Study Notes
Articulation of Sounds
- The sound produced by letting the airstream flow around the sides of the tongue as the tip of the tongue makes contact with the middle of the alveolar ridge is the lateral sound.
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
- The voiced sound produced by raising and curling back the tongue tip near the alveolar ridge is [ʐ].
- The voiced bilabial fricative according to the IPA is [β].
Place of Articulation
- Sounds produced with the lower lip and upper teeth making contact are labiodental sounds.
- The sound produced with the front part of the tongue on the alveolar ridge is an alveolar sound.
Manner of Articulation
- The manner of articulation that involves almost blocking the air stream and having the air push through a very narrow opening is the fricative manner.
Phonetics
- The study of the physical aspects of sounds is called phonetics.
- The subfield of phonetics that focuses on the perception of speech sounds is speech perception.
- A speech sound is technically termed a phone.
