Week 3 Flashcards
Place and manner
Place: where in the vocal tract is the consonant produced?
Manner: how is the outgoing airstream modified?
Supralaryngeal vocal tract
Nasal cavity (nose)
Oral cavity
Pharyngeal cavity
Which sounds are produced when the valum is down? And which sounds are produced when the velum is up?
Nasal sounds
Oral sounds (t f l ae)
How can the oral cavity be shaped?
- For consonants, by making contact and obstructing the outgoing air
- For vowels, by shaping the tongue body in different ways
Active articulator
The tongue is the main active articulator, the part which moves towards the passive articulator.
Passive articulator
The places where the active articulator moves toward. Examples are lips, alveolar ridge, hard palate, teeth, velum, uvula.
What are the active and passive articulators for p, b and m?
Active: lower lip
Passive: upper lip
What are the active and passive articulators for f and v?
Active: lower lip
Passive: upper teeth
What are the active and passive articulators for t d s z n l?
Active: tip/blade of tongue
Passive: alveolar ridge
What are the active and passive articulators for S r 3 tS and d3?
Active: blade of tongue
Passive: post alveolar
What are the active and passive articulators for j?
Active: front of tongue
Passive: hard palate
What are the active and passive articulators for k g and ng?
Active: back of tongue
Passive: velum
What are the active and passive articulators for w?
Active: back of tongue + lips
Passive: velum
What are the active and passive articulators for h?
Active: glottis
Passive: -
How to identify manner of articulation in three different ways:
- Complete closure (blocking air completely)
- Narrow approximation (blocking air almost completely)
- Wide approximation (not making an obstruction)
Manner of articulation of stops
Stopte involve complete closure
Manner of articulation of fricatives
Fricatives involve narrow approximation.
