  Flap consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
In phonetics, a flap or tap is a type of consonantal sound, which is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator is thrown against another.
The main difference between a flap and a stop consonant is that in a flap, there is no buildup of air pressure behind the place of articulation.

 Alveolar lateral flap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lateral alveolar flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator is thrown against another.
Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.

 Alveolar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.
Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (so-called apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
The laminal alveolar articulation is often mistakenly called dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth.

One, found before vowels as in lady or fly, is called clear l, pronounced as the alveolar lateral approximant [l] with a "neutral" position of the body of the tongue.
The other variant, so-called dark l found before consonants or word-finally, as in bold or tell, is pronounced as the velarized alveolar lateral approximant [ɫ;] with the tongue assuming a spoon-like shape with its back part raised, which gives the sound a [w]- or [ɰ]-like resonance.

 Alveolar flap - Definition, explanation
The difference between a tap and a flap is that in a tap the tongue flips up to strike its point of contact, like a very light plosive, whereas with a flap the tongue is thrown out and down, striking the point of contact in passing.
The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.
The alveolar flap is not a phoneme of English, but it occurs as an allophone of [t] and [d] (the voiceless alveolar plosive and voiced alveolar plosive) in North American English and sometimes in Australian English when they occur in unstressed syllables, like in the words rider () and better ().

It should also be distinguished from a voiceless alveolar lateral approximant, although either may sometimes be described as a "voiceless l".
Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
The alveolar ridge is the ridge on the roof of the mouth between the teeth and the hard palate.

 Flapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Flapping is a phonological process found in many dialects of English, especially American English and Canadian English, by which intervocalic /t/ and /d/ surface as the alveolar flap [ɾ] before an unstressed syllable.
The cluster [nt] can also be flapped; the IPA symbol for a nasal flap is [ɾ̃], but articulatorily this is nothing more than an ultrashort [n].
However, flapping is blocked when /t/ is the initial consonant of a stem (in other words flapping occurs only when /t/ is stem-internal or in a prefix).

Dentals, alveolar and postalveolar consonants use the same symbols except for fricatives: if necessary, diacritics can be used to mark them apart; the standard version is alveolar (though in my opinion, the approximant used to mark the English ‘r’ (lowercase turned r, number 151) is distinctly postalveolar, even slightly retroflex).
alveolar nasal before a velar plosive; sometimes it replaces both segments in one: so it is often written ‘ng’.
