    Semester: One Level: First year

    Module: Phonetics Exercise

    THE ANSWER:

    1-Completing the charts with consonant sounds:

    a- Placing (point) of Articulation

    Bilabial Labio-dental Dental Alveolar

    (the lips come together (the lower lip and the (the tip of tongue and (the tip of the tongue
    as in /p/, /b/, /m/) upper teeth come the upper teeth come and touches alveolar
    together e.g. /f/, /v/) together e.g. /θ/ and /ð/) ridge e.g. /t/, /d/, /s/,
    /z/, /n/, /l/, /r/)

    [p] as in *pat* [f] as in *fan* [θ] as in *think* [t] as in *top*

    [b] as in *bat* [v] as in *van* [ð] as in *this* [d] as in *dog*

    [m] as in *mat* [n] as in *no*

    b- Placing (point) of Articulation:

    Palato-alveolar Palatal Velar Glottal

    (the tip of the tongue (the front of the tongue (the back of the tongue (between the vocal
    and the alveolar ridge and the hard palate e.g. and the soft palate or cords opening, such
    e.g. /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /tʃ/, /dʒ/) /j/) velum e.g. /k/, /g/, as /h/)
    /Ŋ/, /w/)

    [ʃ] as in *shoe* [ç] as in the German [g] as in *go* [h] as in *hat*


    *ich*

    [ʒ] as in *measure* [ʝ] (voiced counterpart of [ŋ] as in *sing* [ʔ] as in the Cockney
    [ç]) English *bottle* (glottal
    stop)

    [d͡ ʒ] as in *judge* (a [k] as in *cat*


    combination of [d] and
    [ʒ])

    [t͡ ʃ] as in *cheese* (a
    combination of [t] and
    [ʃ])

    c- Manner (mode) of Articulation:

    Plosives Nasals Affricates Fricatives Lateral Semi-


    vowels

    [p] as in *pat* [m] as in [t͡ ʃ] as in [f] as in *fish* [l] as in *lake* [w] as in


    *mat* *chocolate* (lateral *wet*
    approximant)

    [b] as in *bat* [n] as in [d͡ ʒ] as in *judge* [v] as in *vine* [j] as in


    *nice* *yellow*

    [t] as in *top* [ŋ] as in [θ] as in *think*


    *sing*

    [d] as in *dog* [ð] as in *this*

    [k] as in *kite* [s] as in *snake*

    [g] as in *go* [z] as in *zeppelin*

    [ʃ] as in *shore*

    [ʒ] as in *genre*

    [h] as in *house*

    2- Describing the following consonant sounds:

    1. /f/ (as in *fun*):

     Description: Voiceless labiodental fricative.

     How to produce it: Place the upper teeth against the lower lip and blow air without vibrating
    the vocal cords.

    2. /θ/ (as in *think*):

     Description: Voiceless dental fricative.

     How to produce it: Place the tongue against the upper front teeth without vibrating the vocal
    cords.

    3. /b/ (as in *big*):

     Description: Voiced bilabial plosive.


     How to produce it: Bring both lips together and release them with a burst of air, vibrating the
    vocal cords.

    4. /dʒ/ (as in *judge*):

     Description: Voiced postalveolar affricate.

     How to produce it: Begin with the tongue against the alveolar ridge, then move it back to the
    postalveolar region while vibrating the vocal cords.

    5. /j/ (as in *yellow*):

     Description: Voiced palatal approximant (also considered a semi-vowel).

     How to produce it: Raise the body of the tongue toward the hard palate without creating a
    constriction, allowing voiced airflow.

    6. /ŋ/ (as in *sing*):

     Description: Voiced velar nasal.

     How to produce it: Lower the velum, allowing air to pass through the nasal cavity while the
    vocal cords vibrate.

    3- Classifying the words below in the following chart:

    Teacher shame there theater chair theory them church shine rather which within three
    cheap thin shop

    /ʃ/ /Ө/ /t ʃ/ /ð/

    There
    Teacher
    Theory
