 Radical consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radical consonants are articulated with the root (base) of the tongue in the throat.
Glottal consonants are also sometimes considered radicals, but they are more accurately described as having no place of articulation other than their phonation.
The term radical was coined to disambiguate pharyngeal, which had come to mean any consonant articulated in the throat, whether the articulator was the back of the tongue ("high" pharyngeals) or the epiglottis ("low" pharyngeals).

A consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a closure or stricture of the vocal tract sufficient to cause audible turbulence.
The word consonant comes from Latin and means "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, but only occur with a nearby vowel, which is the case in Latin.
Consonant letters in the English alphabet are B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z, and usually Y: The letter Y stands for the consonant [j] in "yoke" but for the vowel [ɪ] in "myth", for example.

 Palatal consonant - Psychology Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the body of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).
Consonants with the tip of the tongue curled back against the palate are called retroflex.
Consonants with other primary articulations may be palatalised, that is, accompanied by the raising of the tongue surface towards the hard palate.

The consonants are held together in different forms by characteristic vowels that vary according to the idea that it is desired to express.
It is a purely external, mechanical change induced by the presence of a preceding voiceless consonant, k, in the former case, of a voiced consonant, g, in the latter.
In the particular case we have cited the radical element conveys the idea of “four,” the notions of “day” and “absent” being expressed by suffixes that are as inseparable from the radical nucleus of the word as is an English element like -er from the sing or hunt of such words as singer and hunter.

Consonant (Fenway Recordings) boasts the first music written by former (current?) Mission of Burma bassist Clint Conley in more than 15 years, and the suggestion of the image is hard to miss: after a long absence, his Muse has returned.
For Consonant, he has enlisted the talents of three younger, top-drawer players: guitarist Chris Brokaw, formerly of Come and currently of the New Year; drummer Matt Kadane, formerly of Bedhead and also a New Year member; and bassist Winston Braman, of Fuzzy.
But Consonant’s songs — in particular "Call It Love," "Who Touches You Now?", and "What a Body Could Do" — are less reminders of Burma than suggestions of the pop evolution that might have followed had not Conley’s Muse deserted him shortly after Burma’s 1983 break-up.

In the Introductory I have explained that a radical is an Ideogram and not necessarily a noun, particle or verb, unless it be so fixed either by its relative position, or by another radical.
No less important is it to explain that although the radical displayed on the board means ‘water’ when it stands alone, its intrinsic value is to express all ideas of liquidity, fluidity, as he will presently illustrate by attaching other cards either in front of or after it.

The fifty-five radical syllables represent basic component strokes that are common to subsets of the set of standardised Liangshan Yi syllables.
This is because certain stroke forms which act as radicals, but which are do not occur with sufficient frequency to justify being given individual radical status, are included as subsidiary forms under one of the twenty-six main radicals.
Radicals are intended purely to facilitate the lookup of Yi syllables in dictionaries or for non-phonetic indexing, and would not not normally be expected to be found in ordinary textual contexts.

Further, the philosophy underlining this approach is consonant with the framework often assumed in current psychiatric theory; while the conservative approach assumes that there is a truth to be found and it exists independently of the interpreter, much psychiatric theory is based on the similar assumption that mental illnesses stand independent of their nosology.
As with radical hermeneutics, it would be admitted that a culturally unbiased classification/diagnostic schema is not possible; rather, it would focus on the benefits of such a bias, that it necessitates that cultural contexts be taken seriously, contexts which allow a closer understanding of the particular patient.
The radical approach to hermeneutics offers theoretical psychiatry a significantly different framework than the other approaches; according to this approach the very concept of mental illness is in question.

The radical morphological processes include all morphology that is not prefixation or suffixation.
Radical morphological processes may also be called non-concatenative morphology since they involve morphemes that are not merely attached to the ends of the stem but are internal alterations or copies of it.

Assuming all religions to be the same, a doctrine espoused by the radical universalists who today lay claim to the mantle of Hindu thought, would lead to the logical fallacy of Hinduism being superior to all other religions whilst being equal to them.
Assuming the moral rules of all religions to be the same flies in the face of the observed reality that they are not equivalent, giving rise to the untenable view that "diametrically opposed ethical principles are all valid" and, hence, all ethical systems are negated.

 About The Radical Academy
The "radical" pictured in our logo on the entry page is Aristotle, the first great synoptic philosopher, the father of systematic logic, and an advocate of commonsense philosophical realism.
As long as these are initially considered speculative, tentative, or experimental, there can be no rational objection to probing the mysterious realms of the natural universe or challenging what is considered to be the "conventional" wisdom.
Agreeing with Aristotle, The Radical Academy, while recognizing the primary importance of moral and intellectual goods to living a good life, also recognizes that human beings, in order to live well, must have the opportunity to acquire and possess material goods and those goods of fortune which they may desire.

 Kelly's Manx Grammar: Chapter 2
R is a light consonant, and pronounced as r English; as maroo, sarey; but when an initial, it is always aspirated as the Greek Rho, as if it were written rh, and is pronounced double (rr), like l and n in feminine and plural nouns.
S as s in the English savour, sense; as saggyrt, sollan; and is called the queen of consonants, because it is subject to no change, like the Greek Sigma, suae potestatis litera, except it be followed by a vowel, or of the feminine gender, and then it suffers a change, vid.
V is not properly a radical consonant, but only a secondary mute; however, we have some words which begin with v as a radical, therefore it is admitted as such; as vaidyn, a while ago, varrey mish, I warrant, voalley, a wall.

Thirty-five of the 37 rows contain a consonant (sometimes called a "radical") which is transformed in a fairly consistent manner as it is combined with the 7 standard vowel forms plus the 5 labialized (W) forms.
This problem of ambiguity usually occurs because it is not clear whether a consonant letter is a sadis (6th) form followed by an independent vowel form, or a syllable made up of the consonant and following vowel form.
Writing with both the one and two character representations of the 6th form consonant together may be more laborious to the typist but has the advantage of giving the reader a better demonstration of the word's sound when spoken.
