- Nasal: it occurs with a nasal occlusive, in other words, the alignment of the teeth, where there is occlusion of the oral tract, but air passes through the nose. some sounds produced are /m/ and /n/.
-Plosive: plosive or stop, occurs when there ir a oclussion, basically a blocking of the vocal tract. There is also no nasal air flow. Air flow stops completely. Sounds produced are: /p t k/ and /b d g/.
-Fricative: It ocurrs when you make sounds with the consonants /f/ and /v/. When you make this sound, there is passage of airstream in which your mouth block the passage of the air but without making a complete closure.

Manner of Articulation

We stated that in consonant sounds the airflow is interrupted, diverted or restricted as it passes the oral cavity. The respective modifications that are made to a sound are referred to as their manner of articulation. The manner of articulation, therefore, describes how the different speech organs are involved in producing a consonant sound, basically how the airflow is obstructed. Thus, the manner of articulation is a distinctive feature in the English language.

What are the different manner of articulation?

These are the different manners of articulation:

Plosives/stops: In plosives, the speech organs are closed and the oral and nasal cavity completely closed blocking off the airstream. The upbuilding pressure in the oral cavity is then suddenly released. The audible puff of air that is released is called aspiration. Plosives of the English language are /p/, /t/, /k/ (voiceless) and //b/, /d/, /g/ (voiced).

Affricates: Like with plosives there is a complete blockage of the airstream in the oral cavity. But in contrast to said plosives, the blocked-off airstream is not released suddenly, but rather slowly causing audible friction. Affricates can, therefore, be divided into two parts: a plosive followed by a fricative (as there is closure and friction in the same place). But note that affricates are always analyzed as only one phoneme. English affricates are /tʃ/ (voiceless) as in cheese and /dʒ/ (voiced) as in jungle.

Nasals: In nasal sounds the velum (soft palate) is lowered blocking off the oral cavity. Air can only escape through the nose. English nasals are /m/, /n/ and /ŋ/ as in sing, which are all voiced.

Fricatives: Fricatives are created when air forces its way through a narrow gap between two articulators at a steady pace. They can be divided into two categories: slit fricatives and groove fricatives. In slit fricatives the tongue is rather flat (as in /f/, /θ/ as in thing (voiceless), /v/, /ð/ as in this (voiced) ) while in groove fricatives the front of the tongue forms the eponymous groove (/s/ as in seal, /ʃ/ as in shock (voiceless), /z/ as in zero, /ʒ/ as in measure (voiced)).

Laterals: The tip of the tongue is pressed onto the alveolar ridge. The rims of the tongue are lowered so that the air escapes over the lowered tongue rims. The only English lateral sound is /l/ (voiced).

Approximants: The name approximants refers to the fact that the articulators involved approach each another without actually touching. There are three approximants in the English language: /j/ as in you, /w/ as in we and /r/ as in rise (all voiced). Approximants are often referred to as semi-vowels (or glides) as they represent the “twilight zone” between consonants and vowels.

Manner of Articulation is the “how” of making sounds. When learning our first language, we don’t usually think about how we make the sounds we do. We just reproduce what we’ve heard over the first few years of our lives. We make the sounds without thinking how our mouth tongue, and teeth are doing

Nasal: Stop

Like nasal consonants, stop consonants occur when the vocal tract is closed completely. But for stops the airflow is NOT redirected through the nose. Instead, the air quickly builds up pressure behind the articulators and then releases in a burst.

Fricative

While nasal and stop consonants involve a complete blockage of the vocal tract, fricative sounds involve only a partial blockage of the vocal tract so that air has to be forced through a narrow channel.

Affricate

When stop consonants mix with fricative consonants, the result is an affricate consonant. Affricate consonants start as stop sounds with air building up behind an articulator which then releases through a narrow channel as a fricative (instead of a clean burst as stops do).

Approximant

Approximants are when two articulators come close together but not quite close enough to create air turbulence.

