soft palate is lowered so that the breath stream can pass through the nose (no breath through lips)
-nasal: /m n ŋ/

Question 10

fricative

Answer 10

produced when 2 articulators come together closely enough that the breath stream passing between them is partially obstructed and a noisy turbulent airflow is produced
fricative consonants: /ð θ f v s z ʃ ʒ h/
h sometimes considered a semivowel not consonant

Question 11

affricative

Answer 11

occurs when a plosive manner is quickly followed by a fricative manner, at the same place of articulation

Question 12

approximant

Answer 12

occurs when 2 articulators come close to each other, nut not so close to produce friction
approximants: /w ɹ j/

Question 13

Lateral approximant

Answer 13

this consonant is produced when the breathstream is obstructed in the midline of the mouth, but when the tongue tip/blade touches the alveolar ridge, air is allowed to flow over one or both sides of the tongue
lateral approximant: /l/
