    In articulatory phonetics, the place of articulation (also point of articulation) of a consonant is an approximate location along the vocal tract where its production occurs. [1]: 10 It is a point where a constriction is made between an active and a passive articulator. Active articulators are organs capable of voluntary movement which create ...

    The point of maximum obstruction is called the place of articulation, and the way the obstruction forms and releases is the manner of articulation. For example, when making a p sound, the lips come together tightly, blocking the air momentarily and causing a buildup of air pressure. The lips then release suddenly, causing a burst of sound.

    Its manner of articulation is fricative trill, which means it is a non-sibilant fricative and a trill pronounced simultaneously. Its place of articulation is laminal alveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge. Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
