  2. Place of articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_of_articulation

    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 ...

  3. Voiced alveolar and postalveolar approximants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_alveolar_and_post...

    Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue at the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal. Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.

  4. Palato-alveolar ejective affricate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palato-alveolar_ejective...

    Its place of articulation is palato-alveolar, that is, domed (partially palatalized) postalveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of the tongue behind the alveolar ridge, and the front of the tongue bunched up ("domed") at the palate. Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.

  5. Homorganic consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homorganic_consonant

    In phonetics, a homorganic consonant (from homo-"same" and organ "(speech) organ") is a consonant sound that is articulated in the same place of articulation as another. For example, [ p ] , [ b ] and [ m ] are homorganic consonants of one another since they share the bilabial place of articulation.

  6. Articulatory phonetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulatory_phonetics

    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 .

  7. Voiced pharyngeal fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_pharyngeal_fricative

    Its place of articulation is pharyngeal, which means it is articulated with the tongue root against the back of the throat (the pharynx). Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation. It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.

  8. Voiced velar lateral affricate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_velar_lateral_affricate

    Its manner of articulation is affricate, which means it is produced by first stopping the airflow entirely, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence. Its place of articulation is velar, which means it is articulated with the back of the tongue (the dorsum) at the soft palate. Its ...

  9. Laryngeal theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_theory

    They are regularly known as laryngeal, but the actual place of articulation for each consonant remains a matter of debate. . The laryngeals got their name because they were believed by Hermann Möller and Albert Cuny to have had a pharyngeal, epiglottal, or glottal place of articulation, involving a constriction near the larynx.
