Study Notes
Articulation in Phonetics
Definition
- Articulation refers to the process by which sounds are made using the movement of the lips, tongue, and vocal cords.
Places of Articulation
- Bilabial: Sounds made using both lips (e.g., /p/, /b/, /m/)
- Labiodental: Sounds made using the lower lip and the upper teeth (e.g., /f/, /v/)
- Dental: Sounds made using the tongue and the upper teeth (e.g., /θ/, /ð/)
- Alveolar: Sounds made using the tongue and the alveolar ridge (e.g., /t/, /d/, /n/)
- Postalveolar: Sounds made using the tongue and the area behind the alveolar ridge (e.g., /ʃ/, /ʒ/)
- Palatal: Sounds made using the tongue and the hard palate (e.g., /j/, /ʎ/)
- Velar: Sounds made using the tongue and the soft palate (e.g., /k/, /g/)
- Uvular: Sounds made using the tongue and the uvula (e.g., /q/, /ɢ/)
- Glottal: Sounds made using the vocal cords (e.g., /h/, /ʔ/)
Manners of Articulation
- Stop: Sounds made by completely blocking the airflow (e.g., /p/, /t/, /k/)
- Fricative: Sounds made by partially blocking the airflow (e.g., /f/, /s/, /z/)
- Nasal: Sounds made by allowing air to flow through the nasal cavity (e.g., /m/, /n/, /ŋ/)
- Liquid: Sounds made by allowing air to flow freely between the tongue and the roof of the mouth (e.g., /l/, /r/)
- Approximant: Sounds made by allowing air to flow close to the articulation point (e.g., /j/, /w/, /h/)
- Affricate: Sounds made by a combination of a stop and a fricative (e.g., /tʃ/, /dʒ/)
Other Articulation Features
- Voicing: Sounds made with the vibration of the vocal cords (e.g., /b/, /d/, /g/)
- Aspiration: Sounds made with a burst of air (e.g., /pʰ/, /tʰ/, /kʰ/)

- Uvular: sounds made using the tongue and the uvula (e.g., /q/, /ɢ/).
- Glottal: sounds made using the vocal cords (e.g., /h/, /ʔ/).
Manners of Articulation
- Stop: sounds made by completely blocking the airflow (e.g., /p/, /t/, /k/).
- Fricative: sounds made by partially blocking the airflow (e.g., /f/, /s/, /z/).
- Nasal: sounds made by allowing air to flow through the nasal cavity (e.g., /m/, /n/, /ŋ/).
- Liquid: sounds made by allowing air to flow freely between the tongue and the roof of the mouth (e.g., /l/, /r/).
- Approximant: sounds made by allowing air to flow close to the articulation point (e.g., /j/, /w/, /h/).
- Affricate: sounds made by a combination of a stop and a fricative (e.g., /tʃ/, /dʒ/).
Other Articulation Features
- Voicing: sounds made with the vibration of the vocal cords (e.g., /b/, /d/, /g/).
- Aspiration: sounds made with a burst of air (e.g., /pʰ/, /tʰ/, /kʰ/).
