32
Q

What is the place of articulation?

A

Where a sound is articulated

33
Q

What is the manner of articulation?

A

How the sound is articulated

34
Q

What is a consonant?

A

Speech sounds that pair with vowels to form syllables and words that involve constriction (closure of the vocal tract)

Q

If there are 2 constructions at the same time, what is the place of articulation called?

A

Labial velar

Q

What is complete construction?

A

The air is completely blocked in the oral cavity, the air is stopped

38
Q

What manner of articulation involves the complete right closure and then a quick release of the oral cavity?

A

Plosives

39
Q

Plosives create what?

A

A burst of sound

40

A

A tap

42
Q

Describe a trill?

A

A rapid repeated closure

Approach
Closure

Q

What is a period of either silence (voiceless) or buzz (voiced)

Closure in a plosive

46
Q

What part to a plosive sound is the most noisy and why?

A

Q

What is a fricative?

A

When air is squeezed through the articulated making a hiss

What is closed when a fricative is produced?

A

The velum

49
Q

What is a continuous sound?

Q

Where does the air go when a lateral approximant is produced?

A

The air goes through the sides of the tongue

53
Q

Where is the closure in a lateral approximant

A

At the alveolar ridge

54
Q

What are affricates a combination of?

A

Plosives and fricatives

55
Q

What is there a build up of in the nasal cavity?

A

Mucus

56
Q

What happens if there is a build up of mucus in the nasal cavity?
