18
Q

Manner of articulation

A

Proximity of active and passive articulators vary

  • stop
  • fricative
  • affricate
  • approximant
19
Q

MA: stop

A

Or plosive

Air in tight seal (stop) is released forcefully (plosive)

20
Q

MA: fricative

A

Air is turbulent and not stopped completely

Hiss heard

Q

MA: affricate

A

Air stopped and released gradually

22
Q

MA: approximant

A

Vocal tracts narrow, no hiss

23
Q

MA: nasal

A
