Uvula - ANSWER-(#4 on image)

Pharynx - ANSWER-(#5 on image)

Glottis - ANSWER-(#6 on image)

Three features that determine consonants - ANSWER-1) place of articulation
2) manner of articulation
3) voicing

Sounds produced by bringing both lips together (i.e. [b], [p], [m]) - ANSWER-bilabials

Sounds produced by touching the bottom lip to the upper teeth (i.e. [f], [v]) - ANSWER-
labiodentals

Sounds produced by inserting the tip of the tongue between the upper teeth and the
lower teeth (i.e. [θ], [đ]) - ANSWER-interdentals

Sounds produced by raising the tip of the tongue to the alveolar ridge (part of the hard
palate directly behind the upper front teeth) (i.e. [t], [d], [n], [s], [z], [l], [r]) - ANSWER-
alveolars

Sounds produced by raising the front part of the tongue to the hard palate (bony section
of the roof of the mouth behind the alveolar ridge) (i.e. [ʃ], [ʒ], [tʃ], [dʒ], [j]) - ANSWER-
palatals

Sounds produced by raising the back of the tongue to the soft palate or velum (i.e. [k],
[g], [ŋ]) - ANSWER-velars

,[h] produced with the flow of air through the open glottis.
[Ɂ] produced if the air is stopped completely at the glottis by tightly closed vocal chords:
glottal stop - ANSWER-glottals

Bilabial and velar - ANSWER-labio-velar

Vocal cords apart, air flows freely through glottis (no vibration) - ANSWER-voiceless

Vocal cords together, airstream forces way through, causing vibration - ANSWER-
voiced

There is a complete obstruction of airflow somewhere in the vocal tract - ANSWER-
stops

The velum is raised to block the nasal cavity so that when the stop is released, the air
flows out through the mouth (i.e. [p, b, t, d, k, g, Ɂ ]) - ANSWER-oral stops

The velum is lowered to
Open the nasal cavity (i.e. [m] [n] [ŋ]) - ANSWER-nasal stops

There is a major, but not complete, obstruction in the vocal tract (i.e. F, v, ɵ as in thick,
ð as in thy, s, z, ʃ as in issue, ʒ as in leisure, h as in house) - ANSWER-fricatives

Briefly stopping the air flow completely, then slightly releasing the closure so that a
fricative‐like noise is produced (i.e. [tʃ] as in cheap, [dʒ] as in Joe) - ANSWER-affricates

Some minor obstruction of the vocal tract w/ tongue, but air still passes through (i.e. [l,
r]) - ANSWER-liquids

[l] - If you inhale sharply you should feel air passing along the sides of your tongue -
ANSWER-lateral Liquid

[r] - articulated in the alveolar region and for most, the tip of the tongue is curled back
behind the alveolar ridge - ANSWER-retroflex liquid

1)tongue position (frontness/backness)
2)tongue height (high/mid/low)
3)lip rounding
4)tenseness - ANSWER-four features to determine vowels

[i] beet, [ɪ] bit, [e] bait, [ɛ] bet, [æ] bat - ANSWER-front vowels
