They are accompanied by a continuous audible noise because the air used in their production passes through a very narrow opening either at the glottis or in the vocal tract. Oral or nasal: oral, velum is raised, cutting of the airflow through the nasal passages, nasal, the velum is lowered to allow air to pass through the nasal passages. A stop is a consonant characterized by: (1) complete obstruction of the outgoing airstream by the articulators, (2) a build up of intraoral air pressure, and (3) a release. A fricative is a consonant produced by forcing the breath stream through a constriction formed by articulators in the vocal tract. An affricate is a consonant characterized as having both a fricative and a stop manner of production.
