Articulatory Phonetics (Places of Articulation)
-
Bilabials: /p/, /b/, /m/
- Articulated by bringing both lips together
-
Labiodentals: /f/, /v/
- Articulated by touching the bottom lip to the upper teeth
-
Interdentals: /θ/ (hard), /ð/ (soft)
- Articulated by inserting the tip of the tongue between the upper and lower teeth
-
Alveolars: /t/, /d/, /n/, /s/, /z/, /l/, /r/
- /t/, /d/: tip of tongue touches the alveolar ridge slightly
- /s/, /z/: tip of tongue is lowered, air flows
- /l/: tongue raised, air can flow through the sides
- /r/: tongue is curled
-
Palatals: /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /tʃ/, /dʒ/, /j/
