Reticulation or Reticulated may refer to: Reticulation (single-access key), a structure of an identification tree, where there are several possible routes to a correct identification; A coloration pattern of some animals (e.g. the reticulated giraffe) An arrangement of veins in a leaf, with the veins interconnected like a network
A retroflex (/ ˈ r ɛ t r ə f l ɛ k s,-r oʊ-/ ⓘ), apico-domal, or cacuminal [citation needed] (/ k ə ˈ k j uː m ɪ n ə l / ⓘ) consonant is a coronal consonant where the tongue has a flat, concave, or even curled shape, and is articulated between the alveolar ridge and the hard palate. They are sometimes referred to as cerebral ...
Consonants are speech sounds that are articulated with a complete or partial closure of the vocal tract. They are generally produced by the modification of an airstream exhaled from the lungs. The respiratory organs used to create and modify airflow are divided into three regions: the vocal tract (supralaryngeal), the larynx , and the ...
An articulated vehicle is a vehicle which has a permanent or semi-permanent coupling in its construction. This coupling works as a large pivot joint , allowing it to bend and turn more sharply. There are many kinds, from heavy equipment to buses , trams and trains .
Its place of articulation is dental or alveolar, which means it is articulated behind upper front teeth or at the alveolar ridge. It is most often apical, which means that it is pronounced with the tip of the tongue. Its phonation is voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
The transcription [ɥ̈] vs. [ẅ] may also denote a distinction in the type of rounding, with the former symbol denoting a semivowel with compressed rounding typical of front vowels, and the latter symbol denoting a semivowel with protruded rounding typical of central and back vowels, though an additional verbal clarification is usual in such ...
Voice or voicing is a term used in phonetics and phonology to characterize speech sounds (usually consonants).Speech sounds can be described as either voiceless (otherwise known as unvoiced) or voiced.
The secondary articulation of such co-articulated consonants is the approximant-like articulation. It "colors" the primary articulation rather than obscuring it. Maledo (2011) defines secondary articulation as the superimposition of lesser stricture upon a primary articulation.
