    The document discusses manners of articulation and places of articulation in linguistics. Manners of articulation refer to how airflow is modified when producing speech sounds, including plosives, fricatives, affricates, nasals, approximants, and laterals. Places of articulation refer to where in the mouth a speech sound is produced, including bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, palatal, and velar.

    Manners of Articulaton

    and
    Places of Articulation

    (General Linguistics)
    Manners of articulation refer to the way in which the
    airstream is modified as it passes through the vocal tract to
    produce speech sounds. There are several manners of
    articulation, including:
    • Plosive or stop consonants: These are sounds that are
    produced by completely stopping the airflow through the
    mouth and then releasing it suddenly. Examples in English
    include /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, and /g/.

    • Fricative consonants: These are sounds that are produced


    by forcing air through a narrow gap in the mouth, causing
    friction. Examples in English include /f/, /v/, /s/, /z/, /sh/,
    and /h/.

    • Affricate consonants: These are sounds that begin like


    plosives, with a complete stop of airflow, but are released
    slowly like fricatives. Examples in English include /ch/ and
    /j/ (as in "chair" and "jump," respectively).
    • Nasal consonants: These are sounds that are produced by
    directing air through the nose rather than the mouth.
    Examples in English include /m/, /n/, and /ng/ (as in
    "sing").

    • Approximant consonants: These are sounds that are


    produced by bringing the articulators (such as the tongue
    or lips) close together, but not to the point of creating
    friction. Examples in English include /l/, /r/, and /w/.

    • Lateral consonants: These are sounds that are produced by


    allowing air to pass around the sides of the tongue, while
    blocking the airflow through the center of the mouth. The
    only example in English is /l/.
    Places of articulation, on the other hand, refer to the
    specific location in the mouth where a speech sound is
    produced. There are several places of articulation,
    including:
    Bilabial: These sounds are produced by bringing the two lips
    together. Examples in English include /p/, /b/, and /m/.

    Labiodental: These sounds are produced by bringing the


    lower lip into contact with the upper teeth. Examples in
    English include /f/ and /v/.

    Dental: These sounds are produced by placing the tongue


    against the upper front teeth. Examples in English
    include /θ/ and /ð/.
    Alveolar: These sounds are produced by bringing the
    tongue into contact with the alveolar ridge, which is the
    bony ridge behind the upper teeth. Examples in English
    include /t/, /d/, and /s/.

    Palatal: These sounds are produced by bringing the tongue


    into contact with the hard palate, which is the roof of the
    mouth behind the alveolar ridge. Examples in English
    include /j/ (as in "yes").

    Velar: These sounds are produced by bringing the back of


    the tongue into contact with the soft palate, or velum.
    Examples in English include /k/, /g/, and /ŋ/.
