While a phoneme cannot by definition be broken up into shorter successive units, it can be viewed as a bundle of simultaneous units called phonological features: individual properties whose sum makes up the phoneme.

Voicing is the simplest of consonant features: a consonant is either [+voice] or [-voice].

  • Voiced [+voice] will appear to the right.
  • Voiceless [-voice] will appear to the less.

PLACE FEATURES alicia_zuniga0325 https://padlet.com/alicia_zuniga0325/aanoatabe6r8jg66/wish/1855839903 There are 3 broad place features

1.2.1.  Labial: (= lips)
1.2.2. Coronal: (= in front of the palate)
1.2.3.  Dorsal (= on and behind the palate)

  •   Dentals 
  •   Alveolars 
  •   Palato-alveolars 
    •  
    • The feature [+/- anterior] distinguishes between palate-alveolars and the others.
    •  The feature [+/-strident] distinguished between dentals and the others. 
    PS: Using [+/- anterior] and [+/-strident] we can fully distinguish between Dentals, Alveolar and Palato-alveolars in Coronal features.

    Vowels form the nucleus of the syllable, as they are peak sonority

    • Vowels are [+syllabic]
    • Consonants are [-syllabic]

    [+syllabic] sounds are those which may function as the nucleus of a syllable. The basic gist is that these sounds can be the “center” of a syllable. By default, only vowels are [ syllabic], and all consonants are [-syllabic].  However, sometimes certain consonants can become [ syllabic]. In English, we sometimes find [ɹ] (the “r” sound in “her” and “red”) becomes syllabic.

    Stops are [-delayed release], (other manners generally do not use this feature).

    English has two affricates: voiceless [t͡ʃ] (as in church) and voiced [d͡ʒ] (as in judge).

    The rest are [-nasals]

    The nasal consonants of English are [m] (mime), [n] (none), and [ŋ] (young).

    Examples of semivowels in English are the consonants y and w, in yes and west, respectively.

    • Obstruents: the 3 least sonorant manners:

    • Sonorants: the 3 most sonorant (vowel like) manners: Nasals, liquids, glides   [+sonorant]

Continuant alicia_zuniga0325 https://padlet.com/alicia_zuniga0325/aanoatabe6r8jg66/wish/1856025922 [+/-continuant] is used to distinguish between the fricatives and stops/affricatives
     Fricatives, liquids, and glides are [+ continuant], since they are produced with continued friction.
    ·         Stops, affricatives and nasals are [-continuant]
