Our novel approach to segment classification accounts for all 73 N xs01C0 uu consonants with just four phonetic dimensions (place, manner, phonation, airstream) and does away with the phonetically empty category click accompaniment. We provide ultrasound data showing that the posterior constrictions in clicks are not produced at the 'velar'place of articulation, and that posterior place differs with anterior place. We ...

Click production is ...

Our segment classification uses just four linguistic dimensions (place, manner, phonation and airstream) and avoids the phonetically empty category click accompaniment. We provide acoustic, linguographic and palatographic evidence for active and passive articulators in the anterior constrictions of lingual (click) and linguo-pulmonic stops. We provide acoustic and ultrasound evidence showing that all click posterior ...
