Stops are special because their production happens in clear stages.

 

Stages of producing stops:

a. Closure: one articulator makes full contact with another articulator, trapping air behind the point of contact.

 

b. Holding: the closure is maintained, and air pressure is built behind the point of contact.

 

c. Release: One of the articulators leaves the other (the point of contact is broken) allowing air to rush out.

 

Why are stops called plosives?

 

Because their sudden release causes an explosion-like noise.

1. Stops (Plosives) - {p, b, t, d, k, g, ʔ}

 

Why are stops called stops?

 

Because their production involves complete stoppage to the flow of air.

 

Place of articulation and manner of articulation are parameters or different methods to describe consonants.

 

* We now have 3 dimensions for the description of consonants.

 

- Voicing

- Place of articulation

- Manner of articulation

 

Why is it important to add manner of articulation? Because using three parameters rather than two makes your description of the consonants more accurate.

 

Zawawi

Manner of articulation ==> One method/parameter that we can use to classify and describe consonants by referring to how the sound is made. In other words, we look at the flow of air that accompanies the production of every single consonant.

 

a. Full obstruction

b. Partial obstruction

 

Free movement of air is not associated with consonants. Instead, it is associated with vowels.

 

Based on manner of articulation, consonants can be divided into 5 groups.

 

Zawawi

Place of articulation ==> Is a method that we can use to describe consonants and classify them into groups - where the sound is made.

 

Based on place of articulation, consonants can be divided into various groups including bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, postalveolar, palatal, velar, uvular, glottal and labiovelar.
