  2. Coarticulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coarticulation

    Coarticulation in phonetics refers to two different phenomena: the assimilation of the place of articulation of one speech sound to that of an adjacent speech sound. For example, while the sound /n/ of English normally has an alveolar place of articulation, in the word tenth it is pronounced with a dental place of articulation because the following sound, /θ/, is dental.

  3. Place of articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_of_articulation

    More commonly, coarticulation involves secondary articulation of an approximantic nature. Then, both articulations can be similar such as labialized labial [mʷ] or palatalized velar [kʲ]. That is the case of English [w], which is a velar consonant with secondary labial articulation. Common coarticulations include these:

  4. Secondary articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_articulation

    In phonetics, secondary articulation occurs when the articulation of a consonant is equivalent to the combined articulations of two or three simpler consonants, at least one of which is an approximant. The secondary articulation of such co-articulated consonants is the approximant-like articulation. It "colors" the primary articulation rather ...

  5. Assimilation (phonology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilation_(phonology)

    The physiological or psychological mechanisms of coarticulation are unknown, and coarticulation is often loosely referred to as a segment being "triggered" by an assimilatory change in another segment. In assimilation, the phonological patterning of the language, discourse styles and accent are some of the factors contributing to changes observed.

  6. Articulatory phonetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulatory_phonetics

    The field of articulatory phonetics is a subfield of phonetics that studies articulation and ways that humans produce speech. Articulatory phoneticians explain how humans produce speech sounds via the interaction of different physiological structures.

  7. Co-articulated consonant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-articulated_consonant

    Co-articulated consonants or complex consonants are consonants produced with two simultaneous places of articulation.They may be divided into two classes: doubly articulated consonants with two primary places of articulation of the same manner (both stop, or both nasal, etc.), and consonants with secondary articulation, that is, a second articulation not of the same manner.

  8. Double articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_articulation

    Double articulation [2] refers to the twofold structure of the stream of speech, which can be primarily divided into meaningful signs (like words or morphemes), and then secondarily into distinctive elements (like sounds or phonemes). For example, the meaningful English word "cat" is composed of the sounds /k/, /æ/, and /t/, which are ...

  9. Relative articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_articulation

    For example, the English velar consonant /k/ is fronted before the vowel /iː/ (as in keep) compared to articulation of /k/ before other vowels (as in cool). This fronting is called palatalization . The relative position of a sound may be described as advanced ( fronted ), retracted ( backed ), raised , lowered , centralized , or mid-centralized .
