PLACES OF ARTICULATION

1. The place of articulation of a consonant is the point of contact where an obstruction occurs in the vocal tract between an articulatory gesture an active articulator and a passive location.

2. POST-ALVEOLAR: are consonants articulated with the tongue near or touching the back of the alveolar ridge.

3. Sounds: /ʃ/ as in “shot” or “brash” /ʒ/ as in “vision” or “measure”

4. PALATAL: consonant sound produced by raising the blade, or front, of the tongue toward or against the hard palate just behind the alveolar ridge

5. /j/ as in “yes” and “bayou”

6. VELAR: are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue against the soft palate, the back part of the roof of the mouth.

7. Velar consonants in English are [k], [g] and [ŋ]

8. GOTTAL: The glottal is a consonantal sound used in many spoken languages, produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract or, more precisely, the glottis.

9. The symbol that represents this sound is ⟨ ʔ⟩.

10. ALVEOLAR: Alveolar consonants are consonant sounds that are produced with the tongue close to or touching the ridge behind the teeth on the roof of the mouth.

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

12. LABIO-DENTAL: (lips and teeth) lower lip/upper teeth. A labiodental sound is produced by placing the upper teeth on the lower lip.

13. BILABIAL: (two lips) lower lip and upper lip. A bilabial sound is produced by using both lips pressed together.

14. This produces different English sounds: [p] voiceless. [b] voiced.

15. Such as "v," which involves the upper teeth and lower lip.

16. /θ/ as is “thick” and “bath“ /ð/ as in “the” and “rather”

17. The consonant sounds /t/, /n/ and /d/ are all alveolar consonants.
