QUESTION 1
a) Palatal
• Word: young
• Explanation: Palatal sounds are articulated with the body of the tongue raised against the hard
palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth). The sound /j/ in "young" is produced this way,
hence it is called palatal.
b) Alveolar
• Word: top
• Explanation: Alveolar sounds are produced with the tongue touching or approaching the alveolar
ridge (the ridge just behind the upper front teeth). The /t/ in "top" is made at this place.
c) Labio-dental
• Word: fan
• Explanation: Labio-dental sounds are produced by the lower lip touching the upper teeth. The
/f/ sound in "fan" is labio-dental.
