Question 48

Define Approximant articulation.

Answer 48

Manner of articulation in which the articulators come close one another but not nearly enough as the constriction that creates the fricative speech sounds.

Question 49

Define Affricate articulation.

Answer 49

Manner of articulation defined by a stop-plosive portion releasing to a homorganic and fricative portion. The stop-plosive and fricative are articulated in one movement and considered one unit.

Question 50

Define Fricative articulation.

Answer 50

Manner of articulation that results when the active and passive articulators approximate each other so closely that air is forced with considerable pressure through a narrow passageway. Has a friction-like quality.

Question 51

Define Nasal articulation.

Answer 51

Manner of articulation defined by a complete blockage of the oral cavity; the articulators come together, creating a closure in the oral cavity, and the velum is lowered so that the airstream is directed through the nasal cavity.

Question 52

Define Stop-Plosive articulation.

Answer 52

Consonants defined by complete blockage of the oral cavity; the articulators come together creating a closure in the oral cavity to block off the airflow, which results in a buildup of air pressure behind this occlusion; the velum is raised. Pressure is released suddenly creating the characteristic "explosive" sound of Stop-Plosives.

Question 53

T or F: Labial refers to the bottom lip as an active articulator and the upper lip as a passive articulator?

Answer 53

True

Question 54

Define Central Approximant articulation.

Answer 54

Produced with a central airflow in which the articulators come close to one another but not close enough to cause friction or turbulent airflow. (Liquids)

Question 55

Define Lateral Approximant articulation.

Answer 55

A type of consonant in which air passes laterally over the sides of the tongue, while the tongue blocks the center of the oral cavity.

Question 56

T or F: Lenis consonants do not devoice preceding vowels, but Fortis consonants do.

Answer 56

True.
