Vowels: A vowel is a syllabic speech sound pronounced without any stricture in the vocal tract.

1. a, pronounced /æ/ as in apple, pan, or mat,

2. e, pronounced /ɛ/ as in elephant, pen, or met,

3. i, pronounced /ɪ/ as in insect, pin, or mitt,

4. Long A, pronounced /eɪ/ as in late or mate A, Short: back, snap

5. Long E, pronounced /iː/ as in eat or meat (or meet or mete-- all pronounced the same) E, Short: ten, men

6. Long I, pronounced /aɪ/ as in mite or might I, Short: lick, slid

7. Bilabial: Bilabial sounds involve the upper and lower lips. In the production of a bilabial sound, the lips come into contact with each other to form an effective constriction. In English, /p,b,m/ are bilabial sounds.

8. Labiodental: Labiodental sounds involve the lower lip (labial) and upper teeth (dental) coming into contact with each other to form an effective constriction in the vocal tract. Examples of labiodental sounds in English are /f,v/. Labiodental sounds can be divided into two types. a) Endolabial: sounds produced where the upper teeth are pressed against the inside of the lower lip. b) Exolabial: sounds produced where the upper teeth are pressed against the outer side of the lower lip

9. Dental: Dental sounds involve the tongue tip (active articulator) making contact with the upper teeth to form a constriction

10. u, pronounced /ʌ/ as in umbrella, pun, or mutt.

11. o, pronounced /ɒ/ as in octopus, ostrich, upon, or motto,

12. Long O, pronounced /oʊ/ as in oats, mote or moat O, Short: rob, mop

13. Long U, pronounced /juː/ in mute U, Short: hug, cut

14. Articulatory Phonetics Voice: In English we have both voiced and voiceless sounds. A sound fits into one of these categories according to how the vocal folds behave when a speech sound is produced. Voiceless: Voiceless sounds are sounds that are produced with no vocal fold vibration. Examples of voiceless sounds in English are /s,t,p,f/.

15. 2) Place The vocal tract is made up of different sections, which play a pivotal role in the production of speech. These sections are called articulators and are what make speech sounds possible. They can be divided into two types. The active articulator is the articulator that moves towards another articulator in the production of a speech sound. This articulator moves towards another articulator to form a closure of some type in the vocal tract (i.e open approximation, close, etc – define) The passive articulator is the articulator that remains stationary in the production of a speech sound. Often, this is the destination that the active articulator moves towards (i.e the hard palate)
