Document Summary
There are no spaces or pauses between words. We (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t use orthography i(cid:374) pho(cid:374)eti(cid:272)s because we want an unambiguous (one meaning) system. Nasal is always voiced (bilabial, alveolar and velar) Place of articulation is where the sounds are made in the oral cavity. Manner of articulation talks about how you make the sound (stops vs. ______) Air is stopped completely at the glottis by tightly closed vocal folds, then glottal stop (ah ah ah ah, t in latin and button) Voiceless: air passes freely into supraglottal cavities [p] [t] [k] [s] Voiced: if vocal folds are together, then the airstream forces its way through and causes them to vibrate [b] [d] [g] [z] This phonetic feature distinguishes between word pairs such as: rope/robe, fate/fade, rack/rag. Compare: pill vs. spill, kill vs. skill, till vs. skill (first word in pair is aspirated) Aspirated stops are indicated by a superscript. [p] vs. [b] different in terms of voicing.
