Articulatory Phonetics Redux

A quick note--I forgot to announce that my office hours this coming Thursday from 2:30-3:45 are cancelled for a department meeting. If this is a problem for you, please email me and we'll arrange another meeting time.

Here are the worksheet questions on articulatory phonetics. You might want to print it out (copy and pasting into MS Word should work) and keep it for a review sheet as the exam approaches.

Consonants:

What physiological feature determines a consonant?

Where can this take place?

Give examples of each type of consonant (dental, palatal)

What is the difference between [f] and [v] or [s] and [z]?

Vowels:

What are the front vowels?

What are the high vowels?

What are the rounded vowels?