Lateral

Lateral consonants are when the tongue blocks the the middle of your mouth so that air has to pass around the sides.

In phonetics, manner of articulation is about how sounds are produced by the 'articulators'. Articulators are the organs in the vocal tract which enable human beings to make sounds. They include the palate, tongue, lips, teeth etc. and are shown in the image below. When we speak, we use these articulators to do so. There are two basic types of speech sound:

Consonants: Speech sounds created by a partial or total closure of the vocal tract.

Vowels: Speech sounds produced without stricture in the vocal tract.

In articulatory phonetics, the manner of articulation is the configuration and interaction of the articulators (speech organs such as the tongue, lips, and palate) when making a speech sound. One parameter of manner is stricture, that is, how closely the speech organs approach one another. Others include those involved in the r-like sounds (taps and trills), and the sibilancy of fricatives.

The concept of manner is mainly used in the discussion of consonants, although the movement of the articulators will also greatly alter the resonant properties of the vocal tract, thereby changing the formant structure of speech sounds that is crucial for the identification of vowels. For consonants, the place of articulation and the degree of phonation of voicing are considered separately from manner, as being independent parameters. Homorganic consonants, which have the same place of articulation, may have different manners of articulation. Often nasality and laterality are included in manner, but some phoneticians, such as Peter Ladefoged, consider them to be independent.

Now, let's look more at the specific types of manners of articulation.

Manner of Articulation Chart

Manner of articulation examples:

Thanks to the different ways in which speakers of English pronounce sounds, the sounds /t/ and /d/ can be alveolar, post-alveolar or dental. This is because phonemes are merely ideal representations of real-world speech sounds, which can differ slightly from person to person.

Manner of articulation examples:

Bilabial and palatal approximants are semi-vowels, as the sound /w/ is similar to /u/ and /j/ is similar to /i/. Semi-vowels have a similar sound to vowels, but they are not vowels because they are non-syllabic. Non-syllabic means they have no nucleus for a syllable.

In NAE, there are six manners of articulation: Stop, Fricative, Affricate, Nasal, Liquid, and Glide. Air is restricted by a narrow passage formed by various parts of the mouth and tongue, but is not completely stopped. These sounds are made through the combination of a stop and a fricative

# data[].attributes.body
Manner of articulation is usually a part of a phonology course that explains how sounds are formed and produced. The parts of the body that help create sound are called “articulators,” which can include the lips, the tongue, and the teeth. Even the nasal cavity, upper palate, the jaw, and the vocal chords are considered articulators. By interacting with each other, these articulators produce sound.

# data[].attributes.body
Plosive consonants are formed by a total occlusion (an obstacle) that blocks the exit of air, and then the accumulated air quickly escapes with a small explosion. The consonants /p/, /b/, /t̪/, /d̪/, /k/, /g/, are plosive and vary in sonority: /b/, /d̪/, /g/ are voiced and /p/ , /t̪/, /k/ are voiceless.

Fricatives are characterized by the escape of air through a narrow opening that creates an audible friction. The voiced fricatives are /ʝ/ and /ʒ/ while the voiceless ones are /f/, /θ/, /ʃ/, /s/, /x/, and /h/.

For the affricates the air is blocked, but it melts a bit several times in a small opening. The only affricates in Spanish are /dʒ/ which is voiced and /tʃ/ which is voiceless.

The laterals are voiceless and there is a partial central obstacle in which air escapes from the sides of the tongue, forming /l/ and /ʎ/.

The vibrators are formed by the vibration of the articulator. If there are successive vibrations, that is to say that the vibration is multiple, like the /r/ of reason or donkey. On the other hand, when there is only one vibration, the vibration is simple as the /ɾ/ of wall or put.

Finally, the nasals are formed by the escape of air through the nasal cavity making resonance or nasality. The /m/, /n/, and /ɲ/ are voiced nasals.

The manner of articulation answers the question 'how'. That is, it defines how a

particular speech sound is produced in relation to the force of the air mechanism.

