Phonetics: Places of Articulation 1.1
This exercise will help you become familiar with the places of articulation; that is, the location in the vocal tract where passive and active articulators come into contact to varying degrees during sound production. This exercise is based on the sounds of Standard English.
There are several discrepancies as to how to categorize phonemes that are articulated between the alveolar ridge and the hard palate. In our materials, we make distinctions between alveolars, alveo-palatals (or post-alveolars) and true palatals. In some texts, the latter two places of articulation are conjoined and labeled as palatal. This works at a very introductory level; however, when learning the sounds of the world, these distinctions become essential.
