CONSONANT SOUNDS
A CONSONANT SOUND IS BLOCK OF AIR MADE AS IT LEAVES THE
BODY.
WE NEED THREE PIECES OF INFORMATION TO SAY A CONSONANT
THE PLACE:
WHERE THE BLOCK OF AIR OCCURS (LIPS, TEETH, ALVEOLAR
RIDGE, PALATE, ETC)
THE TYPE OF BLOCK OCCURS (PLOSIVE, FRICATIVE, NASAL,
APROXIMANTS)
THE VOICING:
WHEN WE ARE USING OUR VOICE OR NOT (VOICED, VOICELESS)
