Articulatory Processes in Basic Consonant Sounds
  1. Stop Sounds
    1. These consonant sounds are called stops because the air is stopped when it gets to the oral cavity (the place where consonants are mostly produced).
      1. Basic Articulatory Processes of Stops
        1. Aspiration
          1. This only happens in the voiceless stops sounds [p], [t], [k] when they are in initial position)
          2. Neutralization
            1. When the voiced stops [b], [d], and [g] are pronounced in final position by Spanish speakers, they mispronounced them. As a result, there occurs “Neutralization”.
            2. Flapping
              1. When the spellings [t], [d], [rt] and [tl] are between vowels and the first syllable is stressed, they are regularly flapped sounds.
        2. Nasal Sounds
          1. These consonant sounds are called nasals because the air escapes through the nose. In other words, the air is blocked and diverted through the nose.
            1. Basic Articulatory Processes of Nasals
              1. Nasalization
                1. When a vowel is preceded by a nasal sound (vowel before a nasal sound which is in middle position), there happens nasalization. It only occurs in English and it is predictable.
                2. *Syllabic [ņ] and Sylllable Dropping
                  1. When an unstressed syllable begins with [t] or [d] and ends with [n], the [n] is frequently pronounced as syllabic [ņ]. In order to do so, you should keep the tongue tip on the upper gum ridge without moving it from the position of the preceding [t] or [d].
