    Manner of Articulation II

    This document discusses different manners of articulation for consonant sounds. It describes stops like [t] and [p] which involve briefly stopping the airflow before releasing it. Fricatives like [s] and [f] almost block the airflow and involve pushing air through a narrow opening. Affricates like [tʃ] combine a brief stop with friction. Nasals like [m] and [n] involve lowering the velum to allow airflow through the nose. Laterals like [l] involve airflow around the sides of the tongue. Approximants like [w] and [j] involve tongue motion between vowel positions.

    Manner of Articulation
    So far, we have concentrated on describing
    consonant sounds in terms of where they are
    articulated. We can also describe the same
    sounds in terms of how they are articulated.
    For example, we can say that [t] and [s] are both
    voiceless alveolar sounds. How do they differ?
    They differ in their manner of articulation, that
    is, in the way they are pronounced. The [t]
    sound is one of a set of sounds called stops and
    the [s] sound is one of a set called fricatives.
    Manner of Articulation
    • Stop/Plosive
    • Fricative
    • Affricates
    • Nasal
    • Laterals
    • Approximants
    Stops (plosives)
    Of the sounds we have already mentioned, the set [p], [b],
    [t], [d], [k], [g] are all produced by some form of
    ‘stopping’ of the airstream (very briefly) then letting it go
    abruptly. This type of consonant sound, resulting from a
    blocking on the airstream, is called a stop.
    Example: p park b bark
    Fricatives
    The manner of articulation used in producing the
    set of sounds [f], [v], [θ], [d], [s], [z], [ʃ], [_]
    involves almost blocking the airstream and
    having the air push through the very narrow
    opening. As the air is pushed through.
    Example: f fish v wives
    Affricates
    If you combine a brief stopping of the airstream with an
    obstructed release which causes some friction, you will
    be able to produce the sounds [t] and [j].
    Example : t chin j ridge
    Nasals
    Most sounds are produced orally, with the velum raised,
    preventing airflow from entering the nasal cavity. However,
    when the velum is lowered and the airstream is allowed to
    flow out through the nose to produce [m], [n], and [ŋ], the
    sounds are described as nasals. These three sounds are all
    voiced. The words morning, knitting and name begin and end
    with nasals.
    Lateral
    The initial sounds in led and red are described as liquids.
    They are both voiced. The [l] sound is called a lateral liquid
    and is formed by letting the airstream flow around the sides
    of the tongue as the tip of the tongue makes contact with the
    middle of the alveolar ridge. The [r] sound at the beginning
    of red is formed with the tongue tip raised and curled back
    near the alveolar ridge.
    Approximants
    The sounds [w] and [y] are described as glides. They are both
    voiced and occur at the beginning of we, wet, you and yes.
    These sounds are typically produced with the tongue in
    motion (or ‘gliding’) to or from the position of a vowel and
    are sometimes called semi-vowels or approximants.
    The sound [h], as in Hi or hello, is voiceless and can be
    classified as a glide because of the way it combines with
    other sounds. In some descriptions, it is treated as a fricative.
