Question 2

What are bilabial sounds?

Answer 2

• Sounds formed using both lips
• E.g. pig, milk, big

Question 3

What are labiodental sounds?

Answer 3

• Sounds formed using the lower lip and upper teeth
• E.g. four, vase

Question 4

What are dental sounds?

Answer 4

• Sounds formed by placing the tip of the tongue behind the upper front teeth or between the teeth
• E.g. thin, teeth, there

Question 5

What are alveolar sounds?

Answer 5

• Sounds formed by placing the tip of the tongue on the alveolar ridge just behind the upper teeth
• E.g. tin, sin, nip, din, zip, lip

Question 6

What are palato-alveolar sounds?

Answer 6

• Sounds formed by placing the tongue at the front of the hard palate near the alveolar ridge
• E.g. shin, pleasure, chips, chin

Question 7

What are palatal sounds?

Answer 7

• Sounds formed by putting the tongue against the middle of the palate
• E.g. you, yet

Question 8

What are velar sounds?

Answer 8

• Sounds formed using the soft palate and the tongue
• E.g. Kick, car, sing, tongue, get

Question 9

What are glottal stops?

Answer 9

• 2 sounds that can be produced without using the tongue or other articulators
• E.g. high, horse

Question 10

What are plosives sounds?

Answer 10

• Sounds produced by stopping the airstream
• E.g. p, b, t, d, k, g

Question 11

What are fricative sounds?

Answer 11

• Sounds produced by a partial blockage of the airstream, resulting in friction as the air is forced through the small gap
• E.g. f, v

Question 12

What are affricate sounds?

Answer 12

• Sounds produced by combining a brief blockage of the airstream with an obstructed release which causes some friction
• E.g. church, judge

Question 13

What are nasal sounds?

Answer 13

• Sounds produced when the soft palate is lowered and the airstream is forced into the nasal cavity
• E.g. m, n

Question 14

What are lateral sounds?

Answer 14

• Formed because of the passage of air through the mouth along the sides of the tongue rather than the along the centre
• E.g. leg, log, meal, till
