1Airstream Mechanisms:
- [blank_start]pulmonic[blank_end]: egressive [lung] air, feature of all languages
- [blank_start]velaric[blank_end]: ingressive sucking sounds, used by very few click languages found in Southern Africa
- [blank_start]glottalic[blank_end]: closures at glottis and higher up, air is compressed or rarified
Place of Articulation:
- regions on 'upper' side of vocal tract: discretely different (e.g. [blank_start]labial, dental[blank_end]) or arbitrarily delineated (e.g. [blank_start]palatal, uvular[blank_end])
- [blank_start]active articulator[blank_end]: by default, the one lying 'opposite'
Manner of Articulation:
- [blank_start]degree of stricture[blank_end]: how closed the oral supralaryngeal vocal tract is at a point narrowed by an articulator
-> [blank_start]stop (plosive, nasal stop)[blank_end] - complete closure
-> [blank_start]fricative (affricate)[blank_end] - partial closure
-> [blank_start]approximant[blank_end] - no closure
- [blank_start]aspect of articulation[blank_end]: [blank_start]confirmational[blank_end] (oral/nasal, central/lateral, displaced articulation, secondary articulation), [blank_start]transitional[blank_end] (dynamic events), [blank_start]topographical[blank_end] (shape of active articulator)- Apulmonic

3[blank_start]Strident[blank_end] - consonant with hiss sound, including fricatives and sibilants
[blank_start]Stop[blank_end] - complete blockage of oral cavity
[blank_start]Plosive[blank_end] - stop with a burst of air
