for phonology:
A
  • Voice → place of articulation → manner of articulation → (phoneme)
