Tench Articulation

The document defines places and manners of articulation for speech sounds as well as voicing. It lists various places of articulation including bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, palatal, velar, glottal. Manners of articulation include plosive, nasal, fricative, affricate, lateral, approximant. Voicing refers to whether the vocal folds vibrate (voiced) or do not vibrate (voiceless) during sound production. Additional terminology is defined such as obstruent, sibilant, continuant, resonant, semivowel, and liquid.

Places of Articulation

bilabial labiodental dental the lower lip articulates against the upper lip the lower lip articulates against the upper teeth the tongue tip articulates against the upper teeth (also referred to as interdental) the tongue tip and/or blade articulates against the teeth ridge

alveolar

post-alveolar the tongue front articulates immediately behind the teeth ridge palatal velar labial-velar glottal the tongue front articulates against the hard palate the tongue back articulates against the soft palate the lips are rounded simultaneously with velar articulation the vocal folds themselves are the place of articulation

Manners of Articulation
plosive an articulator effects a complete, air-tight, closure in the mouth, while the soft palate is raised (also referred to as stop articulation) an articulator effects a complete, air-tight, closure in the mouth, while the soft palate is lowered an articulator effects a partial closure in the mouth, such that the passage of air at that place creates friction; the soft palate is raised. a single articulator effects first a plosive, then a fricative, articulation at the same, or a close, place; the soft palate is raised an articulator effects a partial closure in the mouth by allowing its sides to be free of any contact; the soft palate is raised (also referred to as lateral approximant )

nasal

fricative

affricate lateral

approximant an articulator approaches a place of articulation closely, but without friction; the soft palate is raised (also referred to as frictionless continuant ) vowel no articulator effects any kind of closure or close approach towards any place of articulation. Vowel articulation may be either monophthongal, ie all articulators are relatively stable within a syllable (also referred to as pure or simple) or diphthongal, ie one or more articulator moves significantly within a single syllable (also referred to as a glide or complex ).

Voice
voiced the vocal folds are held lightly together so that they vibrate with egressive pulmonic air the vocal folds are held apart, allowing egressive pulmonic air to pass unhindered

voiceless

Additional terminology obstruent sibilant continuant resonant semivowel liquid PT Feb 2003 general term for plosive/stop, fricative and affricate articulations general term for an obstruent with a grooved articulator with a consequent high velocity jet of air producing a whistling effect general term for any articulation where the passage of air is not checked as in plosive/stop articulation general term for any continuant articulation without friction general term for any approximant articulation that is related to a vowel general term for any approximant articulation that is not related to a vowel
