Ling 1 UCLA Midterm Questions and Answers (Certified Solutions) the scientific study of language linguistics structures that work together to create the sound vocal tract alveolar (#1 on image) hard palate (#2 on image) soft palate/velum (#3 on image) uvula (#4 on image) pharynx (#5 on image) glottis (#6 on image) three features that determine consonants 1) place of articulation 2) manner of articulation 3) voicing sounds produced by bringing both lips together (i.e. [b], [p], [m]) bilabials sounds produced by touching the bottom lip to the upper teeth (i.e. [f], [v]) labiodentals sounds produced by inserting the tip of the tongue between the upper teeth and the lower teeth (i.e. [θ], [đ]) interdentals sounds produced by raising the tip of the tongue to the alveolar ridge (part of the hard palate directly behind the upper front teeth) (i.e. [t], [d], [n], [s], [z], [l], [r]) alveolars sounds produced by raising the front part of the tongue to the hard palate (bony section of the roof of the mouth behind the alveolar ridge) (i.e. [ʃ], [ʒ], [tʃ], [dʒ], [j]) palatals sounds produced by raising the back of the tongue to the soft palate or velum (i.e. [k], [g], [ŋ]) velars [h] produced with the flow of air through the open glottis. [Ɂ] produced if the air is stopped completely at the glottis by tightly closed vocal chords: glottal stop glottals bilabial and velar labio-velar vocal cords apart, air flows freely through glottis (no vibration) voiceless vocal cords together, airstream forces way through, causing vibration voiced there is a complete obstruction of airflow somewhere in the vocal tract stops the velum is raised to block the nasal cavity so that when the stop is released, the air flows out through the mouth (i.e. [p, b, t, d, k, g, Ɂ ]) oral stops the velum is lowered to open the nasal cavity (i.e. [m] [n] [ŋ]) nasal stops there is a major, but not complete, obstruction in
