Study Notes
Consonants
- Straightforward symbols represent sounds like /p/ (as in pen), /b/ (as in book), /t/ (as in tea), /d/ (as in dog), /m/ (as in map), /f/ (as in far), /v/ (as in van), /w/ (as in win), /l/ (as in leg), /r/ (as in red), /k/ (as in keep),/g/ (as in go), /s/ (as in sun, plural), and /z/ (as in zoo, plural) are produced in different ways.
- Not so straightforward symbols include variations in spelling for sounds, such as /k/, /c/, /ck/, /q/ and /s/ and /z/, and /n/, which are not always represented by the same letters and have different pronunciations.
- Some sounds, such as /ð/ (as in they) and /ŋ/ (as in thing) are pronounced differently than their spelling suggests. Others (such as /3/) are less common.
Consonant Classifications
- Consonants are grouped according to their place of articulation (where the sound is produced), manner of articulation (how the air is blocked or modified), and voicing (vibration of the vocal cords).
Manners of articulation
- Stops (Plosives): Complete closure of the vocal tract, then sudden release of air (e.g., /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/).
- Nasals: Air passes through the nasal cavity (e.g., /m/, /n/, /ŋ/).
- Fricatives: Narrowing of the vocal tract, causing friction (e.g., /f/, /v/, /θ/, /ð/, /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /h/).
- Affricates: Combination of a stop and a fricative (e.g., /tʃ/, /dʒ/).
- Liquids: Partial obstruction of the airflow (e.g., /l/, /r/).
- Glides: Movement of the articulators from one position to another (e.g., /w/, /j/).
Stops (p, b, t, d, k, g)
- Bilabial stops (/p/ and /b/) involve both lips.
- Alveolar stops (/t/ and /d/) use the tongue tip against the alveolar ridge.
- Velar stops (/k/ and /g/) involve the back of the tongue against the velum (soft palate).
Vowels
- Produced without obstruction. Defined by tongue height and position, lip shape, and tension.
- Different vowels produce varying sounds.
Additional Notes
- Different symbols represent unique phonetic sounds, reflecting articulation and pronunciation patterns.
- The notes provide key examples to aid in comprehension of phonetic sounds and their associated spellings and pronunciations.
