Study Notes
Consonant Articulation
- Bilabial consonants involve bringing both lips together. Examples include [p], [b], and [m].
- Labiodental consonants are produced by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Examples are [f] and [v].
- Interdental consonants ('th') are made by inserting the tip of the tongue between the upper and lower teeth.
- Alveolar consonants involve raising the tongue in various positions to the alveolar ridge. Examples include [t], [d], [n], [s], [z], [l], and [r]. For [t] and [d], the tip touches the alveolar ridge. For [s] and [z], the tongue's tip lowers letting air pass. [l] maintains tongue contact. [r] is characterized by a curling motion.
- Palatal consonants like [ʃ] (sh), [ʒ] (mea(s)ure), [ʧ] (ch), [ʤ] (dz), and [j] are produced by raising the front of the tongue to the hard palate.
- Velar consonants involve raising the back of the tongue to the soft palate. Examples are [k], [g], and [Å‹] (as in "ring").
