Manner of Articulation (Consonant)

What is the organ that modifies the air flow so it determines whether sound is nasal or oral?

• Tongue

• Velum

• Nose

These are the similarities between sounds "p, b, m", EXCEPT:

• consonantal

• bilabial

• stop

• voiced

These are the similarities between sounds "t, d, n", EXCEPT:

• consonantal

• bilabial

• nasal

• stop

Why are some sounds called "stop"?

• we need to stop in order to say that

• the airstream is completely blocked in the oral

  cavity for a short period

• it has some stop signs

• it stops us from saying the sound

Why are some sounds called "fricative"?

• there is no obstacle in saying the sounds

• it fibrates

• in producing the sound, airflow is so severely obstructed that it causes friction

• it stops us from saying the sound

These are the similarities between sounds "s, z", EXCEPT:

• consonantal

• alveolar

• fricative

• voiced

All fricatives are not continuants

• true

• false

Affricates are not continuants

• true

• false

In the production of the sounds [l] and [r], there is some obstruction of the airstream in the mouth, but not enough to cause any real constriction or friction.

• true

• false

after the sound [j] and [w] should be directly followed by a vowel and it sometimes occurs at the end of words

• true

• false
