Document Summary
Segments: individual sounds (consonants & vowels) e. g. b-i-n (3 segments) Implicit in phonetic symbols representing the segments e. g. [s] represents voiced fricative / [z] represents voiceless fricative. Syllables: pronunciation is not a flat sequence, but rather rhythmic beats. Produced by moving 2 articulators close enough together to interfere with the out going air stream e. g. the initial sounds in tab, dab, sat, mat, rat. Produced on a voiced air stream without interfering with the outgoing airstream. Only occurs in the nucleus of a syllable e. g. initial sounds in above, at, eel, ugly, it, open. Most speech sounds are produced on voiced or voiceless air stream: place of articulation. Only upper articulators need to be mentioned (roof of the mouth: manner of articulation. Fricatives: voiced or voiceless, does not stop the airstream. Affricates: voiced/voiceless, stop that is released through - change. Bilabial sounds: pronounced with the lips touching (e. g m, p, b)
