APPLIED PHONETICS

IS THE STUDY OF THE WAY, THAN HUMANS MAKE, TRANSMITNAND RECIV SOUND

IS A THEORY ABAUT SPEECH SOUNDS, DESCRIBING THE SOUNDS THAT WE USE EN SPEAKING

IS STUDY OF THE SOUNDS AND THEIR PRODUCCION

CONSONAT QUALITIES

PLOSIVE.-Part of the vocal tract or mouth is closed, then air is released EXAMPLE: TOMAS, TOMATO RAT TONIGHT

Nasal: Made with the back of the mouth closing up so that air passes through the nasal cavity EXAMPLE: MOM ME MAD CALM

Tap or Flap: Basically like it sounds. The consonant is made with the tongue quickly “tapping” some part of the mouth EXAMPLE:better, Botton ATTACK BETTERMENT

Fricative: Made by closing some part of the mouth or vocal tract and pushing air through a small opening EXAMPLE: SMOLL, FORMS STOP TICK

Lateral Approximant: Made with the tip of the tongue placed against the top teeth, and air coming out the small space between the sides of the tongue and the top of the mouth EXAMPLE: LIGHT, LOVE LUCK LAY

DEFINITION: Is the configuration and interaction of the articulators (speech organs such as the tongue, lips, and palate) when making a speech sound

Bilabial: Made with the lips EXAMPLE: beatifull, bottoon PURSE RAP

Labiodental: Made with the bottom lip and the top teeth EXAMPLE: VACATIONS CALF HAVE WINE

DENTAL: Made with the tip of the tongue and the top teeth EXAMPLE: THINK FATHER BAT THE

Alveolar: Made with the tip of the tongue and the area just behind the top teeth EXAMPLE: TOLD MAN NO MAP

Post-Alveolar: Made with the tip of the tongue and the are just behind where the “alveolar” consonats are pronounced EXAMPLE: SHEEP SHOT VISION BRASH

Retroflex: Made with the tip of the tongue curved backward behind the alveolar ridge EXAMPLE: BAR CAR BOAR CART

Palatal: Made with the tongue and the palate (see definition here) YELLOW YESTERDAY BAYOU YET

Velar: Made with the back of the tongue and the velum (the back of the mouth). EXAMPLE: CUP CUT GOING FUNK

Glottal: Made with the glottis (see definition in the glossary). In essence glottal consonants are made with the throat EXAMPLE: HABITANT HOT HEABY HITCHHIKE

VOICED CONSONANTS

WE USE THE VUCAL STRINGS FOR PRODUCE DE SOUND

EXAMPLES: BAT CAT ETC

VOICELESS CONSONATS

WE DO NOT USE THE VUCAL STRINGS FOR PRODUCE DE SOUND

EXAMPLES:CAP MAUSE
