ACCTG 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Monophthong, Diphthong, Vocal Folds
Document Summary
Classification of consonants: voicing, place of articulation, manner of articulation. Classification of vowels: position of tongue, degree of lip rounding/lip shape, duration/quality, constancy of tongue/lip shape. The language specific function of sounds as part of the language system. Words with the same spelling but different sounds. Voiceless (vocal cords are closed: nose, upper teeth / lower teeth, upper lip / lover lip. Air stream is stopped and then released, e. g. [p], [b] Narrow opening; air stream escapes with friction, e. g. [f], [v] Combination of plosive and fricative, e. g. [d ], [t ] Air stream escapes through the nasal cavity, e. g. [m], [n], [ ] Air flows around the sides of the tongue while the tip of the tongue touches the alveolar ridge, e. g. [r], [l] Between vowels and consonants because of minimal obstruction of the vocal tract, e. g. [w], [j] Part of the tongue which is the highest (front central back) spread neutral round short vs. long monophthong vs. diphthong.
