✔✔Silent gap, release burst, formant transitions, voice onset time - ✔✔what are the four
characteristic acoustic features for stops?
✔✔longer - ✔✔voice onset time is ________ in voiceless stops
✔✔Fricatives - ✔✔Produced when pressurized air becomes turbulent, resulting in
random variations in air pressure
✔✔place - ✔✔fricatives depend on the ________ of articulation
✔✔voiced - ✔✔a. voice bar appears for _______ fricatives
✔✔affricates - ✔✔made by quickly combining a stop with africative
✔✔stop - ✔✔Affricates have a silent gap associated with the______ part of the sound
✔✔affricates - ✔✔which are shorter in duration: affricates or fricatives
✔✔nasals - ✔✔produced by lowering the velum and resonating the sound wave in the
nasals cavity
✔✔antiformants - ✔✔bands of frequencies in which acoustic energy has been damped
✔✔nasals - ✔✔are very complex sounds because they have both formants and anti
formants
✔✔similar - ✔✔Because nasal cavities do not change size or shape for each sound,
resonating characteristics is ________ for all nasal sounds.
