2. Plosive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plosive

   In other cases, however, it may be the word "plosive" that is restricted to the glottal stop. Generally speaking, plosives do not have plosion (a release burst). In English, for example, there are plosives with no audible release, such as the /p/ in apt. However, English plosives do have plosion in other environments.

3. No audible release - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_audible_release

   In most dialects of English, the first stop of a cluster has no audible release, as in apt [ˈæp̚t], doctor [ˈdɒk̚tə], or logged on [ˌlɒɡ̚dˈɒn].Although such sounds are frequently described as "unreleased", the reality is that since the two consonants overlap, the release of the former takes place during the hold of the latter, masking the former's release and making it inaudible.

4. Voiceless bilabial plosive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_bilabial_plosive

   Features of the voiceless bilabial plosive: Its manner of articulation is occlusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a plosive.

5. Assimilation (phonology) - Wikipedia

   For example, in the history of English, a back vowel became front if a high front vowel or semivowel (*i, ī, j) was in the following syllable, and a front vowel became higher unless it was already high: Proto-Germanic *mūsiz "mice" > Old English mýs /myːs/ > Modern English mice; PGmc *batizōn "better" > OE bettre; PGmc *fōtiz "feet" > OE ...

6. Lateral release (phonetics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_release_(phonetics)

   While this is a minor phonetic detail in English (in fact, it is commonly transcribed as having no audible release: [ˈspɒt̚lɨs], [ˈmɪd̚l̩]), it may be more important in other languages. In most languages (as in English), laterally-released plosives are straightforwardly analyzed as biphonemic clusters whose second element is /l/.

7. Affricate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affricate

   The English affricate phonemes /t͡ʃ/ and /d͡ʒ/ do not contain morpheme boundaries. The phonemic distinction in English between the affricate /t͡ʃ/ and the stop–fricative sequence /t.ʃ/ (found across syllable boundaries) can be observed by minimal pairs such as the following: worst shin /wɜː(ɹ)st.ʃɪn/ → [wɜː(ɹ)sʔʃɪn]

9. Allophone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allophone

   English-speakers treat them as the same sound, but they are different: the first is aspirated and the second is unaspirated (plain). Many languages treat the two phones differently. Nasal plosion: In English, a plosive (/p, t, k, b, d, ɡ/) has nasal plosion if it is followed by a nasal, whether within a word or across a word boundary.
