HLTA03H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Front Vowel, Vocal Tract, Postalveolar Consonant
Document Summary
Bilabial: sounds made with a constriction between the two lips. Labiodental: sounds made with lower lip and upper teeth. (the labiodental nasal appears allophonically in english when an /m/ occurs before /f/ or /v/). Linguolabial: linguolabial sounds made with the tip or blade of the tongue contacting the upper lip. Coronals: sounds made with the front of the tongue. It(cid:859)s possible to distinguish interdental fricatives [ ] from dental fricatives [ s z ]. Most languages will have either dental or alveolar articulation for the coronal stops. Alveolar: /t, d, n, s, z, l/ made with the tongue tip/blade forming a constriction with the alveolar ridge. The airstream produced in the articulation of /s, z/ must hit the upper teeth. In such cases often have laminal [t(cid:3681)] (made with the blade of the tongue) while the other is apical [ t(cid:3680)] (made with the tip of the tongue).
