Study Notes
Phonetics Basics
- The main basis for distinguishing between consonants and vowels is based on the articulation of sounds.
Consonants vs. Vowels
- The main difference between consonants and vowels from the articulatory point of view is the obstruction of airflow: consonants have obstruction, while vowels do not.
Russian Phonetics
- Russian phoneticians classify consonants based on the place and manner of articulation.
Characteristics of Vowels
- The integral characteristic of vowels on the perception level is that they are perceived as sounds with a definitive pitch.
Characteristics of Consonants
- The main characteristic of consonants is that they have obstruction of airflow during articulation.
Major Classes of Sounds
- The two major classes of sounds traditionally distinguished in any language are consonants and vowels.
Auditory Distinction
- The main auditory distinction between consonants and vowels is the presence or absence of a definitive pitch.
Articulatory Difference
- The articulatory difference between vowels and consonants is the presence or absence of obstruction of airflow during articulation.
