Study Notes
Bilabial Consonants
- Bilabial consonants are produced by bringing both lips together.
- Examples include /p/, /b/, and /m/.
Labiodental Consonants
- Labiodental consonants are articulated by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth.
- Examples include /f/ and /v/.
Interdental Consonants
- Interdental consonants are produced by inserting the tip of the tongue between the upper and lower teeth.
- Examples include /θ/ (as in "thin") and /ð/ (as in "this").
Alveolar Consonants
- Alveolar consonants involve raising the tongue in various ways to the alveolar ridge.
- /t/ and /d/: Tongue tip touches the alveolar ridge.
- /s/ and /z/: Tongue tip is lowered, allowing air to pass through.
- /l/: Tongue is raised to the alveolar ridge, but the airflow remains.
- /r/: Tongue is curled towards or behind the alveolar ridge.
- Examples include /t/, /d/, /n/, /s/, /z/, /l/, and /r/.
Palatal Consonants
- Palatal consonants are produced by raising the front part of the tongue to the hard palate.
- Examples include /ʃ/ (as in "ship"), /ʒ/ (as in "measure"), /tʃ/ (as in "church"), /dʒ/ (as in "judge"), and /j/ (as in "yes").
Velar Consonants
- Velar consonants are produced by raising the back of the tongue to the soft palate (velum).
- Examples include /k/, /ɡ/, and /ŋ/ (as in "ring").
