Answer 2

Behind the alveolar ridge

Question 3

Answer 3

Hard palate

Question 4

Where does the tongue touch if it is velar?

Answer 4

Soft palate/ velum

Question 5

Where does the tongue touch if it is uvular?

Answer 5

Uvula

Question 6

What is involved in a glottal sound?

Answer 6

Vocal folds, glottis

Question 7

What is labial velar articulation?

Answer 7

Double articulation

Question 8

What is the manner of articulation?

Answer 8

The relationship between the articulators

Question 9

What is complete constriction?

Answer 9

The air is completely blocked in the oral cavity

Question 10

What happens when a plosive is produced?

Answer 10

Oral STOP
Complete tight closure in the oral cavity lasting about 40-150ms
Velum is raised
Quick release (burst)

Question 11

What happens when a nasal is produced?

Answer 11

Nasal STOP
The velum is lowered
Oral cavity is closed

Question 12

What happens when a tap is produced?

Answer 12

Single quick closing and opening of constriction in oral cavity

Question 13

What happens when a trill is made?

Answer 13

Rapid repeated closures

Question 14

What happens in an English fricative?

Answer 14

Air from lungs flows through narrow opening (closed velum)

Question 15

What happens in an english later approximant?

Answer 15

Closure with alveolar ridge

Opening at sides of tongue

Question 16

What is an affricate?

Answer 16

Approach = plosive 
Release = fricative

Question 17

How can affricates be produced?

Answer 17

By any combination of plosive and fricative at the same place of articulation

Question 18

What are the five degrees of closure/structure in the oral cavity?

Answer 18

1. Complete closure
2. Intermittent closure
3. Narrow closure
4. Partial closure
5. Open

Question 19

What happens in complete closure?

Answer 19

The active articulator makes air tight contact with the passive articulator and air becomes compressed behind the closure. The velum can be raised (in the case of oral stops) or lowered (nasal stops). The closure is maintained for a short period of time and then released.

Question 20

What happens in intermittent closure?

Answer 20

There is intermittent passage of the air stream through the oral cavity. Rapid vibration of the active articulator against the passive articulator produces the alternate opening and closing of the vocal tract at the place of articulation.

Question 21

How are trills produced?

Answer 21

Vibration is not caused by muscular action. The active articulator, which is sufficiently elastic, is held in such a position that the air stream, in passing by it, will cause it to vibrate. There are several rapidly repeated closures and openings of the air passage.

Question 22

How are taps produced?

Answer 22

There is a single fast closing and opening of the air passage in the oral cavity. The active articulator strikes only once against the passive articulator.

Question 23

What happens in partial closure?

Answer 23

The passage of air through the oral cavity is blocked centrally but is permitted laterally so that air passes around the central obstruction on one or both sides.

Question 24

How are fricatives produced?

Answer 24

There is a very close approximation of the passive and active articulators so that when air passes through the obstruction it becomes turbulent. This turbulence is heard as friction. The friction is produced in the oral cavity between the articulators, therefore both voiced and voiceless fricatives are heard with friction.

Question 25

How are approximants produced?

Answer 25

The active and passive articulators are not close enough to produced friction but they still shape the cavities through which the air flows.
There is usually a central passage of airflow which is not laminar (not turbulent). Approximants are also referred to as semivowels, as they are similar to vowels in articulation but function as consonants. All approximants are voiced.

Question 26

What do open approximants tend to be?

Answer 26

Vowels

Question 27

What is an active articulator?

Answer 27

An articulator that moves (tongue/lips)

Question 28

In production there is usually 2 types of articulators, what are they?

Answer 28

Passive

Active

Question 29

What is the place of articulation?

Answer 29

When we describe where consonant sounds are produced we mention what place in the oral cavity the active articulator is in contact with.

Question 30

What articulators are used when a glottal plosive is produced?

Answer 30

No oral articulators

Question 31

What happens when a glottal plosive is produced?

Answer 31

the vocal folds act in the same way as oral articulators to produce a complete, but brief closure.

Question 32

What is the name of the place of articulation for the sounds /f/ and /v/?

Answer 32

Labia dental

Question 33

When a sound is articulated using the two lips it is called what?

Answer 33

Bilabial sound

Question 34

Two sounds in english are made at the glottal place of articulation, what are they?

Answer 34

‘H’ and glottal stop

Question 35

The following sounds are all made at which place of articulation: /r/ /l/ /s/ /z/ /t/ /d/?

Answer 35

Alveolar

Question 36

The sound /j/ is made at what place of articulation?
