LIN229H1 Study Guide - Final Guide: Vocal Tract, Secondary Articulation, Phonological Rule
Document Summary
Based on understanding phonology third edition by gussenhoven and jacobs. Pharyngeal: root of tongue articulates with pharyngeal wall. Dorsal: dorsum of tongue articulates with roof of mouth (if the front of the tongue articulates then this is called palatal). If it is the back then it is called velar. Coronal: when the crown articulates with the teeth, alveolar ridge, or forward part of hard palate. Labial: if lips articulate with each other (bilabial) or with upper teeth (labiodental). Obstruents: leads to friction: plosives, fricatives, and affricates. Approximants have a light or near-contact of articulators, the air stream being so weak that no friction is produced. Sounds with a partial occlusion iike [l] are called laterals. Secondary articulation occurs in a few cases: Labialization: lips are rounded during articulation of consonant. Palatalization: front of tongue is raised during pronunciation. Velarization: back of tongue is raised (e. g. dark l) Pharyngealization: root of tongue is retracted back.
