Phonetics (consonants) Flashcards
3 ways to describe consonants
voicing, place of articulation, manner of articulation
Places of articulation
Bilabial, labio-dental, inter-dental, alveolar, post alveolar, palatal, velar, glottal
Manners of articulation
stop, fricative, affricative, flap, nasal, lateral liquid, retroflex liquid, glide
[p]
voiceless bilabial stop
[b]
voiced bilabial stop
[t]
voiceless alveolar stop
[d]
voiced alveolar stop
[k]
voiceless velar stop
[g]
voiced velar stop
[ʔ]
voiceless glottal stop
[f]
voiceless labio-dental fricative
[v]
voiced labio-dental fricative
[θ]
voiceless inter-dental fricative
[s]
voiceless alveolar fricative
[ð]
voiced inter-dental fricative
[z]
voiced alveolar fricative
[ʃ]
voiceless post alveolar fricative
[ʒ]
voiced post alveolar fricative
[h]
voiceless glottal fricative
[tʃ]
voiceless post alveolar affricate
[dʒ]
voiced post alveolar affricate
[ɾ]
voiced alveolar flap
[m]
voiced bilabial nasal
[n]
voiced alveolar nasal
[ŋ]
voiced velar nasal
[l]
voiced alveolar lateral liquid
[ɹ]
voiced alveolar retroflex liquid
[w̥]
voiceless bilabial glide
[w]
voiced bilabial glide
[j]
voiced palatal glide
stop
airflow completely blocked
fricative
airflow partially blocked
affricate
stop + fricative
flap
complete obstruction of oral cavity (fast)
nasal
airflow goes through nasal cavity
lateral liquid
tongue blocks air, air escapes around sides of tongue
retroflex liquid
tongue curved to alveolar region
glide
little to no obstruction, almost vowels
