Consonant Production

matching/flashcard material from Lauren Baker, Kristen Bradshaw, Chelsea Sherman
relevant to Exam 3 & final exam

AB
glidesproduced with tongue moving from one position to another
glidessimilar to diphthongs but shorter in duration
/j/glide with the higher F2
/w/glide with the lower F2
semivowelsglides, liquids, nasals
liquidsStrong formant structure
/r/liquid with low F3 compared to adjacent vowels
/l/liquid with F3 similar to that of surrounding vowels
nasal murmurcaused by larger area of vocal tract
antiformantscaused by internal structure and lining of the nasal cavity
/m/nasal with lowest frequency of nasal murmur
/ŋ/nasal with highest frequency of nasal murmur
stopsmost effected by insufficient closure of the velopharyngeal port
sonorantsresonant consonants are also known as
obstruentsNon-resonant consonants are also known as
continuantsFricatives are also known as
radiation characteristicIncrease in spectral slope that occurs at the lips
stop closing phaseVowel to consonant formant transition
stop closure phaseStop gap
stop release phaseNoise burst
noise burstBrief spike of spectral energy
stop rise/fall timeshortest
fricative rise/fall timeLongest
affricate rise/fall timeMedium
C (constant for speed of sound)33,100 cm/s
PalatoglossusMuscle that lowers velum
Levator palatiniMuscle that raises velum
voiceless stop consonantsAspiration present
voiced stop consonantslow/no aspiration
voice bar for non resonant consonantsdark horizontal band at bottom of spectrogram
