Document Summary
New homework, create two new brand names for each specified criteria in the file one. Only a consonant can be a coda or an onset. A vowel can never be a code or an onset. Completely disregard spelling when you are attempting to identify anything with phonetics, it will only mess you up. Word final nasals are syllabic, they act like a vowel, when they follow an obstruent: prism, bottom. Word-final liquids are syllabic when they follow another consonant: handle, riddle, hammer, bitter. The period of noiselessness between the release of a stop and the onset of the vowel, a. k. a that puff of air is referred to as aspiration. This is indicated by a superscripted h placed after the consonant. In english, voiceless stops (only voiceless) /p,t,k/ are aspirated word-initially and before stressed vowels, except after [s]. Occurs in north american english between two vowels.
