A dental consonant is a consonant articulated with the tongue against the upper teeth, such as /θ/, /ð/.In some languages, dentals are distinguished from other groups, such as alveolar consonants, in which the tongue contacts the gum ridge.
Coronal places of articulation include the dental consonants at the upper teeth, the alveolar consonants at the upper gum (the alveolar ridge), the various postalveolar consonants (including domed palato-alveolar, laminal alveolo-palatal, and apical retroflex) just behind that, the subapical retroflex consonants curled back against the hard palate, and linguolabial consonants with the tongue ...
For most sounds involving the tongue, the place of articulation can be sufficiently identified just by specifying the point of contact on the upper part of the mouth (for example, velar consonants involve contact on the soft palate and dental consonants involve the teeth), along with any secondary articulation such as palatalization (raising of the tongue body) or labialization (lip rounding).
Dentolabial consonants are the articulatory opposite of labiodentals: They are pronounced by contacting lower teeth against the upper lip. The diacritic for dentolabial in the extensions of the IPA for disordered speech is a superscript bridge, ͆ , by analogy with the subscript bridge used for labiodentals: thus m͆ p͆ b͆ f͆ v͆ . Complex ...
Rather, the same symbol is used for all coronal places of articulation that are not palatalized like English palato-alveolar sh, or retroflex. To disambiguate, the bridge ( [s̪, t̪, n̪, l̪] , etc. ) may be used for a dental consonant, or the under-bar ( [s̠, t̠, n̠, l̠] , etc. ) may be used for the postalveolars .
Its place of articulation may be; dental (behind the upper front teeth), alveolar (at the alveolar ridge), or post-alveolar (behind the alveolar ridge). It is most often apical, which means it is pronounced with the tip of the tongue. [4] Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
The teeth themselves are the only constriction: "The lips [are] fully open, the teeth clenched and the tongue flat, the air passing between the teeth; the sound is intermediate between [ʃ] and [f] ". [2] This is better transcribed phonetically as h̪͆ , since [h] has no place of articulation of its own. [citation needed]
