A.
Sound description
: For each of the 5 sounds below, identify the
voicing
,
place,
and
manner
of articulation. Use Tables 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 as needed from the textbook. Recall that the conventional order for this description is voicing, then place, then manner
. Also note that the tables in the textbook refer to groups of sounds (e.g., all velars
), but when describing a single sound, use the singular form (e.g., [ŋ] is a voiced velar
nasal
).
Example: [p] = a voiceless bilabial stop
1.
1.
[ɡ] = Voiced Velar Stop
2.
[r] = Voiced Alveolar Approximant
3.
[ʃ] = Voiceless Postalveolar Fricative
4.
[θ] = Voiceless Dental Fricative
5.
[m] = Voiced Bilabial Nasal
B.
Manners of articulation:
The ten bolded words in the list below are either places of articulation
or manners of articulation.
Your task
is to identify the
manners of articulation
and describe them, with
examples. There are four of them in addition to #1 ('Liquids'), which
has been done for you.
o
For each of the four remaining manners of articulation, provide a rough description of how the sound is produced by the articulatory organs. Use textbook Table 3.2 and Figure 3.1 as needed.
o
Then, for each one, provide two different examples
of English sounds containing that manner of articulation, along with an English word starting with these two sounds (use

to copy/paste any IPA characters you might need). Use example words different from the ones provided in the textbook and in the previous modules
. See the example for 'Liquids' below:
Liquids
: Manner of articulation
Description: the tongue is raised and curled, and the airflow escapes around the sides of the tongue.
2 Examples:
o
[l] as in
l
ong
o
[r] as in
r
ead
Bilabials
: this is a place (not manner) of articulation, so SKIP
Palatals
: this is a place (not manner) of articulation, so SKIP
Stops
: Manner of articulation
Description: Involves blocking the airflow, and then immediately releasing the air out
2 Examples:
o
[p] as in
p
op
o
[b] as in
b
ad
Nasals
: Manner of articulation
Description: Involves lowering the Velum, and letting the air flow through the nose, not the mouth.
2 Examples:
o
[n] as in
n
ose
o
[m] as in
m
ood
Alveolars
: this is a place (not manner) of articulation, so SKIP
Glottals
: this is a place (not manner) of articulation, so SKIP
Fricatives
: Manner of articulation
Description: Involves creating a small passage to let air flow through by moving two articulators close together.
2 Examples:
o
[f] as in
f
un
o
[s] as in
sh
y
Velars
: this is a place (not manner) of articulation, so SKIP
Affricates
: Manner of articulation
Description: Involves combining a stop with a fricative to stop the air then subsequently release the air with friction.
2 Examples:
o
[
ʧ
] as in
itch
