Q1: Manner, Position and Articulators

Question 1

/ŋ/

Answer 1

velar: back of the tongue nears the soft palate
nasal: complete closure of oral cavity, soft palate is lowered so the airstream is allowed to escape via the nose

Question 2

/m/

Answer 2

bilabial: upper and lower lip
nasal: complete closure of oral cavity, soft palate is lowered so the airstream is allowed to escape via the nose

Question 3

/n/

Answer 3

alveolar: tip of tongue meets the alveolar ridge
nasal: complete closure of oral cavity, soft palate is lowered so the airstream is allowed to escape via the nose

Question 4

/b/

Answer 4

bilabial: upper and lower lip
stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
plosive: articulators part quickly, air is released with ‘exposive’ force’

Question 5

/p/

Answer 5

bilabial: upper and lower lip
stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
plosive: articulators part quickly, air is released with ‘exposive’ force’

Question 6

/t/

Answer 6

alveolar: tip of tongue meets alveolar ridge
stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
plosive: articulators part quickly, air is released with ‘exposive’ force’

Question 7

/d/

Answer 7

alveolar: tip of tongue meets alveolar ridge
stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
plosive: articulators part quickly, air is released with ‘exposive’ force’

Question 8

/k/

Answer 8

velar: back of the tongue nears the soft palate (velum)
stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
plosive: articulators part quickly, air is released with ‘exposive’ force’

Question 9

/g/

Answer 9

velar: back of the tongue nears the soft palate (velum)
stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
plosive: articulators part quickly, air is released with ‘exposive’ force’

Question 10

/?/

Answer 10

glottal: vocal folds and arytenoid cartilages are close together, temporarily stopping the airstream from lungs
stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
plosive: articulators part quickly, air is released with ‘exposive’ force’

Question 11

/dʒ/

Answer 11

palatoalveolar: tongue rises to the area between alveolar ridge and hard palate
stop: stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
affricate: articulators part relatively slowly, producing homorganic friction

Question 12

/tʃ/

Answer 12

palatoalveolar: tongue rises to the area between alveolar ridge and hard palate
stop: stop: complete closure in the vocal tract, blocking the airstream and the soft palate is raised so no air can escape through the nose
affricate: articulators part relatively slowly, producing homorganic friction

Question 13

/f/

Answer 13

labiodental: upper teeth and lower lip
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 14

/v/

Answer 14

labiodental: upper teeth and lower lip
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 15

/S/

Answer 15

alveolar: tip of tongue meets alveolar ridge
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 16

/z/

Answer 16

alveolar: tip of tongue meets alveolar ridge
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 17

/ð/

Answer 17

dental: tongue tip meets teeth
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 18

/θ/

Answer 18

dental: tongue tip meets teeth
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 19

/ʒ/

Answer 19

palatoalveolar: tongue rises to the area between alveolar ridge and hard palate
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 20

/ʃ/

Answer 20

palatoalveolar: tongue rises to the area between alveolar ridge and hard palate
fricatives: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 21

/w/

Answer 21

labiovelar: biliabial and velar
approximant: space between articulators is wide enough to allow airstream with no audible friction

Question 22

/r/

Answer 22

palatoalveolar: tongue rises to the area between alveolar ridge and hard palate
approximant: space between articulators is wide enough to allow airstream with no audible friction

Question 23

/j/

Answer 23

palatal: central tongue and hard palate
approximant: space between articulators is wide enough to allow airstream with no audible friction

Question 24

/l/

Answer 24

alveolar: tip of tongue and alveolar ridge
lateral approximant: centre of the tongue forms a closure with the roof of the mouth but with the sides lowered, airstream escapes without friction

Question 25

/h/

Answer 25

glottal: vocal folds and arytenoid cartilages are close together, temporarily stopping the airstream from lungs
fricative: articulators close but dont make a complete closure. airstream passes through a narrowing, producing audible friction

Question 26

voiced

Answer 26

vocal folds vibrate, arytenoid cartilage firmly closed

Question 27

voiceless

Answer 27

vocal folds and arytenoid cartilages are held wide open
