Phonetics (Phonation Modes/Process) 1

What is the primary articulator involved in producing bilabial sounds?

• Tongue

• Velum

• Lips

• Alveolar ridge

Which phonetic mode is characterized by the complete closure of the vocal folds, preventing the passage of air?

• Voiced

• Voiceless

• Nasal

• Glide

During which articulation process do the vocal folds come close but not close enough to completely block the airflow, resulting in friction?

• stop

• fricative

• nasal

• approximant

Which of the following is a voiced alveolar stop?

• /p/

• /t/

• /b/

• /s/

What is the primary physiological process involved in the production of voiced sounds in speech?

• • Articulation

• • Respiration

• • Phonation

• • Nasalization

Which phonetic mode is characterized by the incomplete closure of the vocal folds, allowing the passage of air with friction?

• Voiced

• Voiceless

• Nasal

• Fricative

What is the primary articulator involved in producing velar sounds?

• Tongue

• Velum

• Lips

• Alveolar ridge

Which of the following is a voiceless alveolar fricative?

• /p/

• /t/

• /s/

• /b/

In which phonetic mode is the velum lowered, allowing air to pass through the nasal cavity?

• • Oral

• • Nasal

• • Lateral

• • Glottal
