Voiceless dental fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The voiceless dental fricative is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages. The dental fricatives are often called "interdental" because they are often produced with the tongue between the upper and lower teeth, and not just against the back of the teeth, as they are with other dental consonants. The voiceless dental fricative occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the 'th' digraph in thing and bath. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Voiceless_dental_fricative   (598 words)

Voiceless velar plosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The voiceless velar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The voiceless velar plosive occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter 'c' in cat or the letter 'k' in skin. Its place of articulation is velar which means it is articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the velum). www.sevenhills.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Voiceless_velar_plosive   (440 words)

Voiceless dental plosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The voiceless dental plosive does not occur in English, at least as spoken by native speakers, but is similar to the sound of the letter 't', except the tongue is touching the back of the teeth and not the alveolar ridge. However, speakers of many Romance languages (such as Spanish) who speak English as an additional language may pronounce a voiceless dental plosive instead of /t/. In Finnish, the dental plosive contrasts with the alveolar plosive, although the latter is typically voiced or tapped as a secondary cue; moreover, in native words, the alveolar plosive appears only as a lenition of the dental plosive. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Voiceless_dental_plosive   (401 words)

Dental consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dentals are consonants such as t, d, n, and l articulated with either the lower or the upper teeth, or both, rather than with the gum ridge as in English. The confusion with dental articulation comes from looking at the tongue from outside the mouth: With laminal (denti-)alveolar consonants, the tip of the tongue can be seen touching the teeth. However, the apical dental consonant also has retracted tongue root—that is, it is pharyngealized. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dental_consonant   (375 words)

Voiced alveolar plosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The voiced alveolar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The voiced alveolar plosive occurs in English, and it is the sound represented by the letter 'd' in dog and bombed. However, in modern English, the letter 'd' does not always denote /d/: in the past participle of verbs ending in a voiceless consonant (e.g., washed), 'd' is devoiced to /t/. www.sevenhills.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Voiced_alveolar_plosive   (338 words)

Voiceless labiodental fricative f Although (as for beth) the more logical choice might have been the unvoiced bilabial fricative (as Ancient Greek "phi"), this is not at all attested in Hebrew; all modern pronounciations have /f/ (except Babylonian which has aspirated /p/, but this seems borrowed, since no other Semitic languages use aspiration). ir.iit.edu /~argamon/hebrew.html   (704 words)

Voiceless Plosives This multiple personality of the plosives is responsible for the two different names which are traditionally used for this phoneme category: the term stop refers to the first or silence phase, while the term plosive refers to the second or explosive phase. Moreover, phonemes equivalent to English plosives may be made at different places of articulation; for example, /th/ is a dental plosive rather than an alveolar plosive in many languages. There is aspiration after a voiceless stop in some allophones of the voiceless plosives, but almost never in the voiced case. cslu.cse.ogi.edu /tutordemos/SpectrogramReading/cse551html/cse551/node36.html   (1317 words)

Encyclopedia: Voiceless   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) English and most related languages maintain phonation as an important distinction between consonants, with almost every voiced consonant having a corresponding voiceless one and vice versa. It is also notable that in English voiceless plosive are usually aspirated while voiced plosives are not. Mandarin Chinese has pairs of aspirated and unaspirated voiceless plosives and aspiration is the main distinction rather than phonation. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Voiceless   (394 words)

ELL Honours AE : Moorthy (1997)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The data for the experimental investigation consists of the voiceless dental fricatives of five females and three males in formal and informal contexts of speech. In so doing, it hopes to generate conclusions about the frequency of dental fricative replacement by alveolar plosives, if any, and how this frequency is affected by the formality of the context. The speculation that Singaporean do not always use a voiceless alveolar plosive, but rather, a phoneme in-between that of a voiceless dental fricative and a voiceless alveolar plosive, to replace a voiceless dental fricative, will also be explored. davidd.myplace.nie.edu.sg /aes/moorthy-1997.htm   (142 words)

Travel Guide - Online Reservation - Warsaw Accommodation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The voiceless palato-alveolar fricative or domed postalveolar affricate is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages. Historically, this sound often derives from a former voiceless velar plosive (k, as in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Romance languages), or a voiceless dental plosive (t, as in Japanese) by way of palatalization, especially next to a front vowel. An aspirated and slightly labialized voiceless palato-alveolar affricate occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the digraph ch in chip. www.warsaw-hotel.info /poland-guide/Voiceless_postalveolar_affricate   (592 words)
