Consonant sounds & voiceless sounds
•
B.
•
Consonant sounds: blocking air partially or completely : through lung=> vocal tract.
Manner of articulation ( How)
Articulators may close off the oral tract for a relatively long period; narrow the space
considerably.
a. Stop (no escape the mouth)
a) Oral stop (non –nasal) ( plosives)( completely)
─ Soft palate raised =>nasal tract : blocked up+ air completely obstructed.
─ Oral stop consonants air are “explodes”=> âm bật
− Nasal stop /m/: bilabial nasal ; /n/, / ŋ/: velar nasal consonant
b. English fricative: blocking the air partially=> obstruction partially.
/f/ ,/v/, /θ/, /ð/, /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/,
− Alveolar palatal fricative consonants : /s/, /z/
/t/ /dʒ/: post +alve
c. Approximants /l/, /r/, /v/, also translated as /j/ in RP & /w/
− Approaches a certain place of articulation as for fricatives, but it
does not /r/ channeling air through the central part of the mouth.
− Approximants
−

labiodental:

/ each of the tongue => central approximant
− /l/ lateral approximant
b) The semi-vowels /j/ & /w/ : ½ bán nguyên âm.
The way they are produced (phonetically) : no observation
Phonological : distribution in English word ‘không có hai phụ âm đứng gần nhau”.

d. The glottal fricatives /h/
• Phonological/h/ is consonants & almost always found before vowels.
• Phonetically:
− voiceless =>isolation
− Before vowels=>partial voice.
− Voiceless vowel=> follow=> quality.
c) Definition :
− Consonant : + blocking air; + obstruction
− Vowels: without obstruction of the air stream oral cavity.
d) Characteristics:
1) oral : produced by mouth (velum is raised)
2) voiced : vibration of vocal cords together / closed/
4 trạng thái: freely air
w
Consonant: vocal cords closed.
3) Syllabic : form a syllable.
Vowels is centre => at syllable
+ because it in isolation
+consonant not form a syllable.
Vowels vs. consonants
Vowels
Consonants
Vocoids: no obstruction in their production
Not vocoids , contoids is obstruction
Phonological: distribution
Consonants follow by vowels.
C. Classification of English vowels:
• No obstruction=> no place of articulation (where) + no manner of articulation
(how)
a) Tongue lips
b)
Tongue height.

• /u:/ rounded, produced
• /ʊ/ short, lax
• /ə/: long neutral=> schwa => unstress.

Long vowels
1) Context: fortis consonants ( âm mạnh)
Quality: tongue height , tongue position, lips

Short vowels

2) Present or absence of stress

c) Dithong: glide : trượt từ âm này sang âm khác.

d) Phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in the language which can distinguish two words
- Have to contrast in the same environment
- Minimal pair: when two words are identical in every way, except one segment
( phoneme) which is the same position
D. Major Class feature
1) Obstruents
2) Sonorous: nasal/approximant/vowels
=> không bị chặn ở đâu đó ex: o; a
=> continuent
• Phonetic => articulation
• Phonology=> distribution

b) Syllabic
