Consonant voicing
Voiced consonant: is one which is produced with the vocal folds (sometimes called vocal chords)
vibrating. You can feel the vibration when you put your hand over your throat.
Voiceless consonant: is one which is produced without this vibration in the throat.
Consonant phonemes which have no voiced/voiceless counterpart (tegenhanger):
Voiceless Voiced
/h/ ---
--- /m/
--- /n/
--- /ŋ/
--- /j/
--- /w/
--- /r/
--- /l/
Minimal pair: i.e., two words which only differ by one phoneme. Looking at minimal pairs can be a
helpful way to see which sounds differentiate words in a language and are thus phonemes. It also
shows that spelling and sound do not correspond with each other.
safe ~ save
life ~ live
strife ~ strive
leaf ~ leave
off ~ o f (pronounced with final /v/!)
Place of articulation
Place of articulation: means the area in and around the oral cavity where the consonant is produced.
Or it’s more technical definition: the area where the airstream is partially or completely blocked.
