10. Consonant sounds
Place of Articulation

1. Bilabial [b] [m] [p] /w/ made with the two lips
2 Labiodental [f] [v] ( lower lip and upper front teeth).
3. Dental [θ] breath [ð ] breathe ( tongue tip or blade and
upper front teeth)
4. Alveolar [ t ] [ d] [ n] [ s ] [ z] [ l ] [r] ( tongue tip or
blade and the alveolar ridge) (p.32)
Retroflex [ r] ( tip of the tongue and the back of the alveolar
ridge)

11. 5. Palatals (sounds which are produced with the
tongue and the palate are called palatals or alveo-
palatals). [ʃ] [ʒ] [tʃ] [dʒ] [ j ] p32 .
(Palato-Alveolar [ʃ] [ʒ] [tʃ] [dʒ] ( Tongue blade and the back
of the alveolar ridge)
6. Velars [ k] [ g] [ŋ] (Sounds produced with
the back of the tongue against the velum are called
velars. ( Back of the tongue and soft palate)
7. Glottal [ h ] (There is one sound that is produced
without the active use of the tongue and other parts of
the mouth).

12. Manner of articulation
•Stops [p] [b] [t] [d] [k] [g]
•Fricatives [f] [v] [θ][ð] [s] [z] [ʃ] [ʒ]
•Affricates [tʃ] /dʒ/
•Nasals [m] [n] [ŋ]
•Liquids [l] [r]
•Glides [w] [j] [h]
•The glottal stop and the flap

13. The glottal stop, represented by the symbol [ʔ], occurs
when the space between the vocal cords (the glottis) is closed
completely (very briefly), then released.

Flap
American English speakers who pronounce the word
butter in a way that is close to ‘budder’, then you are making a
flap. It is represented by [D] or sometimes [ɾ]. This sound is
produced by the tongue tip tapping the alveolar ridge briefly.
Many American English speakers have a tendency to ‘flap’
the [t] and [d] consonants between vowels so that, in casual
speech, the pairs latter and ladder, writer and rider, metal and
medal do not have distinct middle consonants. They all have
flaps.
