In the manner of articulation
1.STOP/PLOSIVE塞音/爆破音/破裂音<br>
definition:Complete closure of articulators is involved so that the airstream cannot escape through the mouth.<br>
It essential to separate three phase in the production of a stop:(a)the closing phase,in which the articulators come together;(b) the hold or compression phase, during which air is compressed behind the closure;(c) the release phase, during which articulators forming the obstruction come rapidly apart and the air is suddenly released.<br>
[b,p,t,d,k,g]
2.NASAL鼻音<br>
If the air is stopeed in the oral cavity because the soft palate is down but it can go out through the nasal cavity,the sound produced is a NASAL STOP ,in contrast to an oral stop.
For short,we use the term stop for an oral stop and nasal for nasal stop
[m,n,ŋ]<br>
3.FRICATIVE擦音
A fricatives produced when there is close approximation of two articulators so that the airstream is partially obstucted and turblent airflow is produced.The audible friction gives this class of sounds the label "fricative"<br>
[f, v, ɵ,ð,s, z, ʃ,ʒ,h,]<br>
4.APPROXIMANT近音/通音
definition:This is an articulation in which one articulator is close to another,but without the vocal tract being narrowed to produce turbulence in the airstream.<br>
[w,ɹ,j]<br>
As [j]and [w] can also be analyed as vowels,it is an important point to note,that this category overlaps with that of vowel.<br>
5.LATERAL边音
The obstruction of the airstream is at a point along the center of the oral tract,with incomplete closure between one or both sides of the tongue and the roof of the mouth.
As the lateral passage forms a stricture of open approximation,it is called "lateral".If friction is produced,it is a "lateral fricative."<br>
[l]
6.TRILL颤音/滚音<br>
A trill is produced when an articulor is set vibrating by the airstream.
[r]
7.TAP and FFLAP触音和闪音<br>
When the tongue makes a single tap against the alveolar ridge to produce only one vibration, the sound is called a tap.
[ɼ,ɽ]:[t,d]---[ɼ]<br>
8.AFFRICATE塞擦音<br>
Affricates involve more than one of these manners of articulation in that they consist of a stop followed immediately afterwards by a fricative at the same place of articulation.
[tʃ]
the place of articulation
1.BILABIAL双唇音<br>
Bilabial consonants are made with the two lips.<br>
[b,p,m,]
[w]is similar bur slightly different, it is treated as a labial-velar approximant, listed in the section of other symbols
2.LABIODENTAL唇齿音
These are made with the lower lip and the upper front teeth.
[f,v]
3.DENTAL齿音
Dental sounds are made by the tongue tip or blade (depending on the accent or language)and the upper front teeth<br>
[ɵ,ð]
4.ALVEOLAR齿龈音<br>
Alveolars are made with the tongue tip or blade and the alveolar ridge.
[t,d,n,s,z,l,ɹ]<br>
5.POSTALVEOLAR or PALATO-ALVEOLAR齿龈后音/腭龈音<br>
These are made with the tongue tip and the back of the alveolar ridge.
[ʃ,ʒ]
6.PETROFLEX卷舌音
Retroflex sounds are made with the tongue tip or blade curled back so that the underside of the tongue tip or blade forms a stricture with the back of the alveolar ridge or the hard palate.
[ʂ]<br>
7.PALATAL硬腭音
Palatal sounds are made with the front of the tongue and the hard palate
[j]
8.VELAR软腭音
Velars are made with the back of the tongue and the soft palate
[k,g,ŋ]
9.UVULAR小舌音
Uvulars are made with the back of tongue and the uvula.
"r"in french [ʁ]<br>
10.PHARYNGEAL咽音
Pharyngeal sounds are made with the root of the tongue and the walls of pharynx.<br>
[ħ,ʕ]<br>
11.GLOTTAL声门音
Glottal sounds are made with the two pieces of vocal folds pushed towards each other<br>
glottal fricative
[h] in "hat"."hold"<br>
glottal stop
[ʔ] in "fatten"[t]<br>
