PART I: Define the following terms. 20 pts


1. Place of articulation:
R: Place of articulation refers to the specific point or location in the vocal tract
where the airflow is obstructed or modified in the production of speech sounds, also
known as phonemes. Different places of articulation lead to the formation of distinct
speech sounds.
2. Manner of articulation: Manner of articulation refers to how the airflow is modified
or obstructed as it passes through the vocal tract during the production of speech
sounds phonemes.
3. Voicing: Voicing is a significant feature in phonetics that refers to whether the
vocal cords vibrate during the production of a speech sound phoneme.
4. Voiced: Voiced" refers to the quality of a speech sound produced by the vibration
of the vocal cords. When a sound is voiced, it means that the vocal cords are
brought together and vibrate as air from the lungs passes through them.
5. Voiceless: "Voiceless" refers to the quality of a speech sound produced without the
vibration of the vocal cords. When a sound is voiceless, it means that the vocal
cords are held apart, allowing air from the lungs to pass through the vocal tract
without causing the vocal cords to vibrate.
6. Stress pattern: Stress pattern refers to the arrangement of stressed (emphasized)
and unstressed (less emphasized) syllables within a word, phrase, or sentence. In
many languages, including English, the pattern of stressed and unstressed
syllables plays a crucial role in determining the rhythm, intonation, and overall
prosody of speech.
7. Silent consonants: Silent consonants, also known as mute consonants, are
consonant letters in a word that are not pronounced when the word is spoken. In
other words, these consonants do not contribute to the audible sound of the word,
even though they are present in the written form.
8. Stop consonants: Stop consonants, also known as plosive consonants, are a type
of consonant sound produced by a momentary closure of the vocal tract, causing a
complete blockage of the airflow followed by a sudden release.
9. Consonant blends: Consonant blends, also known as consonant clusters or
consonant sequences, are groups of two or more consonant sounds that appear
together in a word without any vowels between them.
10. Accent: Accent has several meanings depending on the context, but generally, it
refers to the emphasis, prominence, or distinct manner of pronunciation given to
certain syllables, words, or phrases in speech.

II PART: Describe the following sounds, represented by their phonetic symbol from the
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), according to their point and manner of
articulation. If they are voiced or voiceless and choose the right example for it. 20
