	Place of articulation
		The lower lip articulates with the upper teeth.
		The possible places of articulation form a continuum along the upper surface of the vocal tract; therefore the places listed above should be seen as arbritary (but conventional) divisions which can be modified if necessary through the use of additional categories, e.g., "interdental", "alveolo-palatal" or "prevelar".
		Uvular place of articulation is illustrated by the formal pronunciation of "r" in French or German (a uvular trill [

		: 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).
		In articulatory 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").

		Place of Articulation and Manner of Articulation
		The distinction between manner of articulation and place of articulation is particularly important for the classification of consonants.
		In general, the place of articulation is simply that point on the palate where the tongue is placed to block the stream of air.

	Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology
		Place of articulation is defined in terms of the the articulators involved in the speech gesture.
		These active articulators are attached to the jaw which is relatively free to move when compared to parts of the vocal tract connected directly to the greater mass of the skull.
		Sometimes the active articulator is also explicitly included in the name of a place of articulation by use of the prefixes "apico-" and "lamino-".

		In phonetics, the shaping of the vocal tract (larynx, pharynx, and oral and nasal cavities) by positioning mobile organs (such as the tongue) relative to other parts that may be rigid (such as the hard palate) and thus modifying the airstream to produce speech sounds.
		A complex consonant speech sound the articulation of which involves a plosive followed immediately by a fricative at the same place of articulation.

		The articulators relevant for place of articulation are the lips, the tongue tip, the tongue body, the tongue root, the pharynx (the region behind and below the oral cavity), and the glottis (the gap between the vocal cords).
		The place of articulation for this consonant is one we didn't encounter for English stops; it is the second of the possible places associated with the lips (in addition to bilabial place of articulation).
		The voiced fricative at this place of articulation is a somewhat marginal phoneme in English, and it does not normally appear at the beginnings of words.

		Since the consonants are described in terms of their place of articulation and the manner of articulation, the table is arranged accordingly.
		The contrast with reference to these places in a language could be shown with the help of 'diacritics', since the chart gives another table of diacritics towards the end.
		The shaded squares on the main chart refer to articulations that are impossible to make whereas unshaded square indicate that the sound in question is possible to produce but has not been found yet in any language.

	Articulation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.

		Fricatives at coronal (front of tongue) places of articulation are usually, though not always, sibilants.
		Trill, in which the articulator (usually the tip of the tongue) is held in place, and the airstream causes it to vibrate.
		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).

		The main areas of articulation for consonants are the lips, upper front teeth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, soft palate, uvula, the pharynx and the larynx.
		An articulation is a narrowing or constriction of the vocal tract caused by an active articulator approaching a passive articulator, or by two active articulators approaching one another.
		Articulations may be simple and consist of only one constriction, or they may be complex and consist of two equal constrictions (a double articulation) or of a primary and a secondary articulation.

		The severity of the articulation deficit is found to be related to the severity of clefting.
		In most instances where compensatory articulations are substituted for target phonemes, the correct manner of articulation is preserved while correct place of articulation is sacrificed.
		Generally, the place of articulation is moved posteriorly.

	Place of Articulation
		A sound's place of articulation is usually named by using the Latin ajective for the active articulator (ending with an "o") followed by the Latin adjective for the passive articulator.
		The lower lip is the active articulator and the upper teeth are the passive articulator.
		The active articulator is the tongue body and the passive articulator is the soft palate.

		This closure takes place at the beginning of the consonant and is then released in some fashion.
		By changing the place of articulation, manner of articulation, and voicing of the sound produced, humans can create different consonants.

		In speech, consonants may have different places of articulation, generally with full or partial stoppage of the airstream.
		In laterals, the air is released past the tongue sides and teeth rather than over the tip of the tongue, and is technically a manner of articulation, not a place of articulation.
		Some languages have sounds with two places of articulation.

	International Phonetic Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For instance, a flap and a tap are two different articulations, but since no language has (yet) been found to make a phonemic distinction between them, the IPA does not provide them with dedicated symbols.
		The pulmonic consonant table, which includes most consonants, is arranged in rows that designate manner of articulation and columns that designate place of articulation.
		Although there is a single symbol for the coronal places of articulation for all consonants but fricatives, when dealing with a particular language, the symbols are treated as specifically alveolar, post-alveolar, etc.

		The column titles are abbreviations of the place of articulation of the consonants in that column.
		The following table is a list of some of the complex consonants that have either double articulation (both places of articulation with the same degree of stricture) or secondary articulation (a primary articulation coupled with a secondary articulation with a lesser degree of stricture) that also have their own single IPA symbol.
		Note that the labial-velar and labial-palatal approximants are not "labialised" as both the labial articulation and the velar or palatal articulation have approximant stricture.

		Place of Articulation The point in the vocal tract where the air stream is restricted or interrupted determines the sound of the consonant.
		When the articulators approach or contact the various stable points within the vocal tract, the sounds produced can be classified by their point or place of articulation, which for English include the lips, teeth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, and velum (soft palate).
		English uses seven places of articulation (bilabial, labiodental, interdental, alveolar, palatal, velar and glottal) and six manners of articulation (oral and nasal stop; fricative, affricate, glide, and liquid).

		In the present study, we analysed the connection of physical characteristics of visual patterns with consonant types, considering the manner and place of articulation.
		By cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling procedure, the two clusters of visual patterns were extracted: taketes (sharp, dark figures) and malumas (oval, light figures), and corresponding sets of takete-like pseudo-words and maluma-like pseudo-words.
		As regards the place of articulation, takete-like pseudo-words have more velar /g/k/h/ and dental /t/ts/z/s/ consonant types.

		Other places of articulation are utilized for other English consonants that are not stops and for consonants in other languages.
		The place of articulation is the same as for [ɾ], but in this case the tongue strikes the alveolar ridge several times.
		In the bilabial place of articulation, it has stops and a nasal but no fricatives, though there are fricatives in the nearby labiodental place of articulation.
