Nasals: nasals also involve complete stoppage to the flow of air, but they are produced with a lowered velum.

{m, n, ŋ}

* all nasal sounds are voiced.

/ŋ/ does not occur word initially.

It occurs in two environments:

a. when the sound /n/ is followed by a /g/

sing, bring, long, strong, wrong.

b. when the sound /n/ is followed by a /k/

think, blink, monk, thank, bank, tank, link, zinc.

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

1. Stops (Plosives): stops are the type of sounds whose production requires complete stoppage to the flow of air (momentarily) ==> {t, d, p, b, k, g, ʔ}

When we describe sounds, we begin with voicing, then place of articulation, and finally manner of articulation.

/k/ a voiceless velar stop.

/d/ a voiced alveolar stop.

/t/ a voiceless alveolar stop.

/b/ a voiced bilabial stop.

The production of stops involves three stages:

1. Closure: you bring two articulators in full contact with one another, air is trapped behind the point of contact.

2. Holding: you maintain the closure creating pressure behind the point of contact.

3. Release: one articulator leaves the other - air rushes out.

Why are stops called stops?

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

Why are they called plosives? Because their sudden release causes an explosion-like noise.

Zawawi

Manner of articulation: one way of classifying consonants by referring to HOW the sound is made.

In other words, manner of articulation describes the type of flow of air involved in the production of every single consonant.
