  Manner of articulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trill, in which the articulator (usually the tip of the tongue) is held in place, and the airstream causes it to vibrate.
Manners of articulation with substantial obstruction of the airflow (plosives, fricatives, affricates) are called obstruents.
All of these manners of articulation are pronounced with an airstream mechanism called pulmonic egressive, meaning that the air flows outward, and is powered by the lungs (actually the ribs and diaphragm).

 Place of articulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In phonetics, the place of articulation (also point of articulation) of a consonant is the point of contact, where an obstruction occurs in the vocal tract between an active (moving) articulator (typically some part of the tongue) and a passive (stationary) articulator (typically some part of the roof of the mouth).
There are five basic active articulators: the lip ("labial consonants"), the flexible front of the tongue ("coronal consonants"), the middle/back of the tongue ("dorsal consonants"), the root of the tongue together with the epiglottis ("radical consonants"), and the larynx ("laryngeal consonants").
When these are doubly articulated, the articulators must be independently movable, and therefore there may only be one each from the categories labial, coronal, dorsal, and radical.

Laterals are L-like consonants pronounced with an occlusion made somewhere along the axis of the tongue, while air from the lungs escapes at one side or both sides of the tongue.

 Articulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Articulation is the term used for all actions of the organs of the vocal tract that effect modifications of the signal generated by the voice source.
Articulation does not explicitly include voice quality factors; it may, however, influence the phonation process, due to the changed coupling between the source and the vocal tract (see section 25).
The secondary function of articulation is to shape the paralinguistic layer by "coloring" and "bleaching" the phonetic segments with the personality of the speaker.

 Phonetics 2
We have described a number of classes of consonants according to their place of articulation and their laryngeal state, yet we are still unable to distinguish the sounds in each class from each other.
Besides stating whether a sound is voiced or voiceless and giving the sound’s point of articulation, it is necessary to describe its manner of articulation, that is, how the airstream is modified by the vocal tract to produce the sound.
The manner of articulation of a sound depends on the degree of closure of the articulators (how close together or far apart they are).

A further aspect of manner of articulation concerns the speed of the whole gesture for the articulation; for taps, the articulators are in contact for only a very brief period.
Plosives, fricatives and affricates, the obstruents, are articulated with a constriction that causes air pressure to rise inside the vocal tract.
The manner of articulation labels that we introduce are: plosive, affricate, nasal, fricative (lateral and median), approximant (lateral and median), tap, flap and trill.

 Manners of Articulation
The stop and the fricative halves of these affricates are at the same place of articulation: the stop is in fact postalveolar rather than alveolar.
For example, [t] and [d] are formed identically in the mouth; the difference is that the vocal cords vibrate during a [d] but not during a [t].
For almost any place of articulation, there are pairs of stops that differ only in whether the soft palate is raised, as in the oral stop [d], or lowered, as in the nasal stop [n].

 HUMAN CONSONANT RECOGNITION FOR INITIAL AND FINAL SEGMENTS OF VCV UTTERANCES
The resulting classification data showed that, when increasing portions of the initial part of the CV were deleted, correct classification of manner of articulation decreased on average 25ms earlier than that of voicing, which, in turn, decreased about 5ms earlier that that of place of articulation.
That is, VCV stimuli containing consonants with different place of articulation would be close together (confusable) on, say, dimension 1, and well-separated (non-confusable) on dimension 2, while the reverse holds for consonants with different manner of articulation.
In terms of manner of articulation and voicing, the forward-gated stimuli were clustered as nasal consonants, voiced fricatives, voiceless fricatives and plosives, while the backward-gated stimuli were clustered as nasals, fricatives, voiced plosives and voiceless plosives.

 Linguistique UNIL - Introduction
The distinction between manner of articulation and place of articulation is particularly important for the classification of consonants.
The place of articulation is the point where the airstream is obstructed.
In general, the place of articulation is simply that point on the palate where the tongue is placed to block the stream of air.

 Phonology
In the articulation of a consonant, the airstream through the vocal tract must be obstructed either partially or completely.
The position of this obstruction and the manner in which it is effected are two of the main factors in the determination of the consonant’s acoustic properties.
A consonant’s place of articulation is usually expressed in terms of the positions adopted by its articulators, i.e.

In this lesson, the goals are to continue learning how speech sounds are classified in terms of their use of the speech system.
These are the points in the vocal tract at which the articulators alter the shape of the vocal tract to produce distinct consonant sounds.
However, consonants are further distinguished on the basis of how the articulators alter the shape of the vocal tract.

 Voice - Place - Manner of Articulation / Caroline Bowen
In the International Phonetic Alphabet consonant (pulmonic) chart you will see that eleven places of articulation are displayed: bilabial (consonants made with both lips in contact); labiodental (consonants made with contact between the lower lip and upper teeth); and so on.
These places of articulation are cross referenced with the way, or manner in which the sounds are produced.
There are eight manners of articulation: plosive (or stop) consonants in which the air-flow is stopped abruptly by the articulators; nasals, in which the air flows down the nose; fricatives in which friction is created by the air passing through lightly touching articulators; and so on.

 Places of articulation
It is possible to combine almost any place of articulation with almost any manner of articulation.
English uses the glottal "fricative" [h] -- in reality, a breathy voiceless articulation of the neighbouring vowels -- as if it were just another consonant.
In many dialects of English, it is also common for an voiceless stop in the coda of a syllable to have glottal stop begun just before and overlapping with the closure phase of the higher stop.

 Definition of Click consonant
This so-called velaric airstream mechanism is always ingressive (the air is sucked in) and can only be used for stops and affricates.
Clicks are inherently stop-like or affricate-like depending on their place of articulation: clicks involving an alveolar or palatal closure are acoustically like plain stops, while bilabial, dental and lateral ones sound more like affricates.
As noted above, clicks necessarily involve two closures: an anterior one which is regarded as primary and determines the click's place of articulation, and a posterior one which is typically velar or (less commonly) uvular.
