LIN 401 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Affricate Consonant, Vocal Folds, Postalveolar Consonant
Document Summary
Whether the glottis is vibrating or not. Not vibrating = voiceless sound - the vocal folds are more open, there is not. Vibrating = voiced sound - the vocal fords are held together, creating vibrations. Tongue back and velum come together to block airflow. Tongue is next to the hard palate. Tongue next to the velum; lips are rounded. Hybrid; one sound that opens like a stop and ends like a fricative nasal/nasal stop. Velum lowers and the air goes only through the nose. Tongue gets close to a part of the mouth but doesn"t touch it. Tongue-tip touches the alveolar ridge; the air flows. Consonants: categorized are categorized into subclasses of manner of articulation.