The manner of articulation as glossed above is to their relative stricture or obstruction and consequent release.

The air can be obstructed partially or completely warranting different manners of release.

In what follows, we shall discuss the different manner of articulation of each phoneme.
Plosives
Plosives are also known as stops.

The plosive phonemes of the English language are /p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/.

In the production of these phonemes, the articulators are usually completely held together causing causing a total obstruction of the airstream for a short period.

The airstream therein, builds a very strong pressure behind the point of closure; the air escapes with a maximum force in form of explosion.

There are three types of stops commonly described. They are:

Plosive stops; usually produced with the pulmonic eggressive airstream.

Ejective stop; /ʔ/ produced with the glottalic eggressive airstream.

Implosives; /ɱ/ produced with the glottalic eggressive airstream.
Fricatives
In the production of the fricatives, the articulators come very close narrowing the air passage.

The airstream is obstructed partially causing audible friction or turbulence.

Examples of fricatives are: /f/ /v/ /s/ /z/ /ʃ/

/ʒ/ /θ/ /ð/ /h/
Affricates
Affricates are sounds produced by a combination of a stop closure and a fricative release, (i.e., stop + fricative = affricate).

The production of affricates starts from a complete closure of the air passage when the tongue moves to the region of the alveolar ridge.

The tongue gradually slips to the region of the palate letting out the air gradually from the oral cavity.

Affricates are obstructs but non-continuants due to the complete stoppage of the speech sound.

Examples of affricates sounds are /tʃ/ and /dʒ/

Nasals

A sound is nasal when the speech air escapes through the nose.

The production of the nasal sound causes the lowering of the velum and an obstruction somewhere in the oral cavity.

The nasal sounds are termed sonorant.

The airstream resonates as it passes out through the nose.

Examples of nasal sounds are /m/ /n/ /ŋ/
Approximants
Examples of approximants are /w/ and /j/.

In the production of approximants, the articulators come very close without observable contact.

There is no obstruction of the airstream even though, the speech air passage is usually narrowed.

Approximants are also known as semivowels.

the mode of articulation describes the way in which an obstacle opposes the air outlet during the emission of a speech sound , that is, how the articulatory organs of language , such as the tongue and lips , are configured to produce sounds. A fundamental aspect of the mode of articulation is the degree of constriction in the air outlet; for this reason, the concept is generally applied only to consonants , since in vowels the constriction is always small. For any point of articulation(the place where the obstacle is placed), there can be different modes and, therefore, different homorganic consonants .

In phonology, there are eight manners of articulation that result in sound production.

The first manner of articulation is the plosives or the “oral stops.” In this process, airflow is temporarily discontinued in order to produce a sound. For example, for creating the “t” sound, a person must bring his upper and lower teeth together, with the tongue behind, and a burst of air forces the teeth open, thereby sound the “t.”

Fricative

While nasal and stop consonants involve a complete blockage of the vocal tract, fricative sounds involve only a partial blockage of the vocal tract so that air has to be forced through a narrow channel.

For example, you create a /t/ stop consonant when you block airflow completely with your tongue against the alveolar ridge.

Approximant

Approximants are when two articulators come close together but not quite close enough to create air turbulence.

The resulting sound is more like a fast vowel than anything else. For example, the /w/ approximant is like a fast /u/ sound (say /u/ + /aɪ/ really fast and you get the word “why”). Notice how your tongue never actually comes in contact with the top of your mouth.

How can you define each manner of articulation?

Plosives require total obstruction of airflow.

Nasals require air to flow out of the nose.

Trills are made by rapid succession of contact between articulators that obstruct airflow.

A tap or flap is like trill, except that there is only one rapid contact between the articulators.

A fricative is formed when the stricture is very narrow so that when air flows out, a hissing noise is made.

An approximant is a phone made when the obstruction of airflow does not produce any audible friction.

A lateral is made when air flows out of the sides of the mouth.
