KPEERI - my study set
Stops - answer Sounds that are formed by closing off and reopening the oral cavity so
that it stops the flow of air through the mouth, such as the consonants p, b, t, d, k, and
g.
Fricatives - answer Continuants - sounds that have significant friction created as air flow
is partially obstructed and forced through a narrow space. f/, /v/, /θ/, /ð/, /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/,
/h/
Affricates - answer combination of stop and fricative, (closed stop with an immediate
release of air) non continuous sound /ch/ and /j/
Liquids - answerNo clear beginning or end point in articulation. /r/ and /l/
Glides - answer Have vowel like qualities, always occur right before vowels, never
followed by a consonant in the same syllable, never the last sound in an English
word. /w/, /wh/, and /y/
Syllabic consonants - answerLiquids and nasals that constitute a separate syllable at
the end of words. Example- rhythm, mitten, bubble, letter
sonorants - answerLiquids, glides, nasals, and vowels, the sounds that are difficult for
spelling because they are more difficult to separate and pull out of the speech stream
Obstruents - answerNon-nasal stops, fricatives, and affricates
Tense vowels - answerlonger in duration and require more muscular effort - the long
vowels sounds
Lax vowels - answerproduced without muscular tension, are shorter in duration than
tense vowels, and occur in unstressed syllables - the short vowel sounds
Anglo-Saxon (Old English) - answerOften 1 syllable words, use of vowel teams, silent
letters, and digraphs in spelling. Common everyday things, irregular spellings, function
words
Examples: sky, earth, cow, father, mother, love, would, do
Norman (Old) French - answerOu for ū-soup, soft c & g when followed by e, I, y; special
endings: -ine, -ette, -elle, -ique, words for food, fashion, abstract social ideals, and
relationships
